Frequently Asked Questions
What type of people do you work with?
My passion is to work with women who are trying to live a healthier life but need a little assistance putting it all together. I love working with people who are trying to lose weight, eat healthier, and exercise more.
Why hire a health coach?A health coach provides encouragement, motivation, support, and opportunities for greater growth. As a health coach I desire to see everyone live a healthy life, regardless of how difficult or how often they may have failed in the past.
How long do people work with a health coach?The length of time depends upon each person and their needs. Some people may only need it for 3 months, while others may need the partnership on a continually basis. I believe a person will receive the maximum benefits from health coaching for at least 6 months, in order to make lasting change.
How are health coaching sessions structured?Coaching fees usually include up to 3 formal coaching appointments per month, conducted by phone, for the duration of 45 minutes. This fee also includes short exchanges via email or telephone during the week for updates, encouragement, or questions.
Does health coaching need to occur in person?No. Coaching can be done via the telephone from anywhere in the world and from the comfort of your home. In coaching location doesn't matter. A person does not seem to gain a better coaching outcome from face-to-face coaching. In fact, most coaching isn't done face-to-face but by the telephone.
Why do most people imagine that coaching should occur in person?Coaching is a relatively new field; therefore, many people view it as being similar to therapy. Therefore, to have effective coaching it needs to occur face-to-face. Coaching is very different from therapy. Therapy looks at a person's past and asks questions such as Why. However, in coaching we look at the present and a person's future.

Is coaching like therapy? Is coaching only for people with problems?
No and No. Coaching is for people who are highly successful but desire more success and fulfillment in there life. Coaching does not involve digging into one's past and discovering why a person is they way they are. Coaching looks towards the future and what a person desires for tomorrow.
