FAQ
Why Monarch butterflies?
The monarch butterfly symbolizes transformation, resilience, and gentle power. This beautiful and delicate creature travels thousands of miles in its migration, from Canada to the mountains of Mexico. Apart from its ecological and spiritual significance, the butterfly shows that small, intentional actions can result in an extraordinary journey.
What is Health and Wellness Coaching?
A partnership between a client and a coach to help the client achieve health and wellness goals. The coach provides support, defines a client-specific version of health, and helps create goals to move towards that vision. Learn more.
Is Ongoing Support Provided?
Absolutely, we are committed to providing continuous support to empower you throughout your wellness endeavor. This includes texting, phone, and email support between sessions as needed. Relevant references are also provided on request.
Is This Covered by Insurance?
At this time, insurance does not cover personalized health coaching. You may be able to submit for reimbursement through an HSA or FSA plan, as long as you have a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a doctor, confirming the coaching treats or prevents a specific medical condition (like diabetes, obesity, or heart disease). Please check with your own insurance, physician, and HSA/FSA accounts for more information.
Are Virtual Consultations Available?
Yes, we offer virtual consultations to make our comprehensive wellness services accessible to all individuals.
Is This the Same as Therapy?
There are similarities between coaching and therapy, such as deep listening, identifying emotions and behaviors, and empathic connection. Therapy tends to focus on exploring and healing the past, while coaching is more future goal setting oriented. If you have behavioral health concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD, I strongly recommend establishing care with a mental health professional. Working with both a therapist and a coach at the same time can be beneficial.
Will You Check Labs or Perscribe Medications?
While I am a doctor, I am not your doctor. I defer all medical advice to your own healthcare professionals, as they have a better understanding of your medical issues. They can prescribe medications, place referrals, or order lab work.
