Health Coaching

Prior to my introductory session with Core Connection Lifestyle, I’d expected to gain a basic recommendation for enhancing my diet. I figured that the main challenge during the session would be gaining guidance on how to transform my not-so-healthy dietary habits while maintaining my hectic schedule and lifestyle.

It was refreshing to receive a short, preliminary questionnaire from Takeyah that accurately addressed core issues/challenges that busy women face regarding healthy practices. The questions were expertly worded and effectively drew out just the right answers to reflect my unique challenges. Takeyah tailored the session to expand on the areas I highlighted on the questionnaire and quickly identified the key points for improvement.

The most wonderful thing was the warm and encouraging nature of the exchange. It was an integrated approach that allowed me to be an active participant in creating a healthier lifestyle for myself. Since then, I’ve seen marked improvement and increased energy by using the all natural juice recipes Takeyah suggested. Her suggestions were custom-made to meet me where I was in the process. I already had the tools and Core Connection showed me exactly how to use them.

I really enjoyed how patient and thoughtful Takeyah was during our conversation. She really took her time to get to know me, asking questions about aspects of my life related to my physical, emotional and spiritual health. I particularly loved that she was willing to offer me suggestions of lifestyle changes I could make even in our first conversation. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Thank you for working with me over the past few months to help get my lifestyle back on track. I like that you are a good listener and that you encourage and make suggestions with no judgments. You’re like a compass, guiding but not leading. I feel much more in control of my eating, having de-cluttered my diet, I find that action of getting rid of things that do not serve me is spilling over into other ares of my life: releasing junk from my closets and basements and from my relationships.

Yoga

I had not taken yoga or participated in any body movement for quite some time … I found your teaching style to be gentle, informative and accommodating for all levels and the selection of music was characteristic of your funky style.

In your class, I feel like you keep it at a level where beginners are comfortable trying poses that are new to them but don’t feel like they’re “not doing it right” if their particular expression doesn’t look like someone who’s been practicing longer. You take the time to explain and demonstrate poses and use both the Sanskrit and the English names so that people can learn both. The atmosphere of the class welcoming and the pace is easy to keep up with after a long day at work.
