Christian Holistic Health Emphasis
Our practice can provide a faith-based nutrition counseling approach to clients voicing faith as a value of theirs. We respect each individual client and will not provide this service for clients uninterested in bringing the topic of faith into sessions. For those interested in this approach, clients will learn what scripture says about food, body, worth and identity and will discuss these topics from a spiritual lens.
As believers, we are called to be holy and set apart for the services of God. Yet in the area of body image concerns we are just as dissatisfied as the rest of the world and looking to the next diet or weight loss plan to give us a sense of value.
With a faith-based approach to nutrition counseling, clients will learn what it looks like to view disordered eating and body dysmorphia (obsessive focus on a perceived flaw in appearance) as a form of spiritual warfare as well as gain scriptural tools for battling these issues.
Clients will also learn how the pursuit of health, though good, if made ultimate, can become a form of modern day idolatry. They will learn what scripture has to say about stewarding our bodies well while not placing our worth and identity in such things.
