Greetings everyone! I am Jackie Rathbun, your devoted holistic health coach specializing in functional nutrition at Grace Christian Counseling. I am eager to share my personal journey to holistic health with you, recounting the steps that led me to this fulfilling path and illustrating how I can assist you in navigating the road to a healthier and well-rounded you, well… not a physically rounded you. 😉
Many years ago, following the birth of my youngest, I faced a formidable adversary — Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid disorder. The traditional remedies I received from western medicine only seemed to escalate my symptoms, leaving me feeling lost and disconnected from my body. It was a wake-up call, a clear signal that I had to take the reins and steer towards a route that promises holistic health and vitality.
In the subsequent fifteen years, I embraced the role of a student, immersing myself in the holistic care landscape with an undeterred focus on understanding the entire body system, rather than just addressing isolated symptoms. The goal was straightforward: to attain optimal functioning for my body.
Now, as a certified functional nutrition coach from the reputable Functional Nutrition Alliance and with my nest now empty (celebrating my youngest’s graduation from Trinity Christian!), I am here to facilitate your journey to holistic health, encouraging you to regain authority over your well-being, a journey I undertook and succeeded in.
In my role as your holistic coach, I endeavor to dig deep, reaching the very core of your health issues, be they physical, mental, or emotional. We get to figure you out, together. Picture your body as a thriving plant, with its health largely influenced by the quality of the soil it is rooted in. This analogy holds true for us, with our holistic health deeply intertwined with our surroundings, both internally and externally. Every facet of our daily routine, from the food choices we make to our lifestyle habits, holds a significant sway over our health.
Leveraging online coaching, I am here to guide you in nurturing your internal "soil", replenishing it with the necessary nutrients to foster growth and prosperity, aiming for a lifestyle that is resonant with wellness and devoid of disease.
Recognizing the unique nature of everyone’s journey, my approach shuns the one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it embraces a personalized strategy centered on understanding your distinct experiences and health history. The ultimate goal is to craft a personalized blueprint for you, promoting a symbiotic relationship between mind, spirit, body, and emotions — the true essence of holistic health.
As part of my dedicated service, I offer:
Comprehensive Health History Intake Session (1+ hour): A session devoted to unraveling your health history, focusing on understanding the determinants of your present health condition.
Personalized Coaching Session (1 hour): Leveraging insights from our initial session, I furnish you with customized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, aligning perfectly with your requirements, thereby paving the way for a successful journey to enhanced health.
I invite you to team up with me in your pursuit of holistic health and wellness. Together, we will embark on a rewarding journey to rediscover the finest version of you. Remember, your transformation begins here. Let's foster a future brimming with holistic health and wellness, one personalized step at a time.
