What can I expect during a wellness coaching session?

Each session is tailored to your unique goals and challenges. We’ll explore your current health and habits, focusing on mindset shifts, sustainable practices, realistic goal-setting, and actionable steps to support lasting weight loss. You’ll guide the session based on your needs and priorities, allowing us to focus on what matters most to you. Because this can be a lot to cover in one session, we recommend ongoing coaching or scheduling multiple sessions to maximize your progress.

How often should I schedule wellness coaching sessions?

The frequency of sessions depends on your unique needs and goals. Many clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions to build momentum and accountability. As you progress, we can adjust the schedule to fit your evolving needs. Together, we'll create a plan that supports your success and works best for your lifestyle.

How long does it take to see results from wellness coaching?

Results vary depending on factors such as commitment level, existing habits, and the complexity of your goals. Many clients start noticing positive changes—such as improved mindset, healthier habits, and more confidence—within a few weeks to a month of consistent coaching. It's important to remember that lasting change takes time and consistency. By staying committed to the process, you'll begin to build the foundation for long-term success and sustainable weight loss.
