WHAT IS HEALTH COACHING?

And why are coaches so important?

You open a package of tomato seeds.  You plant one of those seeds in rich fertile soil and then you plant another seed in a toxic waste dump with just a thin layer of lifeless soil.  Same seed, same DNA, but one bares beautiful fruit while the other one can barely eek out a few sad tomatoes.  You are not a victim; you can create a nourishing environment for your DNA.  You may just need some help. 

​

Who Needs a Coach?

​

Basketball players wouldn't dream of not having a coach. They recognize that they need a coach to help them be successful. Gymnasts, dancers, musicians and even top-level executives have coaches. Yet, we think we should be able to be successfully navigate the many health challenges of modern life without one. That's ridiculous!  We can all benefit from a coach to help us through life. 

​

How Will a Coach Help You?

​

You don't feel great. You know what you have to do to feel better. Yet somehow you can't seem to do it. For pretty much everyone, breaking unhealthy habits and making healthy new ones can be quite difficult. The fact is, we all need support and guidance when we are making changes, large and small.  No matter where you are in your life, it's never too late for a fresh start. 

​

So many of our modern maladies (from insomnia to diabetes) can be improved or possibly even avoided by committing to healthier practices regarding food and nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Our habits around these things largely determine whether we age in health or in sickness. And believe it or not, even small changes can have a big impact on our overall wellbeing.  

​

A commitment to a coach is a commitment to yourself. And a commitment to yourself is a commitment to your loved ones. You are worth it and so are they.

COACHING PACKAGES

Let's Do This!

Green Goodness
Lotus Pose

HEALTHY HABITS PACKAGE

Foundation Plus Six

The 7 session package is recommended if you have been struggling a bit and are looking to make a bigger change for whatever reason.  The 90 minute foundational session will take a health history, look into your big picture vision and set some goals.  The next 5 forty minute sessions we will work to making the changes, and I will support you through discussion, encouragement, inspiration and helping to hold you accountable.  The last session will be a follow up session one month after the 6th session.  This session will check in, see how your momentum is going and make any adjustments you need going forward.

EASY DOES IT PACKAGE

Foundation Plus Three

We begin with a 90 minute "get to know you" foundational session that explores your health history, your challenges, and your goals. The three 40 minute sessions that follow will continue to follow the thread and support you on your path to feeling better!

Red Drink
Business Consultation

TIME SAVERS PLAN

For Busy People

This is a focused version of the Healthy Habits package.  We will do a foundation plus six but instead of 50 minute sessions we will do 20 minute sessions and really pack everything into that shorter time.  We get right to the point and stay on task.  


If you are a person who thrives with tight time constraints or simply is limited in your ability to find more time in the day, then this package is for you.  

SINGLE STRATEGY SESSION

90 minutes, one issue

We get right to work on an issue that you want to address and send you off with a clear plan to achieve success. 

​

This is for self-starters and people who just need a quick strategy session with a coach in order to get some momentum toward their goal.
