Debby Dudley

Whole Wellness Counselor

Debby has been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor in a private practice since 2003. She views mental health holistically, incorporating the roles of mind, body, and spirit as key components to healthy living. Successfully initiating positive change has to begin in our thinking before it will show up in changed behavior. The process can be greatly enhanced by starting with the knowledge of how our personalities function. 

Debby’s initial meeting with you will include reviewing your personality type and how to use it to your advantage to make sustainable behavioral change. Learn more about Debby here.

 The unique east - west approach to navigating health in a modern world: 

• Yes, Yes and Yes! 
• You can create new neural pathways at any age.
• You can become an active operator of your autonomic nervous system.
• Your microbiome has a drive to  create a diverse, healthy terrain.
• Your metabolism can be reset through our specific therapeutic nutrition process in which you learn how to befriend your body!  

Explore the  unique lens of Functional nutrition:

• Just as functional medicine approaches the body from the perspective of treating the root cause of disease, functional nutrition looks at anatomy and physiology through the lens of food and nutrition.
• I teach you to use food as medicine, and show how it affects your body on a cellular level.
• When you change your diet, you change your microbiome and that can change your gene expressions. This is powerful when healing your root cause!
• As a Functional Nutrition Lifestyle Practitioner (FNLP), I use these principles for my clinical needs and scope of practice. I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
• I bridge the gap between your doctor’s diagnosis and how you live day to day.
• What happens in between your doctors' appointments cultivates healing.
• We will take a deeper dive into you, as a person, uncovering layers and asking questions like “Why is the environment in this individual perfect for this symptom or condition?”
• Once the environment is understood, it can be shifted. It can shift through food, environmental, lifestyle and behavior modifications.
• This holistic and targeted approach is where the principles of functional medicine and nutrition can assist with root cause resolution. 

What is Yoga Therapy? 

Yoga Therapy Focuses on:

• The person's entire lifestyle
• Healing through the 5 layers of the body - physical/somatic, breath, mental/intellect, personality, emotional.
• The person's values, wants and beliefs
• Creating a highly specific treatment plan that is a living practice to modify when needed
• Lots of "off the mat" work through self development, daily ritual & incorporating a growth mindset.
• The therapists' ability to understand and navigate their physical, mental or emotional health challenges
• Therapeutic movement through the lens of function over form
• Providing the ancient tools and systems to empower a person to thrive in their life, whether they have a terminal disease or not.
• Small titrations of shifting the body, mind, and heart to a more desired and authentic state of being & living.
• Being rooted in compassion, empathy, love and connection & community.
• Supporting you to cultivate Eudemonia (human flourishing) and Salutogenesis (focusing on health & well-being vs disease). This enhances the quality of your life greatly, no matter what your health diagnosis. 
• Note all Yoga Therapy and Ayuvedia tools, as well as any of the ancient eastern  wisdom I pass on to you, are not of any religious capacity. It is all based in science, nature and rooted in love.  

 A concierge approach to improving your wellbeing entails: 

• Personalized Guidance: Lifestyle behavioral coaching provides personalized guidance tailored to an individual's unique needs, goals, and challenges. From your unique plan, to support to accountability are all co-created together!

• Behavior Change Support: I'll help you identify and address barriers, establish realistic goals, and develop strategies for sustainable change unique to you. 

• Improved Well-being: A holistic focus on various dimensions of wellness, including physical activity, nutrition, stress management, sleep, mental health and emotional well-being. 

• Sustainable Lifestyle Changes: Emphasis on long-term, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Small, specific titrations of change to your mind-body are impactful. This approach prevents the yo-yo effect often associated with drastic, short-term changes.

• Enhanced Self-awareness: The power of developing self-awareness, to understand your values, motivations, and triggers. By exploring underlying beliefs and patterns, you will gain insights into your behaviors and make conscious choices aligned with your goals and values.

• Empowerment and Confidence: By fostering self-efficacy and confidence, coaching enables you to overcome challenges, make informed decisions, and navigate your wellness journey with resilience and determination.

• Accountability and Support: A personalized approach to providing encouragement, feedback, and guidance, helping clients stay on track and overcome obstacles. Regular check-ins and progress assessments foster a sense of responsibility and commitment to personal growth. 

• Positive Mindset and Resilience: Moving beyond external behaviors, you'll focus on re-training your nervous system and cultivating new neural pathways in your brain . We'll co-create coping strategies, manage stress, and shift negative thought patterns, fostering a resilient mindset.

• Improved Health Outcomes: By addressing underlying lifestyle factors, these improved shifts can contribute to long-term health improvements and chronic disease prevention.

• Long-term Support and Maintenance: I'll equip you with a life-long skill set to continue your journey independently, fostering self-sufficiency and long-term maintenance of healthy behaviors.

NOTE: With this approach, we take one small step at a time, layering healthy habit upon habit until it becomes second nature!
