What is Health Coaching?
Some goals or New Year’s resolutions leave you with a knot in the pit of your stomach. You might even beat yourself up for things you haven’t done. Happily, there’s another way forward!
Achieve with More Ease
Instead of kicking tired, overwhelmed people in the butt, my mind-body medicine-based health coaching process touches on all areas of well-being in your life. Cultivating well-being makes it much easier to commit to healthy, achievable goals and habits that are meaningful to you personally.
Be More Present, Make healthier Decisions
With overwhelming options and endless to-do list items, it’s no wonder that so many of us struggle to savor the present moment. With a mind-body approach to health coaching, I listen deeply and guide my clients to cultivate self-awareness in their daily lives. Awareness is one of the most powerful tools to better direct our life choices, experiencing more balance and peace throughout the day.
Have You Developed Your Superpower?
My superpower is intuition and insight. I use it to teach people how to listen to their bodies as a guide to wellness. Meeting each client where they are, I listen without judgement, because that's how I found my own way, too—I’m right there with you!
Action-Oriented, Holistic Approach
Here are just a few of the challenges my coaching process can ease for you:
- Balancing the stressors in your life

- Implementing lifestyle changes: healthy nutrition, physical activity, and/or sleep habits
- Finding or refining your sense of purpose
- Understanding emotions and how they affect us
- Navigating complicated relationships

Bodywork
The mind and body are not separate entities. they are very much intertwined and working together. The stress you experience in your mind effects you physically and when your body isn’t feeling well you feel it in your mind. Bodywork and energy healing can be an excellent way to integrate mind and body, cultivate alignment and balance all of the systems that are working together as a whole.
Our bodies store all of our memories and experiences just as much, if not more than our minds. Sometimes we need a little support to release the emotions and stressors that get stuck in our bodies. Both massage and energy healing can help facilitate this release, calm the nervous system and relieve tension.

For Companies and Organizations
Statistics suggest that many of your employees are either parents, caregivers, or people struggling with a hidden illness or disability of their own. These challenges disrupt focus and productivity. I know first-hand what it’s like.
There was a time in my life when even the idea of trying stress-busting techniques stressed me out. It seemed easier to eat comfort food or drink, even as those habits made me feel increasingly unwell, both physically and mentally. I needed support, and many of your employees do, too.
Healthier, emotionally balanced people are free to be their best selves at work, so let’s build a company culture around self-care!

FAQs
My clients come from all walks of life. Many are leaders or CEOs. Many are parents. Many live with disabilities or other challenging life circumstances.
Almost all my clients are juggling priorities and living with stress. They may also be consumed with regrets or concerns for the future.
Chronic stress can weigh you down, keeping you from reaching your potential and even leading to illness. A growing body of research suggests that chronic stress is closely linked to heart disease, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, and much more. Coaching can help you develop health strategies to downregulate the stress response and move through life with a greater sense of ease.
By integrating nutritional and physical activity, mindfulness, and self-awareness practices, health coaching clients discover a sense of peace and empowerment as they learn how everything is interconnected. You’ll decide what you want to hone in on and accomplish between sessions. All the while, you’ll build momentum and continue taking small steps to reach your goals.
Welcome to the club. You get another badge on your human vest. Visionairium Healing is here to support you as you put in the elbow grease necessary to see results, and I understand that life gets in the way. Conflicting priorities and strong emotions can be challenging to manage.
Was your goal too troublesome? We’ll break it down, exploring it from multiple angles. Different stages of behavior change may also call for different approaches. As we rework the challenge, we may find some hacks to make things easier, or you may even decide that the goal isn’t what you really want after all. Either way, I’m gonna love you no matter how messed up you think you are. The truth is, we are all pretty incredible. Most of us just don’t know it yet.
I enjoy empowering clients to find the motivation and passion required to stick to their exercise regimens or healthy eating habits. When motivation isn’t the problem, we work on other lifestyle changes that will give you back some of the time or energy you feel you’ve lost.
You may be able to charge your health coaching fees to your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). Consult your insurer or benefits administrator for more information on these accounts, as they help people pay for many other out-of-pocket health expenses as well.
My clients sometimes come to me after seeing a therapist, or as an additional level of support during treatment. The therapist often addresses deeply troublesome issues. Perhaps the clients receive a diagnosis and learn to cope, or maybe they unpack some past trauma. In contrast, coaching leverages what’s going well. While coaching does acknowledge the past, as well as present obstacles, we draw on your strengths and passions. Coaching clients walk away with practical, actionable tools and techniques to move forward.
The discovery call is free. After that, you can purchase a single session for $150 or a three-session package for $375.
