I help clients become healthier by focusing on their own “Star of Health,” a concept that guides us through the different areas of life that need to be supported–diet, sleep, movement, pleasure & relaxation, and relationships–in order to manage stress (physical, mental and/or emotional). This allows the client achieve his or her health goals of balancing weight, binge eating, hormones, strengthen their immune system, and/or improve relationship with food and body, and live a more rewarding life. I combine the tools from IPE with what I’ve leaned during my almost 20 years of experience in the Nutrition, Food and Health fields. I am a Certified Holistic Health Coach from IIN, I hold a Master’s Degree in Food Studies from NYU, a Nutrition and Food Science Degree from Universidad Iberoamericana (in my native Mexico City) and I am a professionally trained chef and cookbook author.

Love Like a Mother

Aliaa Abdel Moneim is a Physician who has also earned a PhD in Nutrition & Public Health from Alexandria University, Egypt. In addition, she is a Certified Mind Body Eating Coach from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating in Colorado, USA.

Aliaa has been following patients with obesity and metabolic related diseases for 15 years. Her professional insight of obesity is to go deep beyond the weight loss and dieting issue. Diving in to the psychology of eating with patients and searching in different hidden areas that might be an obstacle of weight loss. Her areas of expertise including resistible weight loss, diabetes, chronic kidney diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, chronic fatigue, and other metabolic ailments in adult patients.

Currently, she is working in private clinic, providing personal consultations.

She is married and a mother of 3 adolescents. She is a big fan of yoga, body stretching and strength training. She likes music and reading.

As cliché as it sounds, I can wholeheartedly say that helping people overcome obstacles is my passion! After myself combating physical and mental challenges in my teens, I never want to see another soul go through that kind of suffering. I witnessed first-hand how dark, mentally exhausting, and simply hopeless one’s life can become as a result of unaddressed issues stemming from food, body image, childhood experiences, close relationships, self-hate, etc. Having this understanding and being able to relate to many, distinguishes me from other practitioners. I teach people to let go of perfection, as it is a false ideal. The true, the real, the beautiful, and the authentic are imperfect. I am an empathetic, compassionate, wise, supportive, driven and imperfect young woman. As not only a Certified Mind Body Eating Coach but a Certified Mind Body Green Functional Nutrition Coach, I fully transform and heal the lives of everyone I work with.

Imperfectly Perfect

After having dedicated myself as a Mental Health Practitioner for over 14 years, I decided to study and develop the skills needed to earn my Certification as Mind Body Soul/Eating Psychology Coach with the Institute of the Psychology of Eating (IPE).

My individualized focus, sensitive listening and questioning abilities, values, stengths-based approach and intentional resolution driven style has afforded me many opportunities to cultivate bonds with those I consider to be partners, rather than clients.

I have experience supporting the therapeutic growth of individuals, groups and families.

My compassionate, empathetic and intuitive nature has inspired my potent source of enthusiasm, confidence, motivation and ambition; and moved me to employ creative strategies to induce engagement in self-care practices while consciously working toward obtaining favorable outcomes.

I look forward to learning from partners!

My name is Alua. I was educated in the Eating Psychology training in 2012. I consult my clients on Body Image and Nutrition. Almost everyday I see the clients who starve themselves with protein cocktails or restrict their diet to one meal a day, people who hate and are afraid of their appetites for months or even years. And still they cannot reach their goals of weight loss and “beautiful” body. I help them to understand their bodies, to appreciate their appetites, to correct their diets and learn how to eat and enjoy their food again. I love to see people relaxing and letting go of the control and stress around food and body, and finally getting the results of reaching the desired goals.

After working 9 years in television and film industry as a Visual Effects and Graphics Artist, my personal health challenges led me into research to study Mind-Body Nutrition and dive in into deep, inner psychological healing work. I was eager to learn everything about how I can support my body and life force for a long term on my life journey – not just with food, but also how to process and digest the life itself and the challenges that arise with it. Currently, as a certified Eating Psychology Coach I am excited for the opportunity to be able to share the wisdom that I have learned through this program as well as to bring in the wisdom of my personal healing journey to help women and men to overcome their eating and health challenges, connect back with their souls, fully embodying their life experiences, and embracing their sexuality.

My name is Amanda Elise Love and I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (graduate of The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition) and Eating Psychology Coach. I have created a safe place for those who are struggling with fibromyalgia and other health issues.

Are you seeking freedom with food and body? Has binging and restricting taken you on an emotional roller-coaster ride, along with the obsessive struggle to control your weight? I was there for 35 years. When I found food freedom, it became my passion to support anyone seeking the same. Food and body freedom is only a breath away. If I can get my freedom back in 8 weeks, so can you. When your freedom returns, you get your energy and power back. You are then free to live your life with true purpose.

I feel very passionate about the process of healing and in my own personal journey, I was able to overcome a food addiction and eating disorder that was taking over my entire life. I took charge and managed to make changes I never would have thought possible before: I made adjustments even in my marital status. I now have a healthier outlook on life.

