I’m a Certified Health Coach and would like to share what role a health and wellness coach can play in your life.

I’m a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NY State. I chose that school for their well-rounded curriculum encompassing everything from diet and nutrition habits to physical fitness, creative expression, spiritual, mental and emotional health and more. The journey through the coursework had to be part of my own healing as well. We’re all on the road…

“Health & wellness coaches partner with clients looking to enhance their well-being through self-directed lasting changes, aligned with their values. In the course of their work, health & wellness coaches display unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their ability to change, honoring the fact that each client is an expert on their own life while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.”
We are all bio-individuals. What works for one isn’t always the exact recipe for another. I’m here to support you in your process along with having knowledge of many avenues of support and common ways of natural health that can be adapted to fit your needs. Our bodies are all natural gardens. What we put into our soil, what our lives consume (through foods, habits, relationships etc.) will dictate what we grow; good health, not so good, emotional balance or imbalance, spiritual contentedness, cancer, metabolic diseases etc. We used to think our inherited genetics where the luck of the draw and that our habits wouldn’t matter, but our genes only affect 10% of our health outcomes. How we live dictates whether the dimmer switch of those genes are turned up or down. We can affect the other 90% of expression. That’s a lot of power!

If your Dr. has made a recommended lifestyle change and you’d like support to get there? Health coaches are a proven factor in getting the results you seek. Are you simply wanting to be healthier and not sure where to start or want support in any of the following areas:
I’m here for you!

Better sleep habits
Increasing social support
Decreasing stress
Decreasing toxin exposures / healthy home environment
Relief from depressive symptoms
Improving physical activity
Improving metabolic health
Weight loss
Healthy food and hydration choices
Healthy eating habits and recipes
Personal Chef / making cultured foods at home
Improve gut and immune health
Intermittent and extended fasting
Spiritual and meditative practices
Healthy fertility, pregnancy, postpartum nourishing, and healthy happy kids
Breast health / cancer prevention
Anti-cancer living (preventive or healing/living with)
Longevity
Cultivating joy

“Health & wellness coaches train in behavior change theories and motivational strategies. They use these to support the client in creating and sustaining change for improved health and well-being.”

I have a 25 year background as a holistic bodyworker using massage, acupressure, reflexology, aromatherapy and other natural spa wellness habits. Using aromatherapy with acupressure and reflexology are a powerful combination. I love sharing these skills with my clients. I also work in the world of maternity support and was a maternity specialized massage therapist and birth doula for 15 years as well as a Dancing For Birth Trainer and class Instructor. DFB promotes empowered birthing in all environments and is for those who are preconception to postpartum.

I’m currently building a new website so don’t have a live one yet, but you can reach me for a free health coach consultation / discovery session. timeandtidehealthcoaching@gmail.com
971.977.0166 / phone / text

We meet on the phone, video or in-person in your home or a public meeting place. We discuss your health goals and how they can be achieved.
We then decide on a length of contracted 45 min. sessions. This can be one session, 6 in 6 weeks, 6 in 3 months or 12 over 6 months with most sessions happening every other week. Once contracted we choose where to meet for sessions and can sometimes enjoy a moving meeting where we hike some of our local magnificent trails and beaches together. My favorite!

Please feel free to reach out to me to see how I can be of service to you. Wellness and health are my passion as they are a gift to me that I don’t like to take for granted.

Thank you for valuing your health and mine.

Yours in kindness and wellness,
~ Libby

I LOVE NCRD! That’s why I’m urging you to Vote YES on the upcoming renewal of its 5-year tax Levy.

From the moment I walked into the doors of NCRD, I felt welcomed, included, and supported! My passion for fitness led me to join the center, but it’s been the members, staff, and the variety of programs, that have kept me coming! The fitness and yoga instructors are top notch, and the classes offered are inclusive of all abilities, whether you’re young or wizened!

In addition to the classes and the fitness center, I’ve attended a number of fund raising and social events in the gym and in the various rooms that can be rented and used by the community. One of the attractions that draws me down the hall, is the art that adorns the walls of the River Room and the art room. The art is by local artists, and when the items are for sale, some or all of the proceeds benefit local programs or communities, so it’s a win win!

Another program that impressed me, and that I volunteer at, is the before and after school program, Playcare. Angie and her team, assure a safe, well-supervised, stimulating environment, for the children attend. This important program, is offered at a fair price and there are scholarships to those families that need assistance. As a single mom, I know how much a program such as this, was a life saver when I was raising my daughters!

While my participation and use of programs at NCRD has been limited to my personal interests, I’m very much aware of the Aquatics programs, the preschool program that uses the space, and the many other services and programs that are offered at NCRD. I’m proud to be a member of this organization that provides so much to the community! Connection, Community, and Inclusivity are at the heart of this center.

Vote YES for NCRD! No increase in taxes to you, and none of this goes to the funding of the new pool! This levy will assure that all programs, services, and operational costs can be covered! How has NCRD been part of your life and those around you? Let’s keep it going!

