The Gentle Roots Wellness Approach to Coaching

Our work is grounded in the highest ethical standards and science-backed coaching practices. We do not diagnose or prescribe, but walk alongside you as a supportive partner in your wellness journey.

Whether you're navigating burnout, searching for more balance, or seeking clarity in your health and life, this is a space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and design sustainable change that fits your life.

What is Coaching?

Health coaching is a supportive partnership that helps you reconnect with your inner wisdom and make sustainable changes aligned with your values.

As a National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) certified candidate, I hold space for deep reflection, resilience, and growth—not to fix you, but to help you step into your own power. Learn more in this article on Coaching as a Compassionate Approach to Change.

“Health & wellness coaches partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well-being.”

Coaching FAQ

  • Health and wellness coaching is a collaborative, client-centered process that supports individuals in making self-directed, lasting changes aligned with their values. Coaches work to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where each client is recognized as the expert on their own life. My coaching services are built around empathy, empowerment, and curiosity—not authority, diagnosis, or treatment.

  • While I bring a deep well of experience in holistic wellness, food science, yoga, herbalism, and more, I do not practice as a medical, fitness, or mental health provider. That means:

    • I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions

    • I do not prescribe medications, supplements, or protocols

    • I do not provide meal plans, fitness regimens, or psychological therapy

    • I do not interpret lab results or advise on stopping treatments

    Instead, I offer a safe, collaborative space to explore your goals, create aligned strategies, and make changes that are truly your own. Coaching complements the care you may receive from doctors, therapists, or dietitians.

    If you need clinical or therapeutic support, I will help you connect with the right professionals and can serve as a supportive complement to your healthcare team.

  • Sessions with me are reflective, empowering, and action-oriented. You can expect to:

    • Be met with respect, presence, and unconditional positive regard

    • Explore what matters most to you and clarify your vision for well-being

    • Identify barriers and self-limiting patterns with curiosity, not judgment

    • Co-create meaningful, achievable action steps grounded in your own wisdom

    • Experience growth at your own pace—with accountability and encouragement

    You don’t need to “have it all figured out.” You just need to be willing to show up.

  • As a candidate for board certification, I uphold the NBHWC Code of Ethics, which emphasizes:

    • Client autonomy and informed consent

    • Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity

    • Clear role boundaries and referrals when needed

    • Confidentiality and privacy protection

    All coaching agreements clearly define the scope of our work together, including limits of confidentiality and your rights as a client. Learn more about what a NBC-HWC does including their scope and ethics at the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching Website.

  • My current rate is $80 for a 30-minute session. If we decide to work together consistently, I offer discounted pricing through a coaching agreement tailored to your needs. Before we work together, we will review and agree on pricing, frequency of sessions, and your desired outcomes. A coaching agreement is always signed by both parties prior to our coaching relationship in order to clarify and honor expectations on both ends.

    For example, a typical four-month coaching plan with biweekly sessions comes to $150/month (or $600 total). This includes ongoing email support, session summaries, and resources to help you stay aligned between sessions.

    I periodically offer promotions, scholarships, and need-based volunteer coaching for those facing financial hardship. To be the first to hear about discounted offerings, make sure you're subscribed to the newsletter.

  • Coaching with me is a creative, collaborative process that adapts to your energy, needs, and readiness for change. Each session follows a natural arc based on where you are in your transformation journey.

    We begin by exploring your deeper motivations, values, and vision. From there, we uncover your strengths, clarify what’s working, and begin to build internal and external resources to support your goals. Using tools grounded in the science of positive psychology and behavior change, we co-create your unique path forward.

    Depending on your needs, we may design small experiments, brainstorm new strategies, or sketch out actionable steps toward your desired outcomes. You are always in the driver’s seat. I may offer gentle guidance, education, or relevant resources—but only when helpful and requested.

    Throughout every session, I hold a safe space of empathy, presence, and non-judgment. I’m here to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and provide compassionate accountability.

    Coaching works best when you’re willing to reflect honestly, engage with the process, and take meaningful steps between sessions. Together, we’ll create momentum toward the change you want—on your terms, in your time.
