FAQ’s

Q: What is a health coach?

A. The role of a health coach is very similar to any coach; health coaches guide, support, encourage and empower their clients to take steps towards sustainable behavior change to improve their health and well-being. Health coaches encourage the analysis of lifestyle factors and support clients in altering, changing, or eliminating harmful habits while motivating clients to choose nourishing practices. Often the goal of the client-coach relationship is to find solutions to the client's health concerns while working to accomplish the client's health goals.

Coaches can’t do the work for you, when you work with a coach you are the one making the changes. The health coach provides accountability and assistance while the client makes lifestyle changes that can sometimes be too difficult to sustain on their own.

Q: Who do you work with?

A. I work with women who are looking to improve their health holistically, particularly those struggling with hormone imbalances, birth control options, gut health issues, autoimmune issues, and sustainable weight loss. My clients are often dealing with concerns like irregular cycles, fatigue, bloating, and stubborn weight gain and want a root-cause approach rather than a quick fix.

While I primarily work with women, my Optimal Health Program is also a great fit for men who want to improve their health through a functional, holistic approach. Men dealing with gut issues, fatigue, weight management struggles, or hormonal imbalances (such as high stress, blood sugar issues, or low energy levels) can benefit from the same foundational strategies I use with women.

The best way to determine if we are a good fit is to book a free consultation. Book here.

***Please be aware that I do not work with every client who books a consultation call. I am selective in who I work with so I can bring the best value to all my clients.

Q: What is outside of your scope of practice?

A. As a NBHWC Board-Certified Health Coach, my scope of practice focuses on guiding and educating clients on lifestyle changes, nutrition, stress management, and holistic wellness strategies. However, there are several areas outside of my scope:

🚫 Medical Diagnosis & Treatment – I do not diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, or provide medical treatment. I collaborate with clinicians for that!
🚫 Lab Testing & Interpretation – The clinicians (MD + NP’s) I work with order and interpret lab tests.
🚫 Personalized Medical or Nutritional Plans – I offer general nutritional guidance but do not create medical nutrition therapy plans for specific conditions.
🚫 Physical Therapy or Fitness Prescriptions – I do not design exercise programs for injury rehabilitation or medical conditions.
🚫 Mental Health Therapy – While I support emotional well-being, I am not a licensed therapist and do not provide psychological counseling.

I work collaboratively with healthcare providers to support my clients in achieving their wellness goals within my scope.

Q: Do you take insurance?

No, I do not accept insurance and that’s actually a good thing for you!

Here’s why:

Insurance companies typically only cover conventional, symptom-based treatments, which often means quick fixes instead of true healing. My approach focuses on root-cause health solutions, advanced functional lab testing, and personalized care… none of which are dictated by insurance restrictions.

By working outside the insurance system, you get:
✅ More comprehensive care…not just what insurance allows
✅ Access to advanced lab testing that insurance won’t cover
✅ Longer, more in-depth sessions with a focus on you, not paperwork
✅ Faster results since you don’t need referrals or approvals

Investing in your health now saves you time, energy, and money in the long run, helping you feel better without the limitations of the traditional system.

Q: What are your credentials?

A. I am a Board-Certified Health Coach (NBHWC) with a BS in Psychology from Kennesaw State University. I also hold a Health Coaching Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and have over four years of experience in women’s health, weight loss, and functional medicine coaching. My focus is on helping women navigate hormone health, gut health, and sustainable lifestyle changes.

I also collaborate with clinicians to provide clients with a functional medicine approach to health. While they focus on medical diagnosis, labs, supplements and treatment, I support clients in implementing sustainable lifestyle and nutrition changes to complement their care.

Q: Where do sessions take place?

A.Zoom is the preferred option by most but we can conduct coaching sessions over the phone, via Zoom, or in person (limited to the Salt Lake City, Utah area). We can discuss the details in your Consultation Call which you can book here.

Q: Do you offer discounts?

A. Occasionally! I will announce sales and discounts occasionally and you will have access to that information if you are subscribed to my monthly newsletter which you can do below. Or follow me on Instagram!
