FAQ's

Clients

Q: What is health coaching?

A: Health coaching is a personalized and interactive program designed for the coach to help co-create goals, action steps and facilitate behavior change to help you achieve the goals that you already want to achieve!  It is NOT coming to a session to be "told what to do".

Q: What's the difference between a coach and a therapist or a registered dietician?

A: As a coach, I cannot diagnose, give medical advice for a specific diagnosis, prescribe, order or interpret labs and other medical information.  If you have already seen a licensed healthcare provider for a specific medical concern, I can help you facilitate making the recommended changes. 

Q: You said you are a physical therapist, can you help with my joint pain?

A: With this service, we can work on lifestyle interventions that can help improve your healing process and general health. If lifestyle/diet is an underlying cause of your pain, then improvement is common.  However, I am only working as a health coach and cannot provide physical therapy for a specific injury. I can recommend you to PT if you have a problem that sounds like it would benefit from that service.  You can simultaneously work with the PT on your specific issue while we work on other lifestyle interventions that can help facilitate your healing process.

Q: Does nutrition coaching mean you will give me a meal plan of exactly what I need to eat?

A: No. As a coach I cannot prescribe a specific meal plan. However, we can address dietary patterns that you want to change. I can also provide educational resources for you to make healthy decisions and make sustainable healthy choices.  If you are interested, I can help coach you through one of the food plans developed by Functional Medicine Providers. 

For Providers

Q: I have patients that that would like coaching to help with modifiable lifestyle factors, how can I refer?

A: You can simply have the patient contact me at naturallyhealthandnutrition@gmail.com or fill out a contact request form on this website.  In addition, if you are a provider and would like a flyer for your office please contact me!

Q: What benefits do I get as a collaborating provider?

A. Most importantly, I can help your patient work on the modifiable lifestyle factors to enhance their health and outcomes while freeing up your limited office time to focus on their specific medical needs.  In addition, I will run discounts for group and individual coaching packages for your patients that are referred.
