Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is personal development and wellness coaching?
Personal development and wellness coaching is a collaborative process where I support you in crafting a clearer your vision for personal health, lifestyle, and emotional well-being goals and then support you in an ongoing process towards making that a reality. It’s about creating sustainable habits, exploring and overcoming challenges, and empowering you to actualize your potential.
Can you diagnose or treat medical conditions?
No, health and wellness coaches do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe medication for medical conditions. Coaches do not replace healthcare providers. Instead, they work alongside to compliment and enhance a client’s healthcare team to provide support in behavior change, goal setting, and habit development. Coaches can encourage clients to seek medical advice when necessary.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you set and achieve specific goals. Therapy often involves healing from past trauma or addressing mental health concerns. Coaching is action-oriented and designed for individuals ready to make changes and move forward.
What can I expect from a coaching session?
Each session is tailored to your needs and goals. We’ll explore what’s working and what’s not, identify obstacles, and create actionable steps to move forward. Sessions are a mix of discussion, strategic planning, and accountability.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on your goals and commitment. Some clients notice changes within a few sessions, while others work on long-term transformation over several months. Coaching is a process, and progress builds over time. Consistency is a key factor in this process as well, which is why I also offer a discount for multiple sessions.
Do you provide specific advice or a set plan to follow?
Rather than giving a rigid plan in our sessions, I provide and employ guidance, tools, and frameworks to help you discover solutions that align with your values and lifestyle. This ensures the changes are sustainable and feel authentic to you.
Can you help with specific health issues like weight loss or managing stress?
Yes, I am, at heart, a behavioral change expert and I specialize in areas such as managing burnout, improving focus, addressing obesity and insulin resistance, building healthier routines, and overall stress management. While I’m not a medical professional, I can complement your existing care with actionable strategies and support.
Can your give me a diet plan?
A health and wellness coach can offer guidance on nutrition and help clients develop healthier eating habits, but they do not create specific, individualized diet plans. Coaches may refer clients to registered dietitians or nutritionists when more specialized dietary guidance is needed.
How do I know if a personal development and wellness coach is the right fit for me?
A personal development and wellness coach is a good fit if you are ready to make lasting changes in your health and well-being but need guidance, accountability, and support in reaching your goals. If you’re dealing with specific medical issues, it’s essential to work with a healthcare provider first and discuss how a coach can complement your care.
How often will we meet, and how long are the sessions?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly for 45-60 minutes, depending on their needs and schedule. Consistency is key, but we can customize a plan that works best for you.
Is coaching done in person or online?
I offer online sessions via video or phone, which makes it easy to connect no matter where you are. For local clients, in-person sessions may be arranged.
