Holistic health coach Jeanette Tiomkin, owner of Discover Your Healing Path, considers it her life’s mission “to coach people to better health utilizing a holistic approach.” Her clients’ health needs vary but seem to often include those with digestive issues and those seeking help with weight loss. In addition to coaching, Tiomkin also offers guided cleanses and gravity-based colon hydrotherapy
Tiomkin is both an optimist and a realist. She understands it is hard for anyone to be 100 percent raw or 100 percent vegan or, for that matter, 100 percent anything, especially for those newly starting-out health seekers. “Life doesn’t work that way,” Tiomkin says. Yet, she still talks to her clients about the benefits of eating organic, whole food-based diets, detoxification and more. She educates herself on her client’s needs based on a health history questionnaire that she sends to the client to be filled out and sent back to her before their first meeting.
Health is an individual journey, and a person’s desires for health are very different. For instance, if the client’s need is to calm down an active IBS, Tiomkin may advocate for the client to utilize goat milk verses dairy or to have a salad before a heavy meal—utilizing the principal of light before heavy, raw before cooked. “It truly depends on the individual and what their symptoms are, combined with what their health questionnaire tells me,” Tiomkin explains. “There is not a one size fits all.”
The first session with Tiomkin is thorough. She not only provides the client with a roadmap, including the steps to take (both verbally and in an instruction folder), but also backs up information with studies that support why the client should follow the recommended measures to help him or her achieve optimum health. The first session is also about inspiring the client. Tiomkin herself is inspiring, having suffered her own medical issues and successfully altered the symptoms with holistic living. Tiomkin is smart and compassionate; two attributes that make her ideal for this calling. She truly desires to see every one of her clients obtain results, and she does it with warmth and is always available to provide support.
In addition to holding a holistic undergraduate degree, Tiomkin is also AADP drugless practitioner certified; certified with Natalia Rose as a detox counselor; has a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition; and is certified in colon hydrotherapy. “I am an expert from chew to poo,” Tiomkin says with a laugh.
