What is Health Coaching?
What is FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
Why do you feel the way you do? What role do diet and lifestyle play in your everyday life? Instead of quick-fix prescriptions and band-aids, Functional Medicine asks why your body is sending the signals that it is.
“Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.” -The Institute for Functional Medicine.
Why do you only offer SESSIONS IN packages?
Due to the time it takes for the magic of coaching to happen, packages are the best way to commit to a belief in sustainable change. Your stories from past, present and future are equally important in this journey, and it takes time to weave all of these pieces together into your full story.
What is a health & wellness coach?
Functional Medicine Certified Health Coaches are trained in Positive Psychology, Functional Medicine Principles and Behavior Change. Instead of telling clients how to change their lives through fad diets, rigorous exercise and structure, we partner with you to find your own intrinsic motivation for change. You hold all the answers you need, we’re just here to help you get there.
what can i expect when i sign up for a package?
Regardless of the package you choose, we will always start with a 60-minute Foundation Session. This session gives you a chance to tell me your story and where you’re at in life. What are you struggling with? What changes do you wish you could make, but feel unable to make them? And - maybe most importantly, what are your core values as an individual that make you special? From there, the rest of our 30-minute sessions are spent discussing goals, celebrating wins (no matter how big or small), and focusing on what the next small step is and how to get there.
why do i need a health coach?
When was the last time you truly felt listened to in regards to your health & wellness journey? So often, patients are made to feel helpless and powerless over their own health choices and decisions. Why won’t that nagging pain go away? Why do I have to take another medication? Health Coaches are here to listen to your story, your feelings and your own knowledge of your body to help you navigate the next step in your health journey.
cAN HEALTH COACHES DIAGNOSE, TREAT & PRESCRIBE?
Unlike Doctors, Nutritionists and Therapists, Health Coaches are not here to diagnose and/or treat illness. Our value lies in meeting you where you are in your journey, and helping you take that next step toward positive change. That said, we’re also happy to partner with Doctors, Nutritionists and Therapists to ensure that you feel supported and heard.
