Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I have as a health coach?
I hold multiple certifications in health coaching, including Primal Health Coach, Master Primal Health Coach, Human Intestinal Microbiome Specialist, as well as a background in Health Information and a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences.
What to expect during a health coaching session?
During a session, we will discuss your current health status, set specific goals, identify potential obstacles, and create a personalized action plan. Sessions are designed to be supportive and motivating, helping you stay on track and make sustainable changes.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeline for seeing results varies depending on individual goals and commitment. Some clients see changes within a few weeks, while others may take several months. Consistency and dedication are key to achieving long-term success.
Do you offer virtual coaching?
Yes, in fact with a few exceptions all coaching will be completed in a virtual setting via phone or video calls to accommodate clients from different locations and those with busy schedules.
How often will we meet?
The frequency of sessions depends on which package you choose.
What if I have specific dietary needs, restrictions, likes or dislikes?
Health coaching is personalized to meet your individual needs, including any dietary restrictions or preferences. We will work together to create a plan that suits your lifestyle and dietary requirements.
How is health coaching different from seeing a doctor or a nutritionist?
While doctors and nutritionists focus on diagnosing and treating medical conditions, health coaches provide ongoing support and motivation to help you implement lifestyle changes. Health coaching complements medical and nutritional advice by focusing on behavior change and goal-setting. It is important to note that as a health coach I may not diagnose, treat any medical conditions or provide any medical advice.
Is health coaching covered by insurance?
Health coaching is not typically covered by insurance. However, it's best to check with your insurance provider to see if they offer any wellness benefits or reimbursements for coaching services.

My approach is holistic, focusing on all aspects of health, including nutrition, higher fat using either ketogenic or carnivore approach, physical activity that involves simple movements, mental well-being, and lifestyle habits. I believe in personalized, sustainable changes that fit into your everyday life.
Can you help with specific health conditions?
As I am not a licensed health professional, I cannot treat specific medical conditions. However, I believe that managing blood sugar levels through carbohydrate control can significantly impact a wide variety of health concerns including metabolic, neurological/cognitive and mental health. We will collaborate closely to develop a plan tailored to your individual health needs.