This is still true, however the square footage I quoted was incorrect. 166 sq ft was from a previous bid announcement that went out but was never awarded and was from a smaller portion of the project.
Thanks

I’m sure most of you know we have two Senior Meal Sites and the North County Food Bank in our area.
The two Senior Meal Sites are located in Nehalem and Rockaway Beach.
This is some information I copied off the Senior Meal WebSite in Rockaway Beach:
Who We Serve
Our goal is to provide senior citizens in the area with a place to congregate, socialize, be entertained, and have access to an appetizing and nutritious dining experience. We serve senior citizens in North Tillamook County. Our patrons come from Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler, Brighton, Nedonna, Rockaway Beach, Twin Rocks, Barview, Garibaldi and from unincorporated areas of the North County. Our target population is senior citizens, with a special dedication to seniors who are home bound. For those people who are unable to come to the meal site, we deliver a freshly prepared, complete packaged meal, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Many of these homebound are not able to shop; thus, we also deliver additional frozen meals and snacks, so they have meals for six days of the week. This Meal Site in Rockaway Beach is open from 11:30 to 12:30, at the Catholic Church Dining Hall. This year, 2023 they are on track to serve about 13,000 meals. This comes out to a little over 240 meals per week! They ask for a donation of $4 per meal, but it is not required. $20 would provide 5 meals for our Seniors. You can help by sending a check to Meals for Seniors, Inc., PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon, 97130.

Nehalem Senior Lunches are provided at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church. Meals here are $5, and again, no one is turned away. This is information I copied off the Nehalem Senior Lunches website:
Senior Lunches
Nehalem Senior Lunches provides lunch for people to dine in-house for community and conversation, pick up, or delivery to home bound folks. Request $5 donation per meal.
Hours:Tuesdays/Thursdays noon to 1
(Call the church office at (503) 368-5612 to order pick up or request delivery). Your contribution to this cause can be sent to Nehalem Senior Lunches, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon 97131

The North Tillamook County Food Bank located in Wheeler is a huge help to our local families. Not only do they provide food but also have a clothing bank. Here is some information from their website:

Financial donations enable us to purchase wholesome food at wholesale prices from the Oregon Food Bank and local grocers.
You can also send checks made out to “North County Food Bank”:

Please note the North County Food Bank will be providing all the trimmings and a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
The Rockaway Beach Lions will be serving about 22 families for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. They would love a donation sent to Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.

If you’ve read all through this you probably deserve something, but for right now let’s concentrate on helping and donating what we can to our neighbors and their families for the holiday season. Thanks very much! Patty

Take a moment to read again what was said directly to me when meeting with a BM while specifically looking for stage accessibility in the PAC: ‘Why are you poking your nose in this’, ‘I have a disability, you don’t see me asking for special favors’; ‘You don’t want to get on the wrong side of the board, ‘WE HAVE OUR OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS’. Again, not one board member or staff disputed those comments, not one.

My dream for having the NCRD be a treasure for ALL is ATTAINABLE. I believe in the mission statement: which is to promote the Educational, Recreational, Social and Physical well being for the entire North County Community by providing activities for all ages and abilities in an inviting environment.

AND change is not going to happen as long as the status quo culture is supported with OUR tax dollars.

Again, Voting down the levy will not be the end of the NCRD. It will not be the end of the swim program or the after-school program, or those coming from the Health district. What it will do, it will send a clear message, it’s time for the NCRD to be for ALL.

So one last time:

If you are one who has had a negative experience, or been treated with less than respect with the NCRD staff or board.
Vote No.

If you are one who experiences the NCRD as not listening to the needs for ‘all ages and abilities’ as stated in the (nowhere to be displayed) mission statement.
Vote No.

If you are someone whose experience of requesting clarity, or asking questions to the board or the NCRD is as effective as spitting in the wind.
Vote No.

If you are someone who doesn’t trust the NCRD, or the Board, for any reason.
Vote No.

If you believe the NCRD functions as an ‘old boys club’, and you’re tired of paying for it.
Vote No.

If you are someone who is no longer using the NCRD.
Vote No.

If you believe the board should create committees to look for stage accessibility; youth recreation (skatepark); community alliance; and won’t.
Vote No.

VOTE NO for Diversity, Equity, Accessibility

In the following paragraphs I will examine some of the claims made in a recent post by andynorris21@yahoo.com.
“Anyway, more myocarditis in Switzerland. I’m not even going to bother to see if Fact Checker or Snopes tried to cover the truth of this, because it seems to be very true, it’s a study that you and I can read. It’s interpreted by John Campbell who is doing amazing work helping humanity figure what happened to them. I’m guessing big-tech-funded Fact Checker and Snopes won’t even try to re-truth this study into one of their lies, it’s too solid:”
Here is a link to the study: ​​https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejhf.2978
And here are links to multiple articles which clearly explain how the study in question has been misinterpreted. The first link has some further information about John Campbell as well.
leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/07/fact-check-video-swiss-study-do-not-prove-1-in-35-given-covid-19-vaccine-booster-develop-heart-injury.html
www.aap.com.au/factcheck/holes-in-claim-swiss-study-links-jabs-to-heart-disease/
I think it continues to be important to seek Verifiable Truth, and I will continue to do so. But the above example is especially interesting because it shows the importance of scientific literacy and the ways that data can be twisted and used to sow doubt and confusion. I urge people to watch John Campbells video, as well as read the two articles which debunk his conclusions and explain what the study actually concludes.
