FAQs
1. What is a holistic health coach?
A holistic health coach is a trained professional who uses an integrative approach to both diet and lifestyle changes to improve their client’s health. Working as a guide toward an overall healthier life, we will look at a client’s nutrition, hydration, physical fitness, stress levels, sleep patterns, and hormone health to bring it all into balance.
2. What is a holistic life coach?
A holistic life coach is a trained professional who looks at all aspects of a client’s life including career, relationships, health, finances, and spirituality.

4. Is life & health coaching covered by health insurance?
Most mainstream health insurance providers do not usually cover the costs of life & health coaching because it is not considered a mental health profession in the same way therapists and counselors are due to the fact that coaches are not regulated by the state. However, some corporate healthcare reimbursement accounts cover health coaching costs so check with your employer for eligible benefits.
5. Where do you conduct sessions?
Online using Zoom and Skype video conferencing or in person if you live in the Boston area. My home office is in Andover, Massachusetts.
One of my specialties is coaching through the decluttering process and I have been effective conducting this online as well.
6. How do I set up an appointment?
Please email or click on any of the free consultation areas on the site if you are interested in scheduling a 30 minute introductory coaching session. We can discuss an area in your life or health journey you may be feeling stuck, a goal you want to achieve, or any questions you might have. If we both are comfortable with progressing further, I will then set up a more formal appointment which generally runs 60 minutes in length.
7. Do you have a cancellation policy?
Yes and I ask for a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel an appointment. The full fee is charged for no shows and late cancellations. It’s no fun to have to charge you for this but our time is important and I want you to make coaching sessions a priority.
