1:1 Coaching

Putting Down Roots

Our first two meetings will be all about getting to know you your goals, and the things keeping you from achieving them. During these 1 hour sessions, we’ll do a deep dive into what brought you here, your dreams and desires, your experiences and challenges, and begin to carve out our journey together. Here, we build trust and connection and learn how to best work together to support you and your goals.

Nourish to Flourish

Once we have the foundations covered, we move into our 30 minute sessions. Because I use a very personalized approach, this will look different for each client but throughout these sessions we will be facilitating the change process together. Using a client-centered approach, I will help guide the discussion, honoring what’s most important, and providing guidance when needed. 30 minutes isn’t very long, and this is because the tools you’ll be gaining are best utilized in your actual life! Having short sessions allows us to focus on what’s important and orient towards action while still creating a safe space to have the meaningful conversations that inspire growth.

It’s Your Garden to Tend To

When we aren’t in session, I will be available using a secure texting platform, so you can reach out when something comes up that deserves attention right away. I want clients to feel supported and connected in the interim between our face-to-face meetings if there’s a specific challenge that comes up that day, your feeling sticky and need a little boost, you need some accountability, or you just took a big step an want to celebrate!

FAQ’s

  • In short, coaches work with individuals and groups in a client-centered process to facilitate and empower the client to develop and achieve self-determined goals related to health and wellness. Often times, a coach will have a niche or specialty and work with clients on a specific area of wellness.

    Coaching has a lot in common with therapy in that they’re both backed by psychology, and the work involves leading clients to self-discovery and personal transformation in a safe and nurturing environment.

    However, coaches are NOT licensed to diagnose, prescribe, or treat and are not trained to provide therapeutic interventions (unless they have another credential that allows them to do so). If a coach believes that a client would be better served by a licensed therapist or other practitioner, we refer out.

    While technically anyone can call themselves a coach, there is a scope that most coaches adhere to, particularly National Board Certified Coaches, who must graduate from an approved program and pass a board exam. The National Board of Health and Wellness coaches sets the highest standard in the field of coaching, thus creating a defined space for coaching in the healthcare system.

  • A misconception about health coaching is that it's only about fitness or nutrition which couldn't be further from the truth. While there is no doubt that these are two areas of health that many people seek help in, they aren't the end all be all of our health.

    Coaches can have many different specialties, and as the field evolves, there are more spaces being carved out for coaching

    This list is certainly not exhaustive but to name some other areas... stress reduction, sleep hygiene, social connection, chronic condition management, spiritual wellness, navigating life transitions, and so on.

  • Unfortunately there isn't a straight answer to this and that is because everyone has a unique set of circumstances that makes their "roadmap" to change look entirely different than everyone else. Health coaching is holistic and takes a bio-individual approach to each client.

    However, coaches do have limitations over how long we work with clients and there is usually a set "end". The ultimate goal in health coaching is to work our way out of a job, so ending the relationship should be a positive thing. Working with someone forever wouldn't be ethical or supportive to their progress but change takes time and we ultimately want our clients to do what's right for them, whether that means continuing with coaching or not.
