It’s a collaborative partnership between you and a trained professional who helps you identify your health goals, create sustainable lifestyle changes, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. Unlike medical treatment, coaching focuses on empowering you to make informed decisions about your health through education, motivation, and accountability. Health coaches work holistically (whole person), addressing nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and other lifestyle factors.

Board certification means I have completed rigorous training through an accredited program and passed a comprehensive examination administered by a recognized certifying body. This certification demonstrates my commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards and staying current with evidence-based coaching practices. Board-certified health coaches are required to complete continuing education to maintain their credentials.

Each coaching session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes and may be conducted via phone, video call, or in-person depending on your preference and location. We’ll start by exploring your current health status, challenges, and aspirations. Together, we’ll develop realistic, actionable goals and create step-by-step plans to achieve them. Sessions include ongoing support, accountability check-ins, and adjustments to your plan as needed.

I can support you with a wide range of wellness goals, including weight management, improving energy levels, developing better sleep habits, managing stress, creating sustainable nutrition practices, increasing physical activity and movement, building healthy routines, or improving work-life balance. I can also work in collaboration with your healthcare team to manage chronic conditions. We’ll focus on creating lasting lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.

Absolutely! Virtual coaching via phone or video calls is highly effective and offers greater convenience and accessibility. Many clients actually prefer virtual sessions as they can participate from the comfort of their own home or office without travel time. Virtual coaching allows for flexible scheduling and eliminates geographical limitations. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure your privacy and confidentiality are protected.

Health coaching is ideal if you’re motivated to make positive changes but need guidance, support, and accountability to achieve your goals. You’re a good candidate if you’re ready to take an active role in your health, open to trying new approaches, and committed to the coaching process. Coaching works best when you have realistic expectations and understand that lasting change takes time and effort.
