“The deep, intentional work that I have been doing with Cathy over the past four months has been incredibly meaningful and valuable. During each session, Cathy has been wonderfully present, remarkably prepared, and exceedingly supportive. Significant shifts have occurred in my life as a result of the time, sincere warmth and care, and attention that Cathy has wholeheartedly dedicated to my healing and personal and professional growth processes.”
COACHING APPROACH
As an integrative health and wellness coach, I use a holistic approach to help clients achieve optimal wellness.
This whole person approach allows clients to examine all aspects of their life that contribute to health.
Health is not just about what you eat. Superior wellness encompasses a myriad of elements that comprise our lives.
The cornerstones of wellness are:
+nourishing relationships
+nourishing exercise
+nourishing life’s work
+nourishing spiritual path
Other areas that are examined during client visits include sleep habits, relaxation techniques, creative expression, environmental toxins and other areas of life that we don’t often realize largely effect our quality of health.

MEET CATHY BAKKER
Cathy Bakker is a IIN Certified Health Coach specializing in supporting clients that wish to resolve health issues and enhance their overall wellness. I began my work in the health and wellness field after losing myself in a true fight for me and my daughter’s life. After years of painful struggling to identify a grappling illness that devastated me and my daughter, I decided to take control and discover the path to healing through my own wellness journey. By identifying my calling, I was able to find the right solution to health and wellness for me and my daughter. I use my personal experience, training, knowledge and intuition to help clients save their own lives and live their very best life.
How does Cathy work with her clients? By identifying my clients best life unlived and pinpointing personal road blocks that stand in the way of this, I help my clients to discover the areas of life that need attention. My work is less about food and more about allowing people to find who they’re meant to be. By inquiring with high mileage questions, I provide customized tools and strategies to help clients define their goals and meet them. I help my clients to identify and leverage their strengths and intuition to achieve their goals, target and remove the blocks to joyful life experiences. I encourage clients to pay close attention to their inner voice. By peeling back the intricate layers, I work with clients to identify the root cause of their issues and the results are life-changing. My work guides clients to examine how their thoughts and beliefs about themselves affect their well being and in turn, I support them in looking at themselves in a new way and help them to find the answers they need to live better lives.
During this coaching process, my clients discover things about themselves they didn't know. Whether it be weight loss, improved sleep, overcoming challenging feelings, situations, relationships or some other area of their life they want to nourish, I hold a non-judgemental space and provide a targeted health plan for clients to discover their best selves and rise into their fully nourished spirits.
Holistic health and wellness coaching is for you if you are flexible, curious, and open to new concepts, ideas and information— ready to make positive change and committed to your well being!
