Everything You Need to Know

I offer both virtual and in-person coaching sessions. Virtual sessions are conducted via video or telephone, giving you the flexibility to participate from anywhere, at your convenience. For those in the Portland, Oregon area, in-person sessions are available by appointment for an additional fee. Reach out to learn more about how both options can support your wellness journey!

I offer coaching sessions by private appointment only. Please reach out to schedule a session at a time that works best for you. I am flexible and will do my best to accommodate your needs.

No, my coaching services are specifically designed for adults aged 18 and over. This ensures we can dive into deeper topics and work with the full autonomy needed for effective, lasting change. If you’re under 18 and interested in coaching, I recommend seeking out a specialist who focuses on youth wellness.

My ideal client is anyone ready to take charge of their health and commit to the process, regardless of race, age, gender, identity, or current health status. The only requirement is a willingness to show up, embrace the journey, and put in the work – even (and especially) when it gets challenging. If you’re open to exploring new possibilities and dedicated to making real, lasting change, we’ll be a great fit!

Health and wellness coaching is a personalized approach to achieving health goals. It involves working with a coach to create a plan tailored to your specific needs, whether it’s improving nutrition, increasing fitness, managing stress, or fostering a healthy mindset. Think of your coach as a one-sided friendship – you get the benefits of a supportive, non-judgmental friend without any need for reciprocation. A coach provides guidance, accountability, and tools to empower you to make lasting changes and become the healthiest version of yourself.

Holistic means looking at the whole person, not just one part of their health or life. It’s about recognizing the connections between your mind, body, and spirit and understanding how these elements work together to impact your overall wellbeing. In my coaching practice, this means I take all aspects of your life into account – your physical health, emotional balance, mental clarity, and even your environment (like your job, relationships, and daily routines). My goal is to help you create lasting, meaningful change by empowering you to find balance and thrive in every area of your life.

Health coaches focus on holistic wellness and behavior change, emphasizing preventive care and lifestyle modifications, while medical professionals diagnose and treat specific health conditions using medical interventions. A health coach is not a replacement for your doctor or therapist, but rather a complementary partner in your wellness journey. I often collaborate with other health professionals to ensure you receive well-rounded support, tailored to your unique needs and goals.

As a holistic health coach, my focus is on enhancing your overall wellbeing by addressing physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health. While sports coaches focus on athletic performance, life coaches on personal goals, and executive coaches on professional development, I work to empower you toward a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. My approach integrates techniques to improve nutrition and movement, manage stress, and build sustainable self-care practices, creating a wellness journey that supports all areas of your life.

Wellness coaching can help individuals set and achieve health goals, improve overall wellbeing, reduce stress, increase energy levels, and enhance work-life balance.

NBC-HWC stands for National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. This certification is a gold standard in the health coaching field, awarded by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching. It requires rigorous training, a comprehensive exam, and a commitment to ethical standards and continuing education.

Each coaching session lasts 50 minutes and is held virtually for your convenience (or in-person for an additional fee). Our sessions are personalized to align with your unique goals. We’ll start by discussing your current health, identify areas for improvement, and set actionable goals to help you move forward. Throughout our time together, I’ll provide strategies and tools to support sustainable lifestyle changes and empower you to achieve long-term wellness. Session frequency is flexible and can be tailored to your preferences – whether you prefer weekly, biweekly, or monthly check-ins, we’ll find the right rhythm to suit your needs.

At Three Roses, you can expect a straightforward, no-nonsense approach with a healthy dose of humor and compassion. I’m here to challenge you when needed, but always with your growth in mind. You’ll get a mix of science-backed strategies and a bit of “woo woo,” drawing on ancient wisdom often overlooked in modern healthcare. Most importantly, this is a space for you to show up just as you are – no need to impress or perform. Together, we’ll focus on realistic, sustainable changes that align with your unique path to total wellness.

Wellness coaching can enhance mental health by providing support, guidance, and strategies to manage stress, build resilience, and promote positive thinking. A coach helps you set actionable goals, develop coping skills, and maintain motivation. However, it's important to note that wellness coaching is not a substitute for therapy. If you're dealing with serious mental health concerns, a licensed therapist may be better suited to support you.
