FAQs
Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
Who is this for?
Anyone with Type 1, Type 2, Pre-diabetes, or caregivers.
How often do we meet?
Once a month
Is there a cost?
There is a nominal fee of $20 per session or discounted 6 month fee of $100. Investment Options Option A: The Full 6-Month Journey $100 (Best Value): Commit to the full transformation. This covers all 6 sessions, all curriculum materials, and full access to the Vibly digital platform. Paying upfront is a powerful psychological "anchor" for your health goals. Option B: Monthly Momentum $20 per session: Perfect for those who prefer to take it one discovery at a time. This includes the monthly handout and access to that month’s group discussion. *I believe health support should be accessible. If the fee is a barrier for you, please reach out to me.
