OUR PROGRAM

 

Bridging the Gap provides nuanced content, context, and education around the history, culture, and current discourse in the health, wellness, and fitness industries.


Comprehensive Coaching is the applied framework for a conscientious approach which facilitates changes in a client’s internal environment to empower them to confidently, independently, and intentionally respond to external challenges with beneficial adaptations in order to flourish.

MISSION

​

  • Individuals possess innate worth and the capacity to change.

  • Individuals have a right to make informed choices about their dietary and physical activity habits.

  • Effective coaching relationships require mutual trust, understanding, collaboration, and empathy.
