What is Natural Health Counseling?            

 Natural Health Counseling is a down to earth, common sense approach t0wards educating, supporting and inspiring you to transform your old eating & lifestyle habits into easy to apply, dramatic improvements in your health physically, mentally & emotionally.

By combining holistic nutrition & health education, wellness coaching, and stress management techniques you can tranform your habits and gain the ability to improve every area of your life with the support and assistance of an experienced coach and get results as fast as you want!

Most coaching conviently takes place over the telephone, which allows you the freedom of improving your health, without creating the added stress of having to drive to an appointment amidst your already busy schedule. 

Twice a month for an hour (or each week if you prefer) you get all attention focused on you & your unique health concerns from someone who carefully listens to everything you are saying and is qualitfied to help. She will develop a simple action plan with you to crowd out your old, destructive habits and create lifestyle and eating habits that are empowering, delicious and fun. You will discover new foods, activities and may find parts of your personality you never let shine before!

As you uncover what nourishes you best in all areas of your life- from your food to your relationships and lifestyle, you begin to take control of your life and start directing your course, rather than feeling as if you are a victim in it.

  • Discover the healthiest, most delicious foods
  • Reduce feelings of depression
  • Decrease anxiety and irritability

Have you ever considered the nutritional value of a hug? 

What about the nourishing value of your thoughts? We think over 60,000 thought ever day either consciously or subconsciously, and most of the time they are the same thoughts repeated over and over and over. Our thoughts create our actions. Our actions create our reality. What do you want your reality to be?

The nourishment we receive from foods, both on and off our plates, integrates itself very clearly into every area of our lives. Whether it's a healthy thought process, healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity or a satisfying spiritual practice, these essential forms of nourishment are all integrated with, and begin to take shape, simply by changing & improving the quality of your foods. In fact, one meal has the ability to change your entire chemistry. Which can create new thoughts and inspire new actions..... 

We are all different

I believe each of us is as unique as our fingerprint, so what nourishes us from our foods to our physical exercise to our spirituality and relationships should be just as individual & unique. I adhere to the theory of bio-individuality which is the theory that each person has their own personal nutritional needs. 

What 's one person’s food can be another person’s poison

So, when nutrition experts say, “dairy is good for you” or “fat is unhealthy,” it’s too much of a generalization. We need to understand the messages our body is sending us and start to listen. Your body has always known what's best to create balance, why is it that our brain thinks it know better? 

When we take responsibility for our own health and well being, we gain an insight into ourselves that empowers us to really know what's right for us in every situation.

 Be a success story!

When we are given the personal keys to take charge of our own health, and given the tools necessary to make those changes a reality, wonderful things begin to happen.  

As adults we are capable of making our own decisions. Even children know what feels good and bad. As  we work together, you'll re-learn how to listen to your instincts,  control your cravings, balance your mood swings and create a better relationship with your food.
 
What Nourishes You?
Does your food leave you feeling deeply nourished & satisfied or does it just feed you and leave you feeling somethings missing? 
 
 
 
Here's what some clients have to say:
 
"Dina’s program is great.  It seems to be the best, most unconventional, health program out there.  Where most diet plans work to get people to follow their rules and oppressive regimen, Dr. Dina Hansen’s program works to help change people’s outlook toward mindless eating and to help them listen to what their body is telling them. Becoming self aware is paramount to a proper life balance. The theory is that everyone’s body tells them what it needs at any particular time and it’s not always food. 
 
With Dina’s help I’ve learned how to listen to my body and give it, not what it craves, but what it needs. 
This is not dieting.  It is a holistic way to view your own life and achieve the balance that everyone needs in order to treat their body as the temple that it is. I will not go into specifics as that will do this program a grave injustice.  What worked for me may not work for everyone as everyone is different. 
 
However, the best thing about her method is that we all should recognize that this road to success is not part of a “one size fits all” approach but that everyone’s journey is as different as a fingerprint or a snowflake.
 
I recommend Dr. Dina Hansen’s program to anyone who is looking to bring balance and self awareness into their life."

"We all have times of great difficulty. It is during those times that we must rely on our core strength and the love of friends and family. Recently, when my Dad was very ill and then passed away, I had an additional gift. All the work that I had done with Dina was so helpful to get me through that difficult time. Sometimes I needed all my strength just to get me through the day.
Working with Dina I learned to appreciate small victories and small changes as both of them lead to big victories and big changes. But during difficult times, sometimes all you get is the small victory and that makes a world of difference.
