Meet our January graduate, Meghan VanAuken, a certified AFPA Health Coach
How did you develop a passion for health and dedication?
Health is a lifelong journey, and my own healthy journey has increased my commitment to health and wellness. When I was younger, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, acid reflux, and anxiety. I was taking notes and following the doctorโs instructions but I was not happy. Also, at the time, I was in a very difficult situation, and my eating became unhealthy. I later admitted myself to a hospital to abstain from Restricted Disease to get help. I was confused, scared, and confused without knowing what was going on in my body and why.
I knew I had to deepen and not just the illness I was suffering from. Everything mixes things up and is related but is treated differently. I wish you a long and healthy life. I decided to seek education so that I could understand and know the source of my disease and be safe in my hands. The perfect storm taught me the relationship of mind, body, and life.
Which certificate did you choose, and why did you choose AFPA?
I chose the Health Certificates because it all included our lifestyle and nutrition, our daily habits, and our daily diet. Holistic Health Education allows me to educate and encourage clients to develop, long-term, healthy, energetic and create unique health plans that are relevant to everyone in all aspects of their lives while taking a holistic approach to modern medicine. . This is my goal as a trainer โ to give customers the opportunity to think about taking care of themselves in a way that they probably never thought possible. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves while being given the right tools. AFPA provided me with the tools to achieve this. I believe a lot of people don’t understand how they should feel and can feel, that we fit this lack of feeling because it’s “good.” Everyone deserves a beautiful and energetic life. Now I can support people to achieve their goals.
How was your work before your paperwork was received?
Before getting the certificate I was working 9-5 at the office desk in a corner.
How is your work now?
Now with my work, I connect with new people, communicate, guide, and connect with people in the hours I have created for myself! I also host a website, I teach about health and wellness, and I talk to local companies and their employees, I am presenters.
What are your favorite parts of your job?
My hobbies in my work connect with people and I encourage them to be healthy and fit; it enlightens me! I want to learn more about each individual individual and work with them, for them and for relevant, more relevant needs.
How does having confidence with AFPA affect your life?
Being an AFPA certificate has opened many doors for me. I started an online coaching business, which has always been my dream. This program taught me to implement these strategies myself first, and now I am able to influence and influence others around me. It makes my heart smile knowing AFPA has given me this opportunity to share.
Do you have any success stories of clients you would like to share?
I have a client who wants to hear more ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ป๐ฆ๐ฅ, ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ, ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ededed. She is a food-loving woman who suffers from imbalances in her body, gain weight in the middle, feels very weak, and suffers from insomnia. WasT was frustrated that she was only told to go for a hamburger because it would give her more energy, and she didn’t want to be in a panic, in the future. I helped her with the full range of options that suited her. I am so excited to see how much more energy she gets, a good nightโs sleep, weight loss and body swelling, and to see her skin clear! HeTa continues to live a healthy life with her health in her hands from the services and tools we have put into her life.
What advice would you give to others who are considering becoming a certificate holder?
The best advice is to know that you are a student in your body, and you will always be. You are a great witness! Know your purpose, be calm to realize that everyoneโs path is different, and be a guiding light by leading by example every day.
