A functional health coach takes a holistic approach to wellness and is trained to work independently or collaborate with health care providers. I also recognize that sleep, stress management and meaningful connection are just as important for optimal wellness as boosting nutrient density and physical activity. You will have the opportunity to evaluate these areas and decide what’s important to focus on when you work with me.

Studies show that telling people what to do doesn’t work. As a professionally trained health coach, I can offer information and resources when desired, but will honor your autonomy and decisions regarding how you choose to use that information.

Therapy helps people recover from the past in order to move forward. Health coaching is future-focused and discovery-oriented.

The only things you have to give up while working with me are self-judgment and limiting beliefs! Other than that, you decide what strategies are going to work best for your life and circumstances. There are many paths to wellness!

When you’ve been wanting to make important changes in your life, but you find yourself doing the same old thing day after day, it’s time. I can help you break through the status quo and finally move forward to achieve what you really want.

Health coaching is both heart-centered and action-oriented. You will start implementing doable steps and having small victories right away, and maybe some big ones too!

It’s advisable to initially plan for at least 3-5 visits so you can gain momentum, put new habits into practice and troubleshoot obstacles. Some clients find that this is enough to help them move consistently in their desired direction. Others choose to continue as a method of self-accountability.

Sessions can take place either in-person if desired by local clients, or via telephone or Zoom depending on your preference.

The Wellness Vision session is 40 minutes long. Subsequent sessions are 30 minutes long. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much can be accomplished in 30 minutes.

I take confidentiality and your privacy very seriously. Each client is assigned a unique code and records are stored in a password-protected computer.

At this point insurance coverage for health coaching is limited. Flexible Spending or Health Savings Accounts can sometimes be used. Check with your plan provider for coverage details.
