Frequently asked questions

Yes, I am fully insured with professional liability insurance. This is to ensure a secure and trustworthy coaching experience for all clients.

Health coaches guide and support clients in making meaningful lifestyle changes to improve their overall well-being. They do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, prescribe medications or supplements, or provide therapy. Instead, their role focuses on education, motivation, and empowering clients to find their own answers while developing healthy sustainable habits.

Various aspects of our lives influence our overall well-being. BestSelf addresses a wide variety of health goals, some of them are:

• Physical health: nutrition, exercise, sleep, weight management
• Emotional and mental well-being: stress management, mindset
• Spiritual growth: purpose and meaning, mindfulness
• Other areas: chronic condition management, behavior change

The process of health coaching progresses through several stages:

• You provide background information through a well-being inventory so that you and your coach are well-informed on the key issues, 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, you and your coach 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 three months, 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.

While health coaching is increasingly recognized, most major health insurance providers do not currently cover health coaching.

Please check with your specific health insurance plan administrator to find out if they may approve using Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for health coaching services.
