Stasha Hughes Health + Life coach

Twenty years ago I was emerging from debilitating depression after a series of family tragedies and I decided to address my resulting obesity. 

I had turned to food to sooth myself in times of distress. I whole-heartedly embraced a big name weight loss program, made empowering changes in my life, and discovered the profound importance of community for me along the way.

To give and receive support and educate myself on health has been my quest ever since.

Fast-forward ten years: I happily had a partner and child, but was floundering with my healthy habits in this new context as a mother.  The program I had joined before had ceased to work, and I went through several difficult years of trial and error. Though I learned a ton through my research and experimentation, nothing was sticking and I did not feel healthy.  

I was finally able to rebuild momentum towards my self-defined health by accessing a group of tools based on what I knew to be true about myself.  Key for me was setting up support and accountability - from an individual coach and online communities and programs – which enabled me to find peace again with food and intentionally rebuild my healthy habits.  

Now I experience the joy of knowing I have the resources to always be moving forward – and so can you. 

And the big bonus is that I get to provide compassionate, curious, insightful support to others on their journeys!  You can find me dancing up a storm, embarrassing my daughter in public, and relishing the beauty of nature with friends, family, and of course community.
