Hello! I’m Lynne

Eating Psychology Coach / Mind Body Nutrition Coach / Specializing in Functional Nutrition

Hello I’m Lynne Bowsher and I am a Certified Mind Body Nutrition Coach who specializes in Functional Nutrition. I work with women who are struggling with stress, fatigue and looking for more purpose in their life.

I am a wife, mother and owner of a yoga studio in Lake Country, British Columbia, Canada. In my 30’s I personally struggled with stress, burn out, extreme fatigue and was feeling depleted inside. I knew something was wrong with my health and that something was missing in my life.

Thus began my own personal journey towards health, wellness and purpose. In my 40’s I chose a holistic approach and was intuitively led on a new path of growth, learning and healing.

I became fascinated with the body and mind and took courses in Nutrition, Holistic Health, Reiki, Reflexology, Acupressure, Massage, Touch for Health, and so much more. . . My health began to improve as did my relationship to my body and my connection to my mind.

At the age of 42 I discovered the transformational gift of Iyengar Yoga. It allowed me to feel more connected, I gained more confidence in myself and was proud of what my body allowed me to do and amazed at the effects on my body and mind.

After several years I chose to become a Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor and in 2002 opened my own yoga studio A Place for Yoga and Health. I have had the privilege of travelling to India 6 times to study with the Iyengar family as well as to France, USA and across Canada studying with senior teachers.

In 2014 I discovered Marc David and the Institute for the Psychology of Eating and enrolled in their Eating Psychology Coaching Program which fit in beautifully with yogic philosophy and the mind body connection!

After becoming certified as an Eating Psychology Coach / Mind Body Nutrition Coach, I opened my coaching business, Nutrition for Your Soul. Then in 2016 I discovered Andrea Nakayama with Functional Nutrition Alliance and enrolled in her Digestive Intensive. This program blew me away and I immediately enrolled in her Full Body Systems program. I am a third year graduate and continue to learn about Functional Nutrition.

Functional Nutrition is based on the principles of Functional Medicine which I believe is the future of health care.

 

Too many women struggle with stress, burn out and fatigue as they try to manage everything in their lives

Did you know that stress is linked to over 100 medical conditions, some of them serious?

Stress in the body, which comes from many sources, produces a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol when increased in the body puts you into the “fight or flight” response. Too much time spent in fight or flight drains your energy and leads to extreme fatigue.

Every person will respond differently to stress and it is important to take the right steps now to make sure that you are not one of those people who ends up with a serious condition.

 

Often women are told it is all in their head

Nothing irks me more than to hear this. As mentioned above, there are many different reasons for stress and by exploring an individual’s lifestyle we can discover the source and together begin to create steps to get you out of fight or flight mode and into rest and relaxation mode at least for part of your day!

Each individual is unique and therefore there will not be a one-size-fits-all approach here. But as we dive into your story we will find your own personal “non-negotiables” that must be addressed to get you on your own personalized healing path.

 

Women don’t feel that there is time for taking care of themselves

Trust me I know where you are coming from with this one! I was there myself for many years putting everyone else’s needs in front of my own. But if we don’t take time for ourselves, what makes us think we will have energy to look after everyone else?

As women we are the caregivers, but we must learn to put ourselves first and there are many simple ways we can begin to incorporate little things into our day to keep us energized and centered. Then not only do we benefit, but we will actually have more to give to those around us as well.

 

It’s time to bring personal joy, energy and passion back into your life and to celebrate all you were meant to be!

What Clients are Saying About Working With Me

“This program has provided me with a deeper understanding of my relationship with food and how this in turn affects my metabolism and my entire digestive system directly related to weight loss/maintenance, nutrition, health and overall state of well being.
Since starting this program I have developed a conscious awareness of what, where, when and why I eat the foods I consume on a daily basis. It’s truly been a inspirational journey that has transformed my relationship with food. ”

This course has enlightened me to many things that I had been taking for granted in the past. It offered me simple day to day changes that have made a great difference and encouraged me to explore other areas where I can continue to see improvement in my health and well being.
I was previously overwhelmed by the many nutrition and health options available but this course has shown me simple, effective strategies towards greater well being and has encouraged me to explore deeper as I continue to take charge of my own health!”

Over the past 20 years I have gathered many tools and skills to help my students and clients become more connected to self and to realize their full potential.

I have also been blessed to share this work with many in my community through classes, free talks, group programs, workshops, writing articles in several local health magazines and of course through one-on-one coaching with clients.

Using the unique approaches of Functional Nutrition and Eating Psychology and of course yoga, I have the latest cutting edge skills to educate my clients of the necessary approaches towards incorporating more health, joy and vitality into their lives.

If you are tired of being tired and have also been soul searching and are ready to make some transitional life changes, I can help you using various techniques of Mind Body Nutrition.

I will show you the importance of learning how to slow down, relax and nourish your body, mind and spirit.

By taking time out for you, finding time for reflection, and becoming present you will become more balanced in all areas of your life.

Plus, I can help you discover what message those extra pounds may have. Whether you are an emotional eater, binge eater, have body image concerns, or if you are dealing with digestive concerns, fatigue, mood issues or even low immunity, using the unique techniques of Dynamic Eating Psychology, I will help you achieve your specific nutritional needs.

Through the fascinating realm of Functional Nutrition which is based on Functional Medicine, we will dive deep into your “story” to determine why you have been struggling with the issues you currently have.

By assessing and tracking we can begin to address the “non-negotiables” that apply specifically to you.

This is not a one size fits all approach. As we identify and address what is required for you to reach your own personal goals we can also help address the root causes of your symptoms.

Making necessary dietary and lifestyle changes will begin to bring your body back into balance and allow you to be the best version of yourself!

It is such a joy for me to be able to follow my passion and to be able to help women overcome their own personal obstacles to vibrant health, purpose and vitality!

My wish is to help as many women as I can become embodied and to embrace and love who they truly are.

May the Journey of learning never end!
