Health and wellness coaching is an important service that supports individuals in any stage of health. To qualify to use your HSA/FSA account to pay for these services, they must be tied to the prevention, treatment, or management of a medical condition. Please speak with your physician about qualifying for a signed Letter of Medical Necessity to submit to your HSA/FSA provider.

Yes! I absolutely welcome all motivated clients.

BestSelf wellcoaching takes a whole-person approach. If you're feeling stuck in any aspect of your health and wellness and have thought to yourself, "I should really start/stop/cut down on _______" but can't seem to start the momentum, or keep it going, that's where I come in.

I support building healthier habits and creating sustainable routines around things like:

• better nutrition, movement, restful sleep, and weight management
• finding meaning, purpose, values, inner steadiness
• reducing overwhelm, stress, strengthen coping skills, emotional regulation

Health coaches guide and support you to improve the habits and environments that influence your health every day. 

We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, prescribe medications or supplements, or provide therapy. We don't replace your physician or provide quick fixes.

We help you put your physician's recommendations into practical action while remaining within scope and reinforcing the care plan set by your healthcare team.

A health coach's role focuses on behavior change through education, motivation, and empowering clients to find their own answers while developing healthy sustainable habits.

The process of health coaching progresses through several stages:

• During the 30-minute onboarding session, we review the Coaching Services Agreement before signing and you'll get a link to the Well-being Inventory. The Well-Being Inventory is used to help gain insight to specific areas where you may need support, including medical considerations.
• During the initial 90-minute coaching session, you identify your priorities and develop a personal wellness plan including a vision, three-month goals, and the first steps. 
• In subsequent 60-minute coaching sessions, we review the progress toward your vision and goals, explore and resolve the most pressing issues, learn something new, and then agree on a set of goals for the following week. You will enjoy plenty of ah-ha moments along the way!
• By the end of the 12 weeks, you can expect to reach more than 70% of your three-month goals and feel energized and confident to embark on new areas with or without your coach.

All sessions are conducted virtually through video calls using Google Meet. A phone call option is also available for flexibility and convenience.
