Body & Mind
YOUR HEALTH IS KEY
Janet Shook is here to guide you on your journey and make sure you are always working towards a healthier body and mind You are a Health Coach and a Wellness Consultant, can you tell us what that means? Absolutely. I like to say I am part Personal Trainer, part Nutritionist and part Life Coach - I work as a team with my client to make lifestyle adjustments for total wellbeing. When I work as a Wellness Consultant, It is with companies, such as hotels or events organizations where I help create programs for wellness- from menus to new treatments to organizing retreats, etc… What made you choose this as a profession? When I was in my 20’s I treated my own chronic health problems with diet, exercise and mindfulness. From then on, I became a believer and wanted to know as much as I could in order to help myself and others. You are also a Yoga instructor, do you always involve Yoga in your programs? I love introducing people to Yoga, but It is not a requisite. There are lots of options for exercise, so we find what is the right fit for the person. Do you feel that you have a specialty in any specific area of health? Weight loss, decreasing body pain and inflammation, improving skin health and reducing anxiety. Often when I help a person with one area of their life, it effects many others, like a happy domino effect! This is amazing to watch happen. Really gratifying. What kind of programs do you offer? I offer a 6-month personalized program for anyone looking for real lifestyle and health transformation. But I
