FAQs

How is Health & Wellness Coaching different from therapy?

Button

Therapists are licensed to diagnose, treat, and prescribe related to mental disorders. Health & Wellness Coaches, however, partner with clients who are not in serious mental distress. They help them build their future personal and professional selves through support, guidance, and offering science-backed information that nurtures lifestyle changes: self-determined goal-setting, actions, accountability, and adhering to a deep respect for client autonomy.

How do sessions work?

Button

45-minute sessions either through virtual video GOOGLE MEET conferencing, or via phone. Coach utilizes Vibly, an all-inclusive coaching platform that adheres to 100% client privacy/confidentiality. *Note: Although Vibly account registration is required for secure access to notes, forms, and documentation, Vibly allows clients to schedule sessions and make payments without creating an account. And clients can always register later if desired.

How many sessions are needed for optimal lifestyle/behavioral change?

Button

Science/research supports that 3-months (12 sessions) is the ideal time it takes to make sustainable behavior change. *Note: after 3-months (12 sessions) of an active coaching program, clients have ideally developed the strategies, skills, accountability in order to then pursue single sessions toward continued progress.

What is your Privacy & confidentiality policy?

Button

Coach engages within their Scope of Practice and Competentices as a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and pledges a 100% commitment to confidentiality in accordance with the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) Code of Ethics. Client’s personal information and details of their sessions will remain private, unless otherwise given written consent by Client.

What are your fee/payment policies?

Button

Fees/payments are made by credit/debit/ACH through Stripe. Insurance is not accepted, as health & wellness coaching—like other services such as personal/fitness/yoga training—is not a licensed profession. Fees are negotiable, on a case-by-case basis, for clients with financial hardship.
