Frequently Asked Questions

Health coaching is a collaborative partnership that facilitates behavior change through evidence-based strategies. Unlike a traditional expert-led approach, a coach works with you to identify your own strengths and motivations, helping you build sustainable habits aligned with your personal vision of wellness.

Coaching is a great fit if you're ready to take action and want a thought partner to help you get there. You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out. Many clients come feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been putting their own needs last for too long. If you're navigating a health challenge, a big life change, or know what you want but can't seem to make it stick, coaching could be exactly what you need. Not sure? The free 15-20-minute discovery call is the best way to find out.

Health looks different for everyone. Here's a snapshot of what we can explore together: nutrition, weight loss, exercise & movement, sleep, stress management, anxiety & burnout, habit formation, work/life balance, energy management, mindfulness, resilience, healthy aging, and more. If you're future-focused and ready to take action, we can work on it.

Choosing a certified health coach means working with someone who has received formal training in helping people create lasting health and lifestyle changes. Certification includes education in behavior change, motivation, goal setting, communication skills, and professional ethics.

A certified coach is trained to help you uncover what works best for your unique situation, rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. They also follow professional standards and understand how to support your health journey while staying within their scope of practice.

Most importantly, certification helps ensure that you're working with a coach who uses proven, evidence-based approaches to help you build sustainable habits and achieve meaningful results.

Clients commonly experience improved energy levels, better stress management, and a stronger sense of self-efficacy. Research consistently shows health coaching increases life satisfaction, sense of purpose, and overall happiness while reducing daily anxiety, typically over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent work.

Sessions run 45 minutes via video call. A typical session is a supportive, conversational space tailored to you and what you're currently navigating. We'll start by checking in on how you've been feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally, along with any goals, challenges, or patterns you've noticed since our last conversation (or what's bringing you in if it's your first session). From there, we'll explore areas of your health and lifestyle such as stress, energy, sleep, nutrition, movement, routines, or self-care habits to better understand what may be contributing to how you feel. Together, we'll identify realistic, sustainable strategies and create small, manageable next steps that feel supportive and achievable for your life.

Health coaching and therapy are both supportive partnerships, but have different focuses. Therapy is helps to address mental health concerns, process emotions, and heal from past experiences. Health coaching focuses on helping you make sustainable lifestyle changes, clarify goals, and build habits that support your overall well-being. Health coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions, but we can work alongside therapists as part of a holistic support team.

Health coaching is not currently covered by most insurance plans. However, some HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) plans may reimburse coaching services. It's worth checking with your provider.

All sessions are conducted online via video call, accessible from anywhere. You'll receive a video link after your booking confirmation.
