FAQs

A virtual health coach is a wellness professional who works with clients online to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. Whether you're seeking a health coach for women, need support managing stress, or want to develop a healthier relationship with food, a virtual health coach provides personalized guidance and accountability. From nutrition and fitness to overall lifestyle improvements, virtual health coaching makes it easy to access expert health coach services from anywhere.

Absolutely, a nutrition and wellness coach is worth it—especially if you’re tired of spinning your wheels with diets, advice that doesn’t stick, or feeling like you’re navigating your health blindfolded. The real question is: Are you ready to invest in yourself? Because hiring a coach isn’t just about meal plans or tips—it’s about having someone in your corner who listens, understands your unique challenges, and works with you to create a roadmap for lasting change.

Think of it this way: You can keep guessing what might work, or you can have a coach who helps you figure it out, fast-tracks your progress, and keeps you motivated when life gets messy. Your health is the foundation for everything else—so if you’re asking the question, chances are you already know it’s time to prioritize you. Let’s make it happen!

A virtual session with me is simple, flexible, and all about making the most of your time! Once you schedule a session that works with your calendar (through my easy-to-use Practice Better portal), you’ll get a Zoom link and handy reminders so you’re always in the loop. Before we meet, you’ll fill out a little paperwork to ensure we’re both ready to dive in and make real progress during our time together.

During the session, we’ll connect face-to-face on Zoom to discuss your goals, challenges, and next steps—all tailored just for you. And don’t worry—between sessions, you’ll have access to messaging through the portal, so you’re never left hanging with questions or roadblocks. It’s a streamlined, supportive process designed to fit your life and keep you on track.

A Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is trained to address the root causes of health concerns through a personalized, holistic approach to nutrition and wellness. I completed over 1,200 hours of training with the Nutritional Therapy Association, focusing on how the body functions, how nutrition impacts overall health, and how to create tailored solutions for each individual. While I’m not a licensed dietitian, my work is grounded in evidence-based practices and designed to support your body’s unique needs—not just follow standardized national guidelines.

Dietitians are typically licensed professionals who work within medical or institutional settings, often using USDA guidelines to create meal plans or treat specific medical conditions. In contrast, as an NTP, I take a more customized approach, focusing on optimizing your overall well-being by addressing the root causes of symptoms, such as energy imbalances, digestion issues, or chronic fatigue.

How soon you’ll see results depends on a few key factors: your commitment to the process, your willingness to be honest with yourself, and how open you are to making changes. Most people who fully embrace the plan notice improvements—like better energy, clearer thinking, or fewer nagging symptoms—within 2-3 weeks. That’s because the work we do is focused on real, meaningful shifts that align with your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.

That said, results aren’t guaranteed because every body is different, and true transformation requires consistency and effort. But here’s the good news: you have everything you need within you to make this happen. My role is to guide you, support you, and cheer you on every step of the way. If you show up for yourself, there’s no limit to how far you can go. Let’s do this together!

I understand how exhausting it can be to feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing works. It’s easy to lose hope when every diet, program, or quick fix falls short. But here’s the truth: most of those approaches aren’t designed with you in mind. They’re generic solutions that don’t address the root causes of what’s really going on in your body or your life.

What we do together is different. I don’t hand you a cookie-cutter plan or focus on surface-level fixes. Instead, I take the time to understand you—your symptoms, your history, your goals—and build a strategy that fits your body, your lifestyle, and your needs. You’re not broken, and you’re not a lost cause. Your body has the potential to heal, thrive, and feel incredible—it just needs the right support. 

Whether you’ll need to take supplements depends on your unique health needs and goals, but if they’re part of your plan, we’ll ensure you’re taking only what’s truly necessary and effective. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Health found that many people take supplements based on social media trends or marketing, often without understanding how they work—or whether they’re even safe. This can lead to wasted money, ineffective results, and even unintended harm.

If supplements are recommended, they’ll be based on your specific needs, backed by science, and tailored to support your health. No guessing, no unnecessary pills—just the confidence of knowing you’re giving your body exactly what it needs to thrive.

My services aren’t covered by insurance, but many clients find that  HSA or FSA accounts will pay for them. I’m happy to accept HSA/FSA payments if your plan allows it. To check, simply contact your account provider and ask if nutritional therapy or wellness coaching is an eligible expense.

Investing in your health is one of the best decisions you can make—for yourself and the life you want to live. You deserve to feel vibrant, energized, and in control of your well-being.
