Health Coaching
*Any coaching program with me includes life coaching. Please review my methodology here
Recipe I used for recovery: 1.) Find people who got well 2.) Ask them what they did 3.) Do that
After spending three years healing from a complicated and life-changing Lyme disease diagnosis, I was inspired to help others do the same. I’ve been in the trenches myself, and, with support, I climbed out. Talking to those who understood what I was experiencing when I was sick was essential for me, and I believe it is essential for everyone in the throes of illnesses as misunderstood as Lyme and other autoimmune and mystery illnesses. It’s the empathy that breaks down the daily isolation and leaves my clients with hope. Read more about my story here.
My health coaching program is for people who are open to healing from the inside out and willing to look at all areas of their life – the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Here is some of what we cover
Therapeutic Support/ Trauma Support
I offer compassionate emotional support as the full-spectrum of feelings reveal themselves. We will work on what feelings come up, why they’re there, and how to navigate them without pushing them away and without letting them control you. We will work in a way that optimizes your well being and sets you free. You will be an expert in listening to yourself and comforting yourself before you know it!
Medical Advocacy and Strategy
I am not a doctor or a medical professional. As a patient and patient advocate, I will review your diagnosis, your bloodwork, your treatment plan, and I will offer strategic advice for how to best make use of your existing resources and insurance options, and how to find new ones.
Navigating Romance
One of the hardest things while navigating illness is also navigating love, and there are few guidelines and resources in this area. I was in a committed relationship throughout illness and am still with the same person today- I have experience with maintaining long-lasting romance in the face of often terrifying medical information. We will talk through how much to share; how much to involve your partner (or prospective partner!); and how to lovingly but powerfully maintain boundaries so that health can always come first.
Resources
I will share resources, as appropriate, that have helped me in my healing journey. Doctors, healers, insurance brokers, websites, nutritionists, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, therapists, books, and podcasts.
Spiritual Support
Learning how to regulate your own nervous system is hugely important as you heal. We will dive into inner-child work and self-love. You will leave our time together equipped with the tools you need to be emotionally self-supporting—something paramount to healing.
How I Work
We PARTNER. Coaching with me is intimate, personal, and deep. When a person becomes a client, they become a top priority of mine. This is high-impact, high-commitment, and high-investment coaching. The minimum coaching agreement is six months.
All coaching begins with a conversation.
We will begin your work right away at no cost.
My coaching is not the right fit for everybody and getting into the work up front is required to see if we are a fit. No strings attached.
When you’re ready, so am I. Schedule your free call NOW.
The only way out is through, but you do not have to walk alone. Whatever is going on for you, I believe you, and I am here to support you on your journey.
