Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why work with a health coach? What is the value?

    Self help and health information is widely available at our fingertips now more than ever thanks to technology. But have you ever finished a self help book or ted talk - felt all fired up and inspired for change - yet still finding yourself stuck in patterns that do not serve you? 

    This is where coaching comes in. It fills the gap between consuming information + taking action towards sustainable change.

    Our nervous system is designed to keep us safe, and does so by seeking out patterns and predictability - even if they do not serve us. When a behavior is repeated often, the brain forms strong neural pathways, essentially creating an "autopilot" mode where the action becomes automatic, triggered by cues in the environment, and releases dopamine which reinforces the habit. This makes it hard to resist even when consciously trying to change. This means our brains are essentially wired to repeat familiar behaviors, even if they are not beneficial.

    Coaching can help build new neural pathways by repetitively helping you focus your attention on desired changes and create new connections in your brain. This process is called neuroplasticity, and it's the brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself.

  • What's the process?

    I highly suggest booking a discovery session to explore how my services can benefit you and to determine our compatibility. It's crucial for me to provide the support you need, and equally crucial for you to feel confident in my role as your coach. During our initial conversation, we'll pinpoint the areas you're looking to improve, bring into focus your goals and aspirations, and collaboratively set objectives. That's when the transformation truly begins! When working together, I'll be there to hold you accountable, equip you with the precise tools and techniques required, and offer unwavering support throughout our partnership!

  • How do I book a free discovery call with you?
  • How do coaching sessions take place?
  • How does coaching differ from therapy?
  • How is a health coach different from a dietician, nutritionist or personal trainer?

    Dietitians and nutritionists plan and conduct food service or nutritional programs to help people lead healthy lives.

    Personal trainers helps clients achieve their fitness goals by creating and implementing personalized training programs.

    Health coaches do not prescribe any specific diet or fitness plans. They help clients take action to make sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. They help clients identify root causes to health concerns, set goals, and provide guidance and accountability to reach those goals. 

  • What does "holistic" health coaching mean?

    My holistic approach to health goes beyond a surface level consideration of only diet and exercise. We dig deeper into the root causes for any imbalances to your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

  • How do I know if holistic health coaching is right for me?

    Health coaching could be the right fit if you’re experiencing any of the following imbalances:

    • Anxiety and mood swings
    • Hopelessness
    • Overweight or underweight
    • Burn out and overstimulation 
    • Gut issues
    • Loneliness and feelings of disconnection
    • Fatigue and exhaustion 
    • Sleep issues
    • Inflammation
    • Stress
    • Poor nutrition & hydration
    • Overconsumption of alcohol, sugar and processed foods

    Get started by booking a free discovery call if you are ready to:

    • Start showing up for yourself by digging into the root causes of any imbalances that are affecting your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health
    • Explore how your habitual thoughts, choices, and behaviors are affecting how you feel and break free from unhealthy intergenerational cycles and patterns that do not serve you
    • Get out of your own way and get unstuck from binge-restrict cycles & all or nothing thinking to reach more balance
    • Take action by breaking out of auto-pilot to become consciously more self aware, empowered, and intentional with incorporating healthier lifestyle habits that are actually sustainable 
    • Reconnect with body wisdom and your mind-body connection to feel your best naturally 
    • Become the EXPERT of YOU to grow into the healthiest version of yourself on a holistic level
