Weight Management

Healthy Lifestyle/Weight Management Program

The focus of this program is on developing and re-enforcing healthy lifestyle habits by listening to and respecting one’s body + spirit. Health is the major priority. Weight reduction is a secondary benefit. Participants are empowered to take control of their health outcomes, through individualized / customized support and coaching in the context of ‘person centred’ care. This program offers a comprehensive and multi-pronged approach to the challenge of obesity, based on evidenced techniques and methods. Education, support, accountability and health care tools are offered in the context of a multi-disciplinary team. This is not a “dieting” program.

The First Step Program offers 3 Components:

Applicants must be ready to make changes. Application does not guarantee entry into the program but every referred patient receives the benefit of an Individualized Assessment with goal setting and subsequent tips/ suggestions for pursuing their health goals. This program is led and facilitated by a professionally trained counsellor with over 20 years experience in weight management, group facilitation, and person centred therapy.
