We believe weight loss is rarely as simple as a basic caloric equation. Underlying factors, either emotional or physical, or both, often play a significant part. It's not easy balancing everything that gets thrown at us in our hectic lives. Stresses build up, we're short on time, convenience foods are 'convenient' (and even addictive), our diets become nutritionally deficient, our bodies become out of balance, the weight goes on, energy levels tumble, and we can easily start on a downward spiral that we somehow just can't break out of. Sound familiar?

Vitalchi offers you two very effective treatments for weight loss - life coaching, nutrition and naturopathy. While these two options are quite different processes, they share the common approach of looking for the underlying factors that may be blocking you from losing weight.

Life Coaching. is a remarkable technique that looks into your subconscious mind to find mental barriers that are limiting you. These might include issues related to self confidence, motivation, fear of failure (or of success), self sabotage, cravings, or other reasons.

Naturopathy takes a comprehensive scientific evaluation of physical and emotional factors that may be impacting on your weight loss. Anything from hormone imbalances, or sleep or thyroid problems, to stress, fatty liver or dietary make-up could be at play. By taking a detailed case history and proper diagnostic tests we can find and treat the cause of your weight loss blocks.

Naturopathy and Life Coaching both offer effective ways to help you achieve meaningful and lasting weight loss. Our treatments always focus on you as a unique individual. You have within your mind and within your body the tools and ability to achieve weight loss. Let us help you find and harness that power to get results. The first step is only an appointment away.

Vitalchi offers our famous Weight Reduction Program, which is a personalized weight reduction program run by out fully qualified nutritionist Tess and our life coach Carol. This program is designed to identify the physical and/or emotional blocks that stop weight loss being easy. In our 10 week program you will receive one on one session with Tess our nutritionist. Tess will take a comprehensive case history followed by diagnostic testing including the use of the BIA, to better help you understand how your body works and why weight loss has potentially being challenging for you in the past. From there Tess will develop an individualized program, which she will go through with you in detail including helping you to better understand why weight loss has been challenging for you up until this point. She will then prescribe any dietary changes, lifestyle tips and any nutritional supplementation you may require. Tess will mentor you along the way helping you to stay on track and adjusting the program as your weight disappears.

Carol our life coach will also work with you to help you shift your thought patterns around weight loss and to help you overcome any emotional blocks or sabotages that may prevent you from obtaining your ideal weight.

Unlike many other weight loss programs that only aim at changing one part of your life; like your fitness levels, dietary habits or the introduction of food replacement meals, Vitalchi’s weight reduction program is more about education and understanding the blocks that prevent you from being your ideal weight. By helping you to understand why you may have struggled with weight in the past you can prevent gaining weight in the future, this means NO YO YOING with your weight.

Our qualified nutritionist Tess will guide you step by step with healthy and realistic dietary changes as well as correcting any underlying conditions that make weight loss challenging. Tess will also take you on a tour of a supermarket to teach you HOW to shop healthily for you and your family.

Carol our life coach will coach you to help you overcome the emotional blocks that are holding you back from achieving our ideal weight. Fear of failure and a fear of what will happen if… are often underlying reasons we sabotage the choices we make around diet and food.

Our program works because it is made just for you, what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Our program also has a big emphasis on preventing weight gain in the future, by educating and empowering you to make the right choices now and for the rest of your healthy life to come.
