I strongly believe in a client-centered practice that supports people who would like to attain their health goals by partnering with me, whether they are dealing with an illness or just want better health and well-being in general.

FAQs
Is coaching right for you? Free discovery call, tel. 919-430-4334.
Please call my business phone (919-430-4334) to discuss whether my coaching would support your health goal(s); this discovery call is free. If we are a good fit (meaning I could help you), and you sign the "Customer Agreement," etc., at Vibly.io after discussing it with me by phone, I'll send you an invitation from the Vibly.io platform to schedule a Zoom complimentary micro session (20"-25") with me so that you can experience my coaching free of charge before you commit to it. See also below.
What does it involve?
We’ll first go over the process, price, questions about the "Customer Agreement" we must sign for coaching, other Q&As, etc., by phone. Either of us can terminate this "Agreement" in writing. The complimentary Zoom micro session will give you an idea of the methods used and whether you'd like to commit to 3 months of telehealth coaching on Vibly.io. We’ll start with 3 months of bi-weekly sessions; see my availability calendar to schedule. When necessary, we'll add up to 3 more months.
How long does health and well-being coaching take?
Usually, clients accomplish their goals in 3 months of coaching, or in 6 for difficult situations. As a coach, I’ll be your guide during the process of breaking with undesirable habits that impede your goal(s). We’ll partner together to implement a plan tailored to you with agreed upon strategies. We will break them down into small, manageable steps based on your envisioned best health, why having the latter is important and meaningful to you, and other aspects related to your health.
What will coaching cost?
The discovery call and complimentary Zoom micro session are free. NEW CLIENT SPECIAL OFFERS: 1. ask me about getting 50% off; 2. a package of six (6) 45"-60" regular sessions costs $180.00 for 3-months of biweekly coaching. For financial hardship, we can discuss monthly billing or a sliding fee scale as exceptions. The fee must paid in advance of the session(s) at Vibly.io. At this time, it is not possible for me to accept any insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid.
*Important re. my certification, coaching experience, and company
I'm already authorized to coach by my training program (D.I.M.). Vibly's Profile does not allow typing in less than 1 year; the site also limits characters. Therefore, I couldn't write above that my company, Optimize Your Health Coaching, became an LLC in 05-2025. However, I have experience, supervised professionally, from my training (10-24 to 07-25), and from coaching my own clients. I need 1 more exam--this one, based on a client session--to become Certified as a coach.
