“A Mindful Way of Eating”
Holistic Eating Solutions: A Transformative Approach to Food and Health
At Holistic Eating Solutions, we believe that understanding who we are as eaters is essential to our weight and wellness journey. Each person has a unique, evolving relationship with food-one that reflects not only nourishment but also identity, family, work, and even sexuality.
We see challenges with eating, weight, and health not as signs of being broken, but as windows of opportunity to grow and evolve. Our relationship with food carries important lessons, waiting to be heard if we choose to listen.
By exploring these connections, Holistic Eating Solutions offers a powerful and unique approach-one that empowers individuals to embrace food as a teacher, a mirror, and a pathway to transformation.
I am a Certified Mind Body Eating Coach, trained through the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, and a Certified Personal Trainer through ASFA. My journey in the health and wellness field began in my early 20s, when I faced my own struggles with body image. For years, I questioned whether I was “pretty enough” or “small enough” to be accepted.
Through time, growth, and self-discovery, I have learned to love and accept the person I am today. This transformation has shaped my philosophy: true weight and health transformation is not simply about calories in and calories out, it’s about the mind-body connection.
Over the past few decades, I have worked across various weight loss industries, supporting individuals in navigating challenges such as:
Body image and self-acceptance
Weight and digestion
Overeating and stress-related eating
Mood, energy, and overall wellness
My approach is holistic, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the belief that food and health are not just physical matters- they are reflections of our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
About Me
Hi, I’m Darlene Bowman
MY APPROACH
As a trained coach, my approach goes beyond diets and willpower- it’s about mind-body connection. I help people transform challenges with food, weight, and body image into opportunities for growth. Through empowering coaching strategies and sustainable nutrition principles, I guide clients toward a healthier metabolism and a happier relationship with food, and lasting results.
For too long, people have been told conflicting messages about what to eat and how to live. This has left many feeling confused, frustrated, and disconnected from their natural rhythms. I see these challenges not as enemies, but as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
At the heart of my work is the belief that lasting transformation begins with thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Nutrition is important, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. By focusing on the mind-body connection, I help clients explore the deeper patterns that shape their eating habits, health, and self-image.
Through coaching strategies and nutrition principles that are:
Nourishing- supporting both body and spirit
Doable- practical steps that fit into daily life
Sustainable- changes that last, not quick fixes
Results-driven- guiding you toward meaningful, measurable progress
I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey- helping you cultivate a healthier metabolism, a happier relationship with food, and a deeper sense of self-acceptance.
