WHEN IT COMES
TO NUTRITION,
YOU'VE TRIED IT ALL.
AND IT'S LEFT YOU CONFUSED AND SO. FRUSTRATED.
YOU'RE LOW ON ENERGY, FEEL "BLAH" MOST OF THE TIME, AND KNOW YOU COULD PROBABLY BE EATING MORE VEGGIES OR WHATEVER.
WELL, OK, YOU COULD BE EATING MORE OF ANYTHING REALLY
BECAUSE SOME DAYS YOU MIGHT FORGET TO EAT UNTIL SOME TIME IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND THEN YOU'RE HUNGRY SO YOU'RE SCARFING DOWN YOUR KIDS' LEFTOVERS OR THE THING AVAILABLE AT THE NEAREST DRIVE-THROUGH.
THAT DOESN'T FEEL GREAT
BUT YOU'RE AT A LOSS
FOOD IS JUST KIND OF...STRESSFUL
IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE EITHER FLYING BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS
OR TRYING TO DILIGENTLY FOLLOW A NEW ROUND OF FOOD RULES (AND, LET'S FACE IT, THIS IS PROBABLY YOUR 252ND ATTEMPT BECAUSE THESE SOLVE-ALL REGIMES NEVER REALLY SEEM TO STICK...)
YOU ALSO REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE MOM THAT DOESN'T JOIN IN ON HAVING ICECREAM WITH HER KIDS
BUT YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH SECRET FOOD SHAME AND A SIDE OF ANXIETY...
IT ALL FEELS A BIT OUT OF CONTROL.
LET'S MAKE THIS SIMPLER.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
THE FOODS YOU'RE CHOOSING ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
IT'S THE METHOD.
YOU NEED
SUSTAINABLE HABITS INSTEAD OF UNNECCESSARY RULES
MODERATION AND FLEXIBILITY RATHER THAN RESTRICTION
A PLAN THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WORK BUT JUST HAPPENS BECAUSE IT'S BUILT FOR YOUR REAL LIFE
TO HEAL YOUR MINDSET AND RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY ALL THE FOODS YOU LOVE WHILE FEELING GOOD IN YOUR BODY
"SHE HAS HELPED ME SEE WHAT MY BODY IS CAPABLE OF VERSUS JUST LOOKING AT MY SHAPE. ANNA IS AN AMAZING HUMAN AND I COULD KEEP RAVING ABOUT HER, HER SKILLSET, FACILITY, PERSONALITY...JUST KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ANNA." - Q.J. on working with Anna
SHE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE AND REAL WHEN WE WORKED ON NUTRITION, AND REALLY "GETS IT" WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT REAL LIFE IS LIKE. ...THERE WAS NEVER A TIME WHERE I FELT JUDGED. I WAS ALWAYS MET WITH KINDNESS, COMPASSION, AND A STRONG SENSE OF "YOU CAN DO IT!" - K.B. on working with Tara

PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM ATHLETICISM COACH
NUTRITION IS A TOPIC THAT HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP TO ME BY THE CLIENTS I WORK WITH. THERE IS SO MUCH OVERWHELM AND ANXIETY SURROUNDING FOOD AND IT EFFECTS SO MANY FACTORS IN MY CLIENTS LIVES: THEIR MOOD, TRAINING, LIVES AT HOME, RELATIONSHIP AND COMFORT WITH THEIR BODIES, ENERGY LEVELS...I COULD GO ON.
FOLKS WANT TO FEEL BETTER IN THEIR LIVES AND BODIES AND THEY KNOW THIS IS IMPACTED BY THEIR FOOD CHOICES AND ROUTINES. WHAT THEY AREN'T SURE ABOUT IS WHERE THEY SHOULD START, WHICH CHANGES ARE WORTHWHILE, OR HOW TO ENSURE CHANGES STICK AROUND.
I KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO CREATE A PROGRAM THAT REFLECTED BOLTE FITNESS VALUES. OUR NUTRITION OFFERING HAD TO BE INCLUSIVE, EMPATHETIC, SUSTAINABLE, AND A CONTINUATION OF WHOLE-PERSON COACHING.
THIS IS THAT PROGRAM.
I AM CONFIDENT THAT CAKE WILL GIVE YOU THE TOOLS AND MINDSET SHIFTS YOU NEED TO APPROACH FOOD DIFFERENTLY, IN A WAY THAT RESPECTS YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

I GET A LIIIIITLE PASSIONATE / INVOLVED WITH THE THINGS I CARE ABOUT AND I HAVE 4 KIDS, SO I TEND TO HAVE A LOT ON THE GO! THIS WHY I THRIVE ON SYSTEMS, SHORTCUTS, AND FINDING CREATIVE WAYS TO REACH GOALS. IF SOMETHING ISN’T WORKING, I WANT TO FIND A BETTER WAY. THIS IS WHAT LED ME TO START COACHING IN A WAY THAT’S A LITTLE OUTSIDE OF THE NORM.
SO MANY FOLKS ARE OVERWHELMED WHEN IT COMES TO NUTRITION AND ARE FOCUSED ON ALL THE WRONG DETAILS AND WAYS OF THINKING. THEY WERE MAKING THEIR LIVES WAY HARDER THAN THEY HAD TO BE. IT WAS ALSO DEEPLY FRUSTRATING TO SEE THE HARMFUL WAYS THAT TYPICAL NUTRITION PROGRAMS UPHELD OPPRESSIVE VALUES. I KNEW WE COULD CREATE SOMETHING INCLUSIVE AND BETTER.
MY FAVOURITE THING IS TO TAKE WHAT FEELS LIKE AN OVERWHELMING CHALLENGE FOR SOMEONE AND HELP THEM FIND A SOLUTION. I LOVE SHOWING THE FOLKS I WORK WITH THAT THEY CAN MAKE SMALL, MANAGEABLE CHANGES THAT WILL ADD UP TO MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES.
AND P.S. I ACTUALLY DO BAKE CAKES (I’VE EVEN MADE A FEW WEDDING CAKES) AND THERE IS NO UNIVERSE IN WHICH I WILL ACCEPT THAT CANCELING ANY TYPE OF FOOD IS A SOLUTION. YOUR SWEET TOOTH IS SAFE WITH ME!

FAQS
How does it work?
Upon purchasing, you will receive a Welcome Email that will walk you through getting set up on the Bolte Fitness app so you can start filling out your intake forms. There will be a program kick-off call where we will jump right into mindset shifts, getting to know your tendencies, and provide foundational tools.
There will be a monthly group Zoom call with education on a different habit and goal-setting (we'll teach you how to make the monthly habit-focus - or any habit for that matter - fit more easily into your life.) You'll keep yourself on track by checking-in via the app, so you can monitor your consistency and progress. There will be support available through the app's group messaging feature (and the Q and A's that happen during the monthly calls.) As well, there will be weekly self-evaluations through the app, the occasional worksheet to help you dive deeper, and actionable tasks.
What do I need to be successful in the program?
Access to the app, via your phone.
Access to Zoom and the internet.
~3 hrs in the first month as we get things going.
~1.5 - 2 hrs for every subsequent month.

The initial call will be 90 minutes with the remainder being 60 minutes each.
