FAQs

1. What is health coaching?

Button

Health coaching is a supportive, collaborative process that helps you set and reach your personal health goals. Using motivational interviewing and evidence-based strategies, I partner with you to make sustainable lifestyle changes for improved health and wellbeing.

2. Who do you work with?

Button

I work with adults in Rochester and across New York State who are living with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, weight concerns, or who are navigating life after cancer treatment.

3. How is health coaching different from medical care?

Button

As a health coach, I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Instead, I work alongside your existing healthcare team to help you apply your doctor’s recommendations and make lasting lifestyle changes. Coaching is about accountability, motivation, and creating a plan that works for you.

4. How are sessions conducted?

Button

Sessions are typically conducted virtually via secure video conferencing, making it easy for you to connect from anywhere in New York State. Local in-person sessions may be available upon request.

5. What does a typical session look like?

Button

Each session lasts about 60 minutes (the first session typically lasts 75-90 minutes). We begin by checking in on your progress, then focus on your current challenges and goals. Together, we create a personalized action plan with clear, realistic steps you can take before the next session.

6. Do you offer packages or memberships?

Button

Yes. You may begin with a Foundations Bundle (6 sessions over 3 months) or choose a Membership Plan for ongoing support. Memberships offer more flexibility, continuous messaging support, and tiered options depending on your needs.

7. What is your cancellation policy?

Button

For bundles, sessions require 24 hours’ notice to reschedule, and early termination may incur a $100 administrative fee. For memberships, there is a 3-month minimum commitment, after which you may cancel before your next billing cycle.

8. Single Sessions

Button

• Initial Session: 75-90 min, $300 • Follow-Up (single): 45-60 min, $200

9. Foundation Bundle : 6-follow up session: $1,100

Button

The 6-session coaching package is $1,100 and includes one session approximately every two weeks, along with one secure check-in between each session to help maintain momentum and support your progress. This bundle is designed for full completion; however, if you must discontinue early, completed sessions will be charged at the single-session rate of $200 each, and any remaining balance will be refunded minus a $100 administrative fee.

10. Long term commitment
