A Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC) partners with individuals and groups in a client-centered process to support their health.

I am trained to work closely with clients around all of the lifestyle factors (sleep/relaxation, exercise/movement, nutrition, stress and relationships) that influence health. Health coaches possess the skills required to create connection, trust and rapport by using motivational interviewing, character strengths and positive psychology.

Basically, the coaching process is successful because it empowers clients to draw on their own internal strengths, help develop self-knowledge and embrace self-management strategies in order to make the often-challenging lifestyle changes necessary for optimal health-that includes chronic debilitating issues from arthritic conditions, diabetes, PTSD, cardiovascular issues and more. In other words, I help move you beyond the diagnosis-prescription model to co-create and execute a plan with you that inspires you, the client, to a path of better health. I provide a compassionate environment that starts with listening to you and your health story!

I'm offering reduced rates and a free 15-minute intro and assessment to get acquainted.  

I do request a minimum 3 sessions (at $45) that would be no less than 20 minutes and no more than 30.  After that you are free to quit or continue.  The rate after that can be a sliding scale.

My standard rate for a 45-minute session (accepting sliding scale) is $50.

There is an additional $10 fee charged for every 15 minutes over one hour.

I do offer email and or text support between ongoing sessions. Advanced booking for a package of 12 sessions, scheduled either once a week or every other week, is a total prepaid fee of $500. Sessions are generally remote by Zoom, telephone, or arranged face to face (currently still mask to mask).
