Carmen Voltic
Holistic Food Coach in Melbourne, Australia
Hi, I'm Carmen and I help empower people to reach their health goals through nutrition and mindset.
I take a holistic approach, meaning that I don't just focus on what people are eating. Instead, I look at their whole lifestyle, as everything is interconnected.
As a coach, I help my clients identify & overcome their blocks to achieving their health goals; create a food/lifestyle strategy together & keep them accountable throughout their health journey!
My previous life involved a career in the travel industry, however my life changed direction when I became ill. I quickly realised that the conventional medical route didn't satisfactorily provide me with the answers & outcomes that I was seeking, and this experience left me feeling disempowered.
I embarked on my own research, which highlighted a key factor: food. I realised that my path toward healing would require a holistic approach, and that my healing journey was going to take hard work, time, and would be overwhelming without experts on my 'team', so I sought assistance from alternative therapists in various fields.
Changing my diet made a huge difference and, this in turn, put me on the path to studying nutrition/food coaching so that I could learn more, and to help others. I then went on to complete further studies in this field to expand my knowledge and skills.
When I'm not coaching:
You might catch me at a market or grocery store, selecting fruit and veggies to supplement the organic produce from my backyard garden (which local wildlife often help themselves to)!
I love to experiment in the kitchen and photographing my creations. I've had my fair share of disaster creations but, as long as the flavour's there, it still gets eaten!
I love heading out into the garden, also known as my 'continuous learning experiment', which can look like an uncultivated mess (especially during the cold and wet winter days) but it's a never-ending labour of love. I believe that nature is our best teacher. My camera is also never far and I love to capture moments in nature through the lens.
Just like a garden thrives when tended with care, the body, mind, and soul flourish when nurtured with intention. I love supporting others in cultivating that same balance.
Thanks for visiting. To work with me, visit my website for more info.
