FAQs
What is a Functional Wellness Coach?
A Functional Wellness Coach helps people build healthier lives through personalized nutrition, movement, lifestyle coaching, stress management, sleep, and healthy lifestyle strategies. My goal is to help you develop sustainable habits that support your long-term health and wellness.
What can I expect during my first consultation?
During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your health history, current concerns, nutrition, lifestyle habits, movement, sleep, stress, and wellness goals. Together we'll develop a customized plan designed around your needs and goals.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults looking to improve their health through nutrition, movement, lifestyle changes, and wellness coaching. I have a special interest in supporting individuals living with hypermobility, dysautonomia, POTS, autoimmune conditions, gut health concerns, chronic fatigue, and healthy aging, but I welcome anyone seeking an individualized coaching approach.
Do you diagnose or treat medical conditions?
No. I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe treatment for medical conditions. My services are educational, wellness focused, and designed to complement the care you receive from your healthcare providers.
Will you review my lab work?
No. Lab work is not required. If you already have laboratory results ordered by your healthcare provider or obtained through a direct-to-consumer testing service, I can help you better understand them from a wellness and educational perspective. Together we'll discuss nutrition, lifestyle, and lifestyle strategies that support your goals. Medical diagnosis and treatment decisions should always be made with your healthcare provider.
Do you recommend supplements?
Yes. When appropriate, I provide educational guidance about dietary supplements that may support general wellness based on your goals and health history. Supplement recommendations are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Do I have to work out with you in person?
No. Most exercise programs are designed to be completed independently using detailed written instructions and video demonstrations. Follow-up consultations allow us to review your progress and make adjustments as needed.
Are your programs appropriate for beginners?
Absolutely. Programs are personalized for all fitness levels, whether you're just getting started or have years of exercise experience.
Do you accept insurance?
No. My services are self-pay and are not billed through health insurance.
What makes your approach different?
I believe lasting wellness begins by understanding the whole person, not just one aspect of health. Rather than offering generic recommendations, I take time to understand your health history, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and goals so I can create a personalized wellness plan that fits your life. My focus is on education, practical strategies, and sustainable habits that support long-term wellness.
Can I work with you virtually?
Absolutely. Many of my coaching services are offered virtually, allowing you to receive personalized wellness guidance from the comfort of your home.
What if I'm not sure whether your services are right for me?
That's completely okay. Choosing a wellness coach is an important decision. I offer a complimentary discovery call where we can discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether my approach is a good fit for your needs.
