Violet Raptou | HOLISTIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS coach
MY STORY...
I was a high school French teacher for 24 years. However, nutrition has always been a passion of mine and unfortunately, I was suffering from a number health issues for many years because of the stress and overwhelm of the teaching profession.
I went to multiple health practitioners and I didn't find any relief for my ailments. So, I decided to heal myself by going to school and figuring out the answers for myself and I did! I decided to study nutrition part time, while I was working full time as a teacher, at the world's first plant based nutrition school, Healthy Mastery Institute.
I love talking about nutrition with people and educating and empowering them to make nutritionally sound choices, always based on evidence from over 50 years of nutrition science.
I understand the daily life of a teacher and I also have the nutrition background to help educators gain energy and feel great so that they can continue to do the job that they love!
MY PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH TO HEALTH COACHING
My job is to educate, encourage and empower people so that they can always feel great and have tons of energy. I base my practice on the following principles:
1. I base my recommendations on FACTS, not opinions, nutrition fads or trends.
2. It seems that in today's society, healthy eating is considered to be something that deviates from the norm. I believe that healthy eating SHOULD BE the norm for everyone.
3. I believe that anyone can make changes to their health through the proper guidance and nutrition.
4. DO NO HARM. My recommendations are based on peer-reviewed, scientific research. If I know that something will cause harm in any way, I will not recommend it. I have a responsibility to give you all the facts.
5. I believe that the body has the AMAZING ability to heal itself from chronic health conditions when given the opportunity to do so. I can teach you how to give your body that opportunity!
