KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Jill Cordell, Certified Coach Practitioner, knows all about life altering changes. When she transitioned to her new life after gastric bypass surgery, she not only had to get used to a new body and new eating habits but she also had to face addiction transfer syndrome (ATS) risks and painful emotions.
“I’ve been through dramatic events in my life – such as my bariatric surgery – and now I can dedicate myself towards helping others adjust to the new emotional and physical changes to their bodies,” she said.
In fact, Cordell says the risk of addiction transfer syndrome has basically become an epidemic with people that have undergone weight loss surgery.
“A full 30 percent of weight loss surgery patients will experience addiction transfer syndrome,” she said. “Without having the proper focus, many people will regain the weight. That’s why having a bariatric life coach is so important.”
Cordell coaches effectively based on both her intuitive and learned coaching abilities and her own knowledge and experience. She uses a full complement of holistic mind, body and spirit techniques to help people cope with different situations in their lives. Each treatment is individually based upon the unique needs of the client and includes behavior modification and assistance to achieve a smooth positive and safe transition to a new lifestyle.
“I work closely with my clients and ensure that not only their body is nurtured through the process, but also their mind and their spirit,” she said. “I can also work with extended family members to help them adjust to the client’s new lifestyle.”
Cordell is the only life coach with direct experience in bariatric weight loss surgery in the entire Knoxville area. She truly has the actual experience of losing hundreds of pounds and has been able to keep it off for more than eight years. Because of this, her clients endorse her as the only person with the experience and knowledge to coach them through major weight loss surgery. Without her, many of her clients say they would have had no where else to turn.
“I really like helping all of my clients, especially people that have undergone dramatic weight loss surgery,” she said. “However all transitions have similar human reactions and I am happy to be there to coach anyone that needs a little extra support. You only have one life, one you, one choice, right now.”
Bariatric weight loss surgery coaching is just one of the many support services Jill Cordell offers her clients. She can actually help anyone looking for a natural and holistic approach to life coaching for any physical or emotional need.
