In traditional healthcare, the primary care provider is seen as the driver and controller of health while the patient has a passive role. In lifestyle coaching, the client is the driver while the coach provides education, guidance, support, lifestyle interventions, and resources to help achieve improved health.

Lifestyle choices are the cause of 80% of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, among others. While traditional healthcare seeks to treat chronic conditions, lifestyle interventions seek to prevent, manage, and reverse lifestyle-related diseases. Lifestyle interventions have been proven to prevent and reverse chronic diseases allowing individuals to reduce medication use, reduce disease burden, and increase quality of life and wellbeing.

To explore one on one coaching opportunities, complete the lifestyle health and wellness intake questionnaire and schedule your free phone consultation. During this intial consultation, I will provide recommendations and next steps. Typically, a client will use my services for a minimum of 6 months. Visits will be entirely virtual with video and audio components. Once you become a client, you will have access to the client portal where you can send me messages, see care plans and goals along with your progress.

No, my services are designed to complement your healthcare and are not a replacement for your primary care provider. I will not be discontinuing your medications or starting new ones, but we will work to get to the place, through lifestyle interventions, where your primary care provider along with your input can change/stop your medications due to significant improvement and/or reversal of your chronic conditions.

Members in my group coaching club will meet together virtually on a monthly basis. We will discuss different topic areas that will be tailored to those in the group based on health/wellness goals. You will have access to an individual client portal as well as group chats to encourage, support, and challenge one another in between our meetings. Group coaching contracts are 6 months in length. Group coaching is a wonderful option for those who benefit from accountability and support from peers and enjoy a group setting. Group coaching is not a great option for those who have more complex, detailed health/wellness concerns which typically require 1:1 coaching. If you’re uncertain if group coaching is the right option for you just ask!

I do not bill insurance or accept HSA or FSA methods of payment.
