Lorraine consults with women who are faced with life-weight challenges and helps them to identify and overcome obstacles which may be holding them back from their desired success. In addition she offers workshops where clients are encouraged to discover and develop personal strengths and resources. Clients leave the workshops inspired and confident and with important skills and coping tools to manage their weight more effectively. While conventional weight-loss programs focus on the physical aspects of weight-loss such as nutrition and exercise, Lorraine’s coaching focus on enhancing the emotional, cognitive and spiritual needs of her clients. Her coaching philosophy is based on the understanding that the physical body is not separate from mind heart and spirit. It is a philosophy which encourages self-acceptance and self-love as prerequisite for change.
“The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.......Throughout history, ‘tender loving care” has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing” ~ Dr. Larry Dossey: medical doctor and author.
