As a wellness coach, I support positive behavior change through:

• Stress-management skills

• Sustainable habit formation

• Mindset work (clarifying locus of control and building confidence in decision-making)

• Practical education around nutrition and movement

While this work complements medical care, I am not a clinician and do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe.

I believe informed consent is foundational to good care. I work best alongside providers who take a patient-first approach and I respect both modern and herbal medicine.

I also believe that nutrition, movement, and lifestyle are powerful therapeutic tools for many conditions. With that in mind, I prioritize supporting clients in adhering to treatment plans created by their medical and mental health teams rather than replacing them.

Wellness coaching is often most helpful for:

• Chronically overwhelmed or stressed patients

• Patients who struggle with lifestyle changes, ADHD, or anxiety

• Clients seeking practical, low-tox lifestyle guidance

• People who need support implementing recommendations already given by their provider

It is recommended to postpone wellness coaching for individuals with:

• Active eating disorders or need for medical nutrition therapy

• Acute mental health needs or need for psychotherapy

• Uncontrolled medical conditions requiring higher-level care

Wellness coaching can benefit many people; however, I carefully consider timing and coordination of care to ensure each client is supported appropriately before beginning sessions.

I view wellness coaching as part of a collaborative care model, recognizing that different levels of care are essential to whole-person wellness.

I work alongside providers to:

• Support behavior change between clinic visits, and

• Provide step-down support as patients transition out of higher levels of care.

I also offer an optional consent for release of information to clients that allows me to share progress and discussions from sessions with their care team.

Wellness coaching is a private-pay, out-of-pocket service and is not billable to medical insurance.

Some clients may be eligible for reimbursement through FSA/HSA accounts with a Letter of Medical Necessity. Clients are responsible for requesting any reimbursement documentation as needed.
