Who is Allison Occkial?
I am a wife, mama of 2, business owner and self-proclaimed health and wellness fanatic! I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Health Coach and Personal Fitness Trainer, working in the health field since 2008.
I am a recovered “Type-A Perfectionist”, who knows exactly what it feels like to be over-stressed, lacking that zest and energy for life, and wondering why I don’t feel like “normal self”. I’ve overcome my own health struggles through holistic lifestyle changes.
How Do I Help? What’s My Goal? Educating & empowering others (specifically women) on how to look, feel and function at their best with using natural approaches (no gimmicks here!)
I wear many “hats” so to speak; I not only help you with the “what to do” but also more importantly…”How is that going to happen?”
The “What to Do?” That could include recommendations, a plan and resources on exercise, nutrition, sleep, hormone and gut health and more.
And “How Does this Happen?” I support my clients through 1:1 coaching sessions, small group sessions and online messaging support.
Ultimately we break through any barriers that have been limiting you from your full potential and optimal health. It is also important that you enjoy and feel confident that you can maintain the lifestyle (changes) you are implementing
I believe the best results come with consistent effort and good old hard work. It also takes collaboration, trust and communication between the two of us, but also in collaboration with your health team & community (therapist, physician, family and friends etc).
I understand, value and respect the importance of holistic health, meaning your mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and even environmental health are in sync & balanced.
In addition, using a functional medicine (root cause) approach, we know that the physical aspect of health (your physiology) will affect your mental health (your psychology).
Did you know? Your gut health (microbiome) directly affects your brain and mental health?
EVERYTHING is connected – and things like movement, specific foods, nutrients etc can be very powerful in healing & supporting the body!
I truly applaud you for being here & prioritizing your health by working with a therapist or counselor. While I incorporate mental well-being into my programs, I focus more on the physical aspect of health and lifestyle components such as movement, exercise, nutrition and managing stress levels
Many of my clients come to me:
-
Wanting to lose weight, change your body shape or have more toned lean muscle
-
Trying “all the things” but still not losing or even gaining weight
-
Frustrated with trying all the different diets and exercise programs without any results or lasting change
-
Finding yourself doing “really good” during the week, yet crashing and “falling off” on weekends
-
Having a hard time staying consistent with your eating and exercise
-
Feeling burnt out and STRESSED out
-
Unhappy in your body and not feeling like yourself
So if you have other health goals beyond improving your emotional & mental health, such as having more energy, better body composition, strength & endurance, less cravings & consistent eating habits…then I can help!
My holistic approach to health is to help you create balance within all the areas of your life. With this balance, you can reach your health goals while enjoying the process and journey!
I’d love the opportunity to meet you and see how I can help you with your goals & healthy lifestyle!
