Meet Kevin
Background
Growing up, I've always had a deep interest in health and wellness. From my active involvement in martial arts to what I believed was a healthy diet, I felt like I was on the right track. However, life had other plans. Out of the blue, I was hit with an autoimmune disease that seemed mild, followed closely by another that turned my world upside down. As if that weren't enough, I was then challenged with a rare and little-known condition called Burning Mouth Syndrome.
Desperate for answers and relief, I turned to the conventional healthcare system, only to find that the solutions offered were superficial – pharmaceutical drugs that merely masked the symptoms. It was a pivotal moment when I realized that my most precious asset was my health. Fueled by an inner resolve and a profound "why," I embarked on a journey to uncover the answers and results I so desperately sought. I delved into the realms of Functional, Naturopathic, Integrative, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
​
Through relentless research, continuous learning, and determination, I achieved something remarkable – remission from my autoimmune diseases. The knowledge and skills I acquired not only brought me relief but also helped me thrive despite living with Burning Mouth Syndrome. My conviction remains unshaken: one day, I will unearth the root cause of my Burning Mouth Syndrome and resolve it.
Why Health Coaching?
The decision to become a health coach stemmed from a profound realization that my health journey and acquired wisdom could be an asset for others. I firmly believe that our unique biology and personal histories are pivotal aspects to explore within the context of a supportive relationship. Witnessing the transformative power of behavioral change and unraveling the "why" behind the desire for change has become my mission.
​
I genuinely hold the belief that change is not only possible but within reach. With an unwavering commitment to collaborating with others, I'm dedicated to uncovering core issues, dismantling barriers, nurturing strengths, and helping individuals discover both their inner reservoirs and external support systems.
Personal Passions
Beyond my passion for health, I'm a nature enthusiast and an avid traveler. My free time often finds me hiking and exploring the beauty of National Parks. The power of the great outdoors rejuvenates and revitalizes my body and soul. I'm also deeply involved in the unique sport of curling, which you might have seen in the Winter Olympics, with its athletes gracefully sweeping in front of a stone gliding down a sheet of ice. I compete at a semi-professional level and find joy in this spirited pursuit.
