skinspot’s skin has changed yet again. For those of you who don’t know I own a mini spa (skinspot) in Portland, OR.  Up until recently skinspot has focused primarily on the outside by offering only facials, peels and skin care products.  However, things at da ‘spot are a changin’.  In addition to the customized facials, peels and home care routines, skinspot now offers health coaching services, wellness workshops and grocery store tours.  Hot dog!  It is becoming a full out mission at skinspot to bring the best version of a person forward and this mission often involves tackling both the inside and the outside.

what does one obtain from health coaching?

• youthful, glowing skin.
• loosening pants, shorts and maybe a dress or two
• reduction or complete eradication of cravings
• reduction or complete eradication of health related ailments
• a nourishing relationship with food.  this is not another diet
• an ever expanding confidence in yourself and what you can accomplish
• surging energy levels
• better digestion
• a better understanding of your body and why it acts the way it does
• a financial savings. it’s amazing that when your waist line starts shrinking your pocket book starts expanding
• the ability to motivate others
• an overall better quality of life. need i say more…

If you are thinking that one, or all, of these nuggets might be something you want for your life, I encourage you to schedule a free 20 minute find-comfort-in-your-own-skin strategy session with yours truly.  In this session we figure out if we are good fit for one another and what your road map to success will look like.  Please do not fear if you do not live in the Portland area.  Health coaching can be done no matter your locale via telephone, email and Skype.  God bless technology.

If you are still not sure about this whole health coaching stuff, I encourage you to stop by this page to learn a wee bit more about what I do, my approach and my story.  I do this for a living because I have been overweight, unmotivated, depressed and I have battled acne more than my fair share.  I found solutions that work and I want to share them.  Plain and simple: I want to help.  My passion for this stuff comes from a place of extreme empathy.  I have been there and I am now here.  I like here better.

In somewhat unrelated news:  I discovered limeade

these delights have found their way into my smoothies and i am so glad they did.  they make the smoothie somewhat tart, which i am having a hay day over.  the smoothie i made today post workout included:

• 8oz limeade
• 1/2 pink lady apple
• 1/4 frozen banana
• 2-3c kale (de-stemmed)
• 2t detox powder
• 4oz coconut water

Ta-da

This guy was just what the doctor ordered after my workout and sweat session in the sauna.  He was also consumed with a handful of honey, sesame almonds and 1/4 of a chicken burger left over from last night.  Super random, but it totally hit the spot.

And with that, I am signing off.  Remember to check out skinspot’s new skin.  Do it!!!  I kid.  Sorta.
