Program structure
1. Initial Health and Wellness Session
This is our first session together. We'll set the foundation of your coaching journey during this session. Many aspects of life contribute to our health status and well being: career, creativity, education, finances, health status, nutrition, home/community environment, relationships, socialization, spirituality, etc. If there is any aspect of your life that is below the level of satisfaction that you would like, and it is having an impact on your wellness, we can discuss this as a possible focus of your coaching program.
2. Choose the best Coaching Program for Your Needs
During the initial session we will discuss whether you feel the Targeted Health and Wellness Program or the Comprehensive Health and Wellness Program better meets your needs. The Targeted program is designed to tackle one or two areas of wellness. The program includes weekly/biweekly sessions for three months followed by four- monthly sessions for a total of seven months of support. The Comprehensive program allows for more time to tackle multiple, inter-related areas of wellness. It includes weekly/biweekly sessions for six months followed by one-monthly session for a total of seven months of support.
3. Determine the Best Schedule for You
You can decide if 30-minute sessions every week or 45-minute sessions every other week will support you better. Some clients like to take smaller, quicker steps toward their goals, and others like to take slightly bigger steps which take a little more time to implement. You decide.
4. Maintenance Plan
If you decide the Targeted Program is best for you, four-monthly sessions will be scheduled at the conclusion of your weekly/biweekly sessions. If you choose the Comprehensive Plan, one monthly session will be scheduled the conclusion of your weekly/biweekly sessions. This allows us to work together past the six month "Action" stage that is often critical to getting to "Maintenance". This is to facilitate the likelihood that you will have long term success with your goals and make your health and wellness vision a reality.

FAQs
Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
What if I'm not sure that I want to try Health Coaching or I'm not sure I want to work with you?
This is absolutely understandable. Health Coaching is an investment in precious resources (time, money and energy). Coaching has become commonplace in society today due to the research showing its efficacy, much of it done with our military veterans. The behavior change techniques and tools are well-supported and time-tested in the field of psychology. If you decide it's right for you, coaching is well worth the investment.

I'm ready to jump in! How do I get started?
Click on the Book a Call link. You do not need to set up an account on my platform (Vibly), unless you want to, of course.
How long will we need to work together for me to meet my goals?
Based on the well known Transtheoretical Model (TTM). The National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches recommends that a client be in the "Action" stage for six months before moving into "Maintenance". That's the reason most coaching programs are six months in duration with a short sequence of follow-ups afterward. Based on research, we know that is the length of time that will result in the greatest likelihood of sustained behavioral change. We can discuss this more during the initial session as each client and situation are unique.
I might want to share some medical information with you. Is my information safe?
Absolutely! One of the reasons I chose the Vibly platform for my coaching practice is that it's HIPAA compliant. All client data, messaging, note-taking, and session records are fully encrypted and HIPAA compliant. As the Health Coaching profession is formalizing (it used to be the "Wild West") and growing, national board certified coaches are being brought into (or working with) medical practices, insurance companies and hospitals. In some circumstances, coaching is already HSA-eligible and the profession is lobbying for insurance coverage for health coaching. As a former licensed provider, being able to protect client information is critical to me and it is becoming increasingly critical to the profession.
