LifeWeighs Wellness Coaching
Weight Loss Clinic in Portland, Oregon
About LifeWeighs Wellness Coaching
LifeWeighs Wellness Coaching takes a holistic approach to weight management, addressing not just what you eat but why you eat. Our certified life coaches understand that lasting weight loss requires addressing emotional triggers, stress patterns, and underlying beliefs about food and body image. We've helped Portland-area clients break free from decades of dieting cycles and develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
Founded by wellness coach Sarah Chen, who overcame her own struggles with emotional eating, our practice emphasizes self-compassion and mindful eating principles. We work with individuals who feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking patterns, emotional eaters, and those who've tried every diet without lasting success. Our 5.0-star rating reflects our commitment to supporting clients through sustainable transformation rather than quick fixes.
Services Offered
Our signature program combines life coaching techniques with nutritional guidance to address the root causes of weight struggles. We help clients identify emotional eating triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and create sustainable eating patterns that don't require constant willpower. Sessions include mindful eating exercises, stress management techniques, and cognitive behavioral strategies for changing thought patterns around food. We offer individual coaching sessions, group workshops on topics like emotional eating and body positivity, and online support communities for ongoing encouragement. Our approach includes intuitive eating principles, helping clients reconnect with their body's natural hunger and fullness cues. We also provide practical tools like meal planning templates, but the focus remains on developing internal awareness and self-regulation skills. Many clients find our approach refreshing because it doesn't involve strict rules or food restrictions.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with an in-depth assessment of your relationship with food, eating patterns, and life stressors that may contribute to weight challenges. We explore your dieting history, emotional triggers, and current coping mechanisms. The first month focuses on building awareness through food and mood journaling, identifying patterns without judgment.
Months 2-3 involve developing new coping strategies for emotional triggers and practicing mindful eating techniques. We work on creating a supportive environment and establishing boundaries that support your wellness goals. Sessions during this phase often include guided visualizations and stress reduction practices. The final phase emphasizes integration and developing confidence in your ability to maintain progress independently while knowing ongoing support is available when needed.
Why Choose LifeWeighs Wellness Coaching
Unlike traditional weight loss programs that focus solely on diet and exercise, we address the psychological and emotional aspects of eating behavior. Our 5.0-star rating reflects our unique ability to help clients achieve lasting change by healing their relationship with food. We don't believe in restrictive diets or punishment-based approaches to weight management.
Sarah's personal experience with emotional eating brings authenticity and deep understanding to our coaching relationship. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore difficult topics without shame. Many clients tell us they've never had someone truly understand their struggles with food until working with us. Our success comes from helping people develop internal tools for managing stress, emotions, and life challenges without turning to food.
Insurance & Pricing
Our coaching services aren't covered by traditional insurance, but we accept HSA and FSA payments as they're considered preventive wellness services.

Our 3-month intensive program is priced at $1,200, including weekly sessions and email support.

First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first session, spend a few days noticing your eating patterns without trying to change them. Keep a simple journal noting what you eat and how you're feeling before and after meals. This awareness will help us identify patterns and starting points for our work together.
Come prepared to discuss your relationship with food honestly, including any shame or guilt you might feel. Our sessions are completely confidential and judgment-free. Expect to spend time exploring emotions and thought patterns, not just discussing meal plans. Many clients find our approach different from traditional weight loss programs, so be open to a new way of thinking about food and your body. Progress often includes increased self-awareness and reduced food anxiety, not just the number on the scale.
