​Q: What is the UNSTUCK Method?

​

It is a combination of testing and holistic treatment recommendations for health issues and sleep. The method uses a combination of functional medicine (working with the underlying cause),  lab testing (as needed for specific information), pattern recognition of clients' strengths and weak spots (from years of experience), holistic health (treating the body as a whole), energy medicine using acupressure points and other methods (for reducing stress), exercise, and nutritional coaching. The UNSTUCK Method is unique, incorporating my 35+ years of experience in helping thousands of clients, researching to understand the big health picture, connecting the dots, and years of studying at conferences with holistic medical experts. 

​

Q: How do you find the root cause of health or sleep issues?

​

Client history, interviews, questionnaires, and lab tests help identify the root cause of the problem. With my 35+ years of experience working with clients (skills in pattern recognition), I connect the dots and the big picture is revealed. Recommendations are very specific for the individual. Anyone can read sleep books, there are scores of them, but the Unstuck method focuses right away on what will help the individual, without delay.

​

Q: How long does it take to see a change?

​

Some clients, for example, have results after one session when they fall quickly asleep after many years of suffering. Most clients see some change within a few weeks. Chronic health and sleep issues may take longer, depending on the established patterns and their duration. When you can focus on the underlying cause, it's much quicker than doing many lab tests and then doing trial-and-error solutions.

 

We usually start off with 2 follow-up sessions with recommendations, 2 weeks apart, with tracking to see how you progress during that time. A longer program may be recommended, but may not be needed, depending on the chronicity. The approach varies for everyone and is tailored to your needs.

​

Q: Do you give home recommendations between sessions for health and sleep issues?

​

Yes. "Homework" between sessions helps to speed up the healing process. Most of the time, health or sleep issues have been there for a long time. The longer they are present, the more important it is to do the home recommendations to change unhealthy patterns. Paid consultation fees include recommendations for homework.

​

The homework may include recommendations for lifestyle changes, supplements, nutritional coaching, or a referral for a specific treatment. Health symptoms such as digestive problems, hormone imbalance, high cholesterol, headaches, fatigue, joint pain, etc., may be a signal for something deeper. The Unstuck method looks at the body holistically to find and solve the root cause of the symptoms.

​

Q: What unhealthy patterns relate to health and sleep?

​

Some unhealthy patterns (that started long ago) block your ability to make good decisions, block the healing process, keep you stuck with your health or life, and block energy flow in the body. These patterns can be changed.

 

Repetitive thoughts from worries  (rumination) can keep you stuck or awake at night. The goal is to become UNSTUCK and resilient. You do not have to reveal deep emotions or personal history during any session. This method is not trauma treatment, but the methods helps to release the deep-rooted emotional or physical stresses, and decrease rumination at bedtime.

​

Q: How are the unhealthy patterns cleared?

​

Gaining increased awareness of these patterns can help change emotional, health, and sleep patterns. Practicing specific daily homework and recommended activities helps to clear the patterns further.

​

Q: How do I know if I’m improving if my symptoms do not change right away?

​

A proprietary scoring system is used to test at the beginning of treatment and improvement can be tracked. Symptom relief may happen gradually and improve over time. The program does involve some discipline to do the homework daily. Clients who follow the program see the quickest results. Developing discipline may be part of changing the patterns. 

​

Q: What kind of health issues do you evaluate and interpret with personal coaching?

Throughout my 30+ years of working as a nutritionist and doctor, I coached people with all kinds of health issues. I specialized chronic health issues and Lyme coaching. Currently, I support clients with many different health and sleep issues. 

​

Q: What is the cost?

​

A: Fees are based on the time and complexity of the health issues. During the 20-minute free consultation, all fees will be discussed for your personal situation.
