FAQs

Is coaching right for me? 

There are so many ways you can benefit from the support of a knowledgeable health and wellness coach. For example, you will benefit if: 

  • You are having difficulty building routines around mindful nourishment

  • You are currently taking a GLP-1 medication and want support implementing clinical recommendations

  • You want to build new behaviors around exercise and movement but feel “stuck”

  • You struggle to maintain work-life balance and are feeling the effects of chronic stress 

  • You often feel as though you have “lost” yourself and want to live with greater authenticity and confidence

Essentially, if you can envision a new way to be, a strong coach can help bridge the gap between what you are currently experiencing and what you WANT to be experiencing. Additionally, if you feel lost and are unsure what your next move is, a coach can help you clarify your desires and co-create the path to get you there. Let’s walk the path together!

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

A therapist is trained and licensed to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using a variety of approaches. Therapists typically spend more time delving into family and personal history to uncover the “why” behind patterns of thinking or behaving that are not serving clients. One way to think of therapy is that it helps the client answer the question, “How did I get HERE?” 

A coach, on the other hand, spends more time helping a client answer the question, “How do I get THERE?” “There” being a desirable point in the future. A certified coach is trained in how to help clients clarify their desires, explore barriers or false narratives that are not serving them and set achievable goals. Expert coaches know how to listen and ask the right questions to help clients find their truth in any situation. A coach cannot diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching is not therapy, but the coach-client relationship can be very therapeutic and clients often have great success when they seek support from both therapists and coaches.  

Do you accept insurance for coaching services?

No, insurance is not accepted as a form of payment for coaching sessions. However, if you have an FSA/HSA account and are seeking health coaching services, you may be able to reimburse yourself to pay for the cost of coaching.
