Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the cost of not investing in my health versus investing in coaching?
Ignoring your health can lead to costly problems like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, fatigue, heart disease, and even lost workdays due to stress or illness. Over time, the medical costs and reduced quality of life far exceed the price of prevention.
Health coaching is an affordable, proactive solution—helping you improve your wellbeing now, reduce your risk of chronic illness, and avoid future healthcare bills. Investing in coaching is investing in a healthier, longer, and more active life.
Can coaching work with or instead of weight-loss injections like Wegovy or Mounjaro?
Yes. Recent reports highlight that many patients regain weight after stopping GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro. Coaching fills the gap by helping you build healthy habits, improve nutrition, and manage triggers so that results are sustainable long-term.
Whether you’re taking medication or prefer a drug-free approach, coaching helps change behaviours at the root—something injections alone cannot do.
How does coaching help with mindset, values, and building healthy habits?
Lasting change starts in your mind. Coaching helps you align your habits with your core values, uncover what's been holding you back, and build confidence. Together, we create realistic routines for food, sleep, movement, and stress management that are easy to maintain—even with a busy life or family commitments.
What lifestyle-related conditions can health coaching help with?
Health coaching can support people dealing with:
Type 2 diabetes & prediabetes
Weight management challenges & emotional eating
High blood pressure & heart disease risk
Stress, anxiety & burnout
Poor sleep & low energy/fatigue
Joint pain & mobility issues linked to inactivity
Digestive issues (bloating, IBS related to diet & stress)
Hormonal changes (peri-menopause, menopause, thyroid)
Military life transitions (deployment stress, routine disruption)
Through tailored coaching, clients learn practical skills to manage these problems, reduce risks, and feel healthier day-to-day.
How long until I see results, and what does the process look like?
Weeks 1–2: Assess lifestyle & set clear, achievable goals.
Weeks 3–8: Build better habits in nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management.
Weeks 9–12: Strengthen routines and focus on long-term success.
Many clients notice more energy, better sleep, improved confidence, and steady weight loss within 2–4 weeks..
Do I need a doctor’s referral, or can I start health coaching on my own?
You don’t need a referral to work with a health coach. Coaching is designed to complement your medical care, not replace it. If you have a diagnosed condition (like diabetes or high blood pressure), I can work alongside your healthcare provider to help you improve your habits, follow your care plan, and reduce health risks naturally.
For those without a diagnosis, coaching is a preventive, proactive step to improve overall wellness, manage weight, reduce stress, and avoid future health problems—no doctor’s note required.
Why is coaching offered as 12-session packages (and not just single sessions)?
Health coaching is about lasting change, not quick fixes. The 12-session format is designed to give you enough time to:
Build sustainable habits step by step, without overwhelm.
Stay accountable with regular check-ins and support.
Develop independence, so you can maintain progress long after coaching ends.
These sessions can be completed weekly or spaced out over several months, depending on your needs and lifestyle. This flexible approach ensures you get guidance when you need it most, while learning to take control of your health for good—without becoming dependent on a coach.