Hi, I used to be a Business Coach, helping clients to have an “healthy” Business, but I noticed that their personal life was generally not “healthy”. I have also personally experimented with all diets and fitness plans, have been a binge eater, have had to deal with anorexia, and had to live with auto-immune health issues for 3 long years! That’s when I really decided that I was gonna change my entire life. Psychology of eating is one of the steps I took to finally find balance in my life… And now, I can teach you how to do it for yourself!! Find Balance and Reach your Goals!

I struggled with weight, body image and eating issues for most of my life. In my practice, I combine eating psychology with NLP, EFT tapping and spirituality to help women overcome their issues with body, weight and eating so that they can live a life of freedom and pleasure.

I was a very thin and athletic child, but began to struggle with my weight as an adolescent. Obesity runs in my family, and dieting was a constant topic of discussion in my house. My inability to stick to one was a never-ending source of conflict and despair, and I soon developed a love-hate relationship with food. Extreme dieting and restriction (and subsequent binging) was the norm, and this cycle of indulgence and deprivation was a pervasive force in my food life for years. Despite these efforts, I graduated college at 5’1 and 170 pounds. I have devoted much of my life to understanding the psychophysiology of how digestion, assimilation, calorie burning and all the nutritive functions of the body are impacted by things like stress, relaxation, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, pleasure, our personal story and more than just what we put in our bodies.
I have maintained an approximate 70-pound weight loss for over 20 years, and enjoy a clean-eating and food-loving life without guilt or fear, and would love to help you discover how you can do the same!

As a Massage Therapist and Mind Body Eating Coach I am passionate about supporting people on their wellness journey.
Over the last 8 years through my practice and personal experience I have seen the impact life stressors can have on the body and the mind. This has led to an avid interest in nutrition, food and life style factors and how the choices we make impact on our health and wellbeing.

I am particularly interested in why we continue to make choices we know don’t serve us and how increasing awareness and recognising patterns of behaviour can have a powerful impact on the ability to make long term positive changes.
I enjoy working holistically with clients to enhance their
body awareness and explore their unique story to help them achieve their individual goals.

Hi, I’m Amy!

Why did I choose a career in Alternative Health Care?
Being a wife and active mom in my late 30’s, I had an experience where my health was crashing. I needed help to become nourished, energetic, and whole again. Taking an all-natural approach to overcome food challenges, extra weight, fatigue, anxiety, and depression, I truly stepped into a new world. I enjoyed learning, and more-so becoming whole. As the years have progressed, my passion for alternative healthcare and self-care continues to grow, I feel energetic, am grateful to be alive, have a more positive body image and have reached a sustainable weight that I feel good about are some of the many results from those earlier challenges!

What is the Coaching that I do?
As a Mind Body Eating Coach, I’ve learned how to effectively address weight concerns individually, help to curve and overcome binge eating, overeating, addressing body image beliefs, helping with various nutritional related health concerns and underlying deeper issues which impact a person’s health, body, and mind. My approach is positive and empowering. I don’t see someone’s eating challenges as a sign that something is wrong with them, but as a place where we can more fully explore some of the personal dimensions in life that impact food, weight, and health. By working on the places that are most relevant for the client, success is more easily achieved.
I’d like very much to help you get to where YOU want to go! It’s your life and your choice to let the healing begin. Call Helping Hands to set up a first session appointment!

I am a certified holistic health coach trained at IPE and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition who works with clients to achieve optimal health and total wellness through healthful, mindful eating, physical activity and overall personal growth. I guide clients to understand how emotions impact eating and food choices, and support them in acquiring the tools to make lasting lifestyle changes that can result in increased energy, improved digestion and weight management.

I’m an Osteopathic Physician who practiced Family Medicine for 8 years before devoting all my energy to Lifestyle Medicine, Health Coaching, and Functional Medicine. I have always had a passion for truly supportive healthcare, nutrition, and fitness. I co-founded Nourish IP, a soulful weight loss clinic, where I serve as Medical Director, and am currently getting certified in Functional Medicine. As an intuitive healer and holistic medicine practitioner, I enjoy being able to bridge the gap between western medicine and alternative healing modalities. I love empowering patients to understand their bodies and discover the gentle power of deep healing.

Personally, I find my joy and balance in outdoor play with my family, cooking, travel, practicing yoga and meditation, and biking, hiking and paddle boarding with my dog Finley. I am involved in sacred women’s circles, two local spiritual communities and women’s retreats all over the world.

I currently own a Wellness Center in Bloomfield Hills, MI. I see a lot of clients who are in pain physically, who come in for massage and deep tissue laser therapy. I am expanding my practice to include nutrition coaching, as it seems that the majority of my clients have digestion challenges of some kind. My goal is to work together to explore these challenges and to see if some of the pain in the body can be eliminated with tweaks in the diet. I am excited to incorporate energy medicine techniques in assisting the body in the digestion process. I also explore the mind/emotion/spirit component of the challenge that is often overlooked. Stress plays a huge role in our lives and I have tools and techniques for easing the trauma it plays in our bodies.
