Lifestyle Exercise Attitude Nutrition*
I have been interested in health and wellness for many years. When my father was diagnosed with heart disease during my teenage years, I decided right then to educate myself on fitness and nutrition to avoid the same fate. This decision had a significant impact on my life, leading me to pursue a lifelong journey toward better health.
Years later, I met a certified health coach. It was during this coaching relationship that I learned that nutrition is not just about counting calories, but also considering the QUALITY of the food we eat. Much of the food available to us is processed, fake, and filled with artificial colors, preservatives, and chemicals. No wonder our bodies are rebelling and so many are suffering from chronic illnesses, obesity, and diabetes. Our bodies are designed to eat whole, real food, not laboratory creations! I realized that I had been misled too, and I became passionate about sharing my newfound knowledge. My coach encouraged me to put my passion into practice by pursuing a health coach certification. I thought this was a great idea because I was often asked for my opinion on healthy eating and before meeting my coach, I didn’t even know that health coaching existed. I thought this would be a great way to put my passion into practice, as my coach suggested.
I believe that we all want to live happy, healthy, and robust lives and understand how lifestyle, exercise, attitude, and nutrition affect every aspect of our health. As a master certified health coach with personal experience and education, I have a heartfelt desire to help motivate, educate, and empower groups and individuals to add life to their years and live them to the fullest. This is why I started Step Forward Health Coaching, LLC. I believe I can help you. Take that “step forward” and contact me to find out how.
Cara was a tremendous help to me on my health journey. During the time we worked together, I dropped several pounds, improved my A1C, and even with neuropathy, I felt stronger and healthier while working with her. She was thorough, understanding, and very knowledgeable about various methods necessary to achieve my health goals. I highly recommend Cara without reservation!
If you are wanting to feel healthier, mentally, and physically WITHOUT DIETING, then Cara is the health coach to help you make those changes to get there.
Working with Cara is a true partnership! She took an active, passionate interest while listening and working with me to develop ways I could make healthy permanent lifestyle changes. If something wasn’t working for me then I wasn’t pressured to keep doing it. That was very important to me! We collaborated to find other solutions! With her commitment, support, and respect I was able to achieve many of those goals while learning more about myself than I thought I would. I feel great and lost some weight!
Cara is very knowledgeable! She wants to share that knowledge because she genuinely wants everyone to have a longer, healthier, and more robust life. I highly recommend Cara!
