Hello everyone!
I am the founder of Askiki, a website that I created to review products and services of all kinds so you can make better purchase decisions. I also wanted to have this website to be able to spread my knowledge of holistic health/wellbeing and help people heal from their chronic health issues.
In an era teeming with wellness trends and fads, the search for effective, personalized guidance can often lead to a maze-like exploration of the internet and beyond. The quest to adopt a healthier lifestyle, tackle chronic health issues, or simply enhance one’s overall well-being can be a daunting one.
This is where our certified health coaches step in, offering a beacon of support in the often confusing landscape of personal wellness journeys. But what exactly is a certified health coach and how can they empower you on your path to vitality?
Definition of a Certified Health Coach and Their Role
A certified health coach is an expert proficient in holistic health and wellness strategies, who partners with clients to support them in achieving their personal health goals.
While health coaches often focus on diet, they also branch out into elements such as movement, lifestyle changes, and emotional well-being, providing a comprehensive approach to health management.
A good health coach is not just an informer of health-related facts. Instead, they are skilled listeners, adept at asking powerful questions that help clients identify their personal motivations and barriers to living a healthy lifestyle. Health coaches do not impose one-size-fits-all solutions.
Rather, they work collaboratively with their clients to devise a customized approach that aligns with their unique circumstances and aspirations.

Benefits of Hiring a Certified Health Coach
Personalized Guidance and Support
One of the most invaluable aspects of working with a certified health coach is the personalized attention you receive. By taking into account your individual health history, preferences, and lifestyle, a health coach develops a tailored plan that is supportive and adaptive, taking into account your evolving needs.
No matter if your goal is to lose weight, exercise more, or you are just tired of yo-yo dieting, we will create a customized solution for you.
Accountability and Motivation
It's so easy to push aside our wellness initiatives when life gets busy. A health coach is your partner in accountability, helping you stay committed to your goals and celebrating your successes with you. They provide the gentle (or sometimes not so gentle) nudge that keeps you on track.
Tailored Nutrition and Fitness Plans
A crucial component of a health coach's role is to help you make sense of conflicting health advice and create a plan that best suits your goals and dietary requirements. From meal planning to fitness regimens, a health coach ensures that your strategy is both effective and enjoyable.
Qualifications and Training of a Certified Health Coach
To ensure you’re working with a competent professional, look for a health coach with credentials from a reputable health coaching program. Such programs focus on a variety of health-related topics, including nutrition, psychology, behavior change, and coaching techniques.
Accredited Programs and Certifications
A superior health coach will possess certification from one of the top-tier programs accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) or the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching.
These programs teach evidence-based principles and equip coaches with practical skills to assist clients in achieving sustainable lifestyle changes.
Areas of Expertise
Health coaches often develop specializations. Some may focus on weight management, others on stress reduction or preparing for specific health challenges. It’s worth exploring a health coach's niche to ensure it aligns with your primary wellness interests.
How a Health Coach Can Help You Achieve Your Wellness Goals
Setting Realistic Goals
A health coach will help you set realistic, achievable goals that are personalized to your lifestyle. This is not about quick fixes, but rather a long-term vision of your health, with step-by-step goals to get you there.
Overcoming Obstacles
Change isn’t easy. A qualified health coach is armed with an arsenal of strategies to help you overcome common obstacles such as stress, time management, and emotional eating, ensuring you stay the course.
Sustainable Lifestyle Changes
The end goal is not just to shed some pounds or to eat right for a month. A health coach is instrumental in helping you make permanent, positive changes to your lifestyle that enhance your overall health and well-being.

Why Choose Us?
If you need a wellness coach to help you with your chronic health issues or health goals, would you choose someone who has been through health challenges and successfully recovered from them or someone like an ISSA-certified health coach or a board-certified health coach that have studied theories about general health, but never had any life-threatening disease?
I would choose the person with tangible experiences because the body is a sophisticated machine with many components which makes it a lot harder to come up with solutions.
Health Journey
My health issues began when they removed all my wisdom teeth (4 in total). After a couple of months, I started losing weight progressively. I became slower, more fatigued, more headaches, and brain fog. My focus wasn't the same anymore and my physical and academic performances decreased.
I didn't know what was happening. My body became weaker after about 1 year. I went from 160lb to 140 and I was 6ft tall, so I was a bit underweight to begin with. Fast forward, I ended up with chronic fatigue and I wasn't able to do my daily routine anymore. I was tired all the time and other symptoms started to appear more frequently like anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, food intolerances, etc. It was a total nightmare, especially during the cold winters.
I didn't know what to do and I had to stop working and try to find help. Doctors were not useful. My blood tests were fine and I didn't have any physical symptoms besides the weight loss, but I wasn't feeling well mentally. I tried all kinds of diets and incorporating more raw foods, but that only got me so far.
I started looking into wellness coaches and healthcare professionals. I finally found someone who was able to identify the root causes of my health issues. Turned out I had 13 deficiencies, 2 cavitations where they extracted my wisdom teeth, and the number one thing disrupting my body was mercury. As a child, I had a lot of dental work done and they used mercury amalgams on my baby teeth. The mercury vapor stayed in my body all that time and it was very painful to detoxify.
Other things caused me problems, but these were the major ones.
Our Team
We are 2 wellness professionals helping people get out of pain and achieve their health goals. Our health coaching skills are unique because we can identify the 6 root causes instead of chasing the many symptoms.
The 6 possible root causes that may occur in any combination for each individual:
- Nutrition: Deficiencies and excesses contribute to many physical and emotional symptoms.
- Toxicity: Everyone has a toxic load with exposure to chemicals, metals, mold, electricity, and lights.
- Infections: Candida, bacteria, and parasites, produce toxins and can manipulate your brain.
- Misalignment: Bones and muscles, from teeth to toes, can create pain, insomnia, constant stress, and weak organs.
- Emotional: Trapped emotions and unproductive stress responses can drain your energy.
- Mind: How you make health choices based on what you focus on: symptoms versus causes, parts versus wholes, implementing what you have versus shopping for something new, or just not doing what you are supposed to.
Root Cause Logic:
This list of root causes is meant to be all-inclusive and leave out no possibilities. A root cause has no further cause if you keep asking "Why?" until more causes cannot be identified.
Most root causes originate outside of the body:
Nutrients, toxins, infection, emotional abuse or neglect, and missing developmental processes, physical or emotional.
The mind is counted as from outside the body since it can be wrong and not aligned with the body.

This is a game changer…I feel like I healed more in 1 day...”I can redirect energy in my body to where it’s needed most in real-time, I can feel quantities for supplements better, just about everything tbh.
“In presence, it's very incredible, I can feel and control everything better. I started to do everything naturally, finding my point balance, hips activation, toes, etc. I just went for a walk, and this is truly incredible, I re-entered presence 2-3 min after starting to walk and everything was more enjoyable. I was truly walking like we should be doing, everything is fluid and synchronized and you can feel that your posture is adjusting by itself.
