Meet Janine Rom

Name: Janine Rom 

Location:  Long Island, New York 

My approach to coaching clients is first and foremost understanding. I take a firm and honest approach when giving guidance.  I take pride in being able to connect with clients on a deeper level to help them achieve the balance in life that they are seeking.  I search for the root cause of what is the imbalance issues in the body.  Approaching each client with the mindset of body, mind and spirit in guidance leads them on a path of healing, joy and wellness that they can continue for the rest of their lives.  I practice multiple deep breathing techniques, meditation and tai chi.  I feel it is of the utmost importance to incorporate stress reducing techniques into my coaching.  I specialize in gut healing.  The reason for most chronic inflammation is due to poor gut health.  I do not have a one size fits all approach.  Each person is a genetic individual and I guide them as such.             

My education for coaching started at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  I am currently working towards my master’s in health Coaching.  Since graduating, I have developed a Wellness program for grades K-12.  This program is available to 52 school districts in NY.  It is a curriculum designed for students and staff, teaching them on a monthly basis how to feed and nurture their body, mind and spirit.  Integrating organic gardening and meditation into everyday school life.  I host weekend Wellness retreats.  Each retreat has a different health/relationship topic.  I cook and prepare all organic food and drink for the retreat.  I teach health workshops at a wellness education center called Phountain.  We teach all about how to live long and well.  Personal life experiences:  I went through a time of about 20 years dealing with an eating disorder.  Coming out of that healed with realizing gut health is the most important part to concentrate on.  After having children, I dealt with extreme hormone imbalance.  The symptoms are different for everyone.  It can cause the whole body to get thrown off balance. This I feel is something most women are being affected by and don’t even know it.            

I like to keep things light when appropriate.  It makes for having an easy relationship with the client.  I am very active and love to ski and hike.   On my retreats there is always a major hike up the mountain on the itinerary.  I have children and have been happily married for 15 years.
