What drew me to health coaching
I've been interested in health and nutrition for as long as I can remember, but what drew me to coaching was seeing how hard it can be to turn good intentions into everyday change.
Over the last several years, I've seen people I care about face health issues, chronic conditions, injuries, and burnout. I've also seen how overwhelming it can feel to want something to be different but not know where to start or how to make progress.
What I love about coaching is creating the space for you to slow down, clarify what really matters, and find practical next steps that fit your life.
Before moving into health coaching, I spent over 25 years in user experience, hospitality, and leadership roles focused on understanding people and creating meaningful experiences. That background shapes how I coach today: listening closely, staying curious, and meeting you where you are to help you make progress on what matters to you.

Insurance & HSA/FSA
Health coaching is not typically covered by insurance.
However, in some cases, services may be eligible for reimbursement through HSA or FSA funds.
Eligibility can depend on your individual plan and often requires a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your healthcare provider. This typically applies when coaching is used to treat or prevent a specific medical condition or support a prescribed treatment plan.
Check directly with your insurance or HSA/FSA provider to confirm your benefits and requirements.
I'd be happy to provide documentation (such as invoices and program details) to support your reimbursement request.
