About
Health Coaching is a unique art. In this private program, we will work to establish your goals, and we will also come up with a plan to achieve those goals.
What is a Health & Wellness Coach?
A health & Wellness coach is a supportive part of our medical paradigm. We do not diagnose, label, or give advice. We don't suggest "fixes." We honor your starting point and partner with you, as you navigate through your unique transformational journey.
This is a collaborative relationship with an individual, or group, interested in enhancing their well-being through self-directed lasting changes, aligned with their core values. The coach reveres the fact the client is an expert on one's own life and we are the support role. We assist clients in activating internal strengths, while tapping into external resources to make sustainable and healthy lifestyle behavior changes. All interactions are professional, respectful, non-judgmental and confidential.

Common Questions?
Can I have a psychotherapist and a health coach?
Yes. In many cases, clients have both a coach and a therapist.
What is the difference between a psychotherapist and a coach?
Therapists focus on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Coaches focus on setting goals, improving performance, and creating actionable, forward-looking strategies for personal and/or professional growth.
