Her own wellness journey led her to getting a Master’s Degree in Health and Wellness Coaching from Creighton University.

During her Master’s program she realized that her obsession with tracking, weight and doing everything “right” was escalating and she knew something had to change.

She couldn’t coach clients as she struggled with her own disordered eating. She discovered Intuitive Eating as a way to improve her relationship with food and her body and now leads other women on the same journey.

For many the first step is getting off the diet rollercoaster…

In this episode I’m chatting with certified Movement Coach & Rehab Specialist and National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Jacqueline Gikow.

What exactly is Movement Coaching?

It’s fitness training geared to help you move better, get stronger, and prevent re-injury. It helps you stay active so you can do more – play, travel, and work with more energy.
