Note that the answer to this question may change within the next few months!

As of January 1, 2024, Medicare will be covering health coaching, however details are not yet available.

At this time, most insurance companies are not covering health coaching, however yours may.  My recommendation is to contact your insurance provider and ask if health and wellness coaching is a covered service using CPT CODES 0591T, 0592T, or 0593T. In instances where they will cover coaching, I am able to provide a superbill that you can submit for reimbursement.

Most likely yes!

You will need a letter of medical necessity, from your medical provider. Your HSA/FSA provider will likely have a simple form on their website that can be used for this purpose.

The letter must include a medical diagnosis that supports the need for services. Your HSA/FSA should be able to answer any questions regarding this process. Once you have this letter from your medical provider, you can pay using your FSA or HSA card, just as you would a credit card.

Coaching is most effective when it is experienced consistently, over a period of time.  That said, let's have a chat and see what makes the most sense for you and your situation.

Let's talk! I strive to provide options to meet the needs of all income levels.

If you are unable to attend a 1:1 session, you are responsible for notifying me at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled session. Any missed sessions or sessions cancelled with less than 24-hours notice will be considered "no shows". No-show sessions will be deducted from your paid sessions and cannot be rescheduled.

I understand that in life there are emergencies that occur less than 24 hours in advance of the scheduled session and at my discretion, will allow one last-minute missed session without penalty.

*Please note that 1:1 packages have expiration dates.  Extra weeks are built into package, to allow for adequate time to use the sessions. For example, a 3 month package is 10 sessions and are expected to be used up within 12 weeks. These details will be in your coaching agreement.

Working with me is different than anything you have tried before

I provide a judgment-free space full of compassion, kindness, positivity, and support.

I believe that everyone’s journey is unique — both the one that has brought you here and the one that will take you where you want to be.

I view the change process as a series of experiments we’ll work on together. Through exploration, trial, and error, we’ll discover what works for you and brings you joy as you move forward toward your goals.

There are no rigid 'have-to-do's' when working with me. Many clients come to me frustrated because they’ve been told they 'have to' do something, even when it doesn't interest them, doesn’t align with their values, or doesn't fit into their lives

Instead, we'll create a personalized approach that respects your preferences and fits into your life, while helping you make lasting, positive changes.

You have access to me via secure messaging in the Practice Better Client Portal.

This support is unlimited (while you are a client) M-F during normal business hours.

I will not be telling you what to do!

And really, as an independent adult with your own unique personality and circumstances, you probably wouldn’t want cookie-cutter instructions anyway!

In our work together, you are the expert on you. You’ll always have the final say in what your goals are and how you’ll achieve them. My role is to guide, support, and help you uncover the strategies that work best for you.

As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, I work within the scope of my role—meaning I won’t prescribe medical treatments, design a diet plan, or tell you exactly what exercises to do. However, if you or I feel that additional support would be beneficial, I can assist with referrals to other providers as needed.

I specialize in supporting people who are navigating stress, weight struggles, chronic conditions, and mid-life changes as they work toward making sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes.

I KNOW you’ve struggled. If you’re like many of my clients, you carry a heavy emotional load when it comes to your weight, health, diet, and exercise. Maybe you’ve felt unheard, dismissed, or even scolded by doctors. Maybe you’ve been given strict rules that feel impossible to follow—or ones you have no interest in following.

That’s where I come in. Together, we’ll break free from the cycle of frustration and create a realistic, sustainable approach to your health—one that works for you, not against you.

Health coaching is different.  My approach is different. 

I offer practical, evidence-based strategies that fit seamlessly into your life, rather than quick fixes, restrictive diets, and confusing information that can feel overwhelming and frustrating.

First and foremost:

• My coaching is rooted in positive psychology, tapping into your strengths, and moving you forward in a way that aligns with who you truly are
• Coaching isn't about telling you what to do; rather it's about helping you explore strategies that work for you and support your health goals.
• I offer a compassionate, whole-person, weight-inclusive approach to health.
• I provide a gentle, supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to build new healthy habits and improve your overall wellbeing.
• I believe everyone has the capacity for positive change, and I am passionate about helping you find that capacity within yourself.
• I help people become more aware of how their daily habits can influence their long-term well-being.

As a health coach, I combine my education, training, and experience with an evidence-based coaching model to help you create sustainable, healthy behaviors. My approach focuses on whole-person wellbeing, recognizing that health is more than just numbers (such as weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.) or a disease diagnosis. Using the Wheel of Health, we will explore how all areas of your life contribute to your overall wellbeing.

Coaching is about helping you move away from approaches that may not have worked in the past and towards a strategy based on what truly motivates you. I will help you develop a personalized health plan that reflects your goals, taps into your strengths, and fits your unique life.

Your journey will be entirely individual. Everyone is different, so no one’s path is the same. We will work together to identify what works best for you. Think of coaching as a series of experiments—trial and adjustment—until we discover what clicks for you.

Along the way, I will support you as you uncover obstacles, develop strategies for overcoming them, and gain insight into what motivates you, what holds you back, and how to move forward.

Most importantly, we will establish the support and accountability that will set you up for long-term success in a sustainable way.

Information and Education

At its core, health coaching is about behavior change.

However, with the overwhelming amount of health information available, many clients seek clarity and guidance.

As a registered nurse and lifestyle medicine health coach, I rely on evidence-based science to guide our approach. Research supports the idea that lifestyle changes in areas such as plant-forward nutrition, regular movement, restorative sleep, stress management, social connections, and avoiding harmful substances can play a significant role in improving overall health and potentially preventing or managing chronic conditions.

In group coaching, we’ll explore generalized, evidence-based health information. Together, we will discuss how this information can be applied to your life and how you can use it to develop new, healthier habits.

In 1:1 coaching, when relevant and with your consent, I will share health information that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
