Frequently Asked Questions

The women I work with are often thoughtful, capable, and used to handling a great deal on their own. From the outside, they may seem to be managing well, even when things feel quite different on the inside.

Some come because they're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in familiar patterns. They may be struggling in a relationship, navigating a health concern, or finding that the ways they've always handled things aren't working so well anymore.

Others are at a point in life where they're questioning what they want, considering a change, or wanting to feel more connected to themselves and the life they're living.

You don't have to be in crisis or know exactly what's wrong to benefit from coaching. Sometimes it's enough to recognize that you'd like something to be different.

Each session begins with whatever feels most important to you that day. It might be something happening in a relationship, a difficult decision, a health concern, or simply a feeling that something isn't quite right.

We'll talk about what's going on, and I'll listen, ask questions, and sometimes invite you to slow down and notice something you might otherwise overlook. There's no set agenda or particular way the conversation needs to unfold.

Sometimes you may leave with a different perspective on something that's been troubling you. Other times, you might reconnect with something important to you, feel clearer about a decision, or discover a possibility you hadn't considered.

I won't tell you what to think or what to do. We'll keep coming back to what's important to you, while making room for whatever comes up along the way.

Many of the women I work with have already done a lot of healing work. They've been in therapy, read the books, explored different approaches, and learned a great deal about themselves.

And yet, even with all that understanding, they may still find themselves caught in familiar patterns or feeling that something isn't quite right.

Sometimes, trying harder to understand or change ourselves becomes part of what's keeping us stuck. This work offers a chance to approach things differently, with less pressure to figure everything out and more curiosity about what's actually happening.

What comes from that can be surprising. You might see something differently, find that an old pattern has less of a hold on you, or reconnect with something that matters to you.

In body-oriented coaching, we pay attention to more than just what you're thinking about a situation. We also make room for how you're feeling and what you're noticing in your body as we talk.

You might be telling me about a difficult conversation, a decision you're struggling with, or something that keeps happening in your life. As we talk, I may invite you to slow down and notice what's happening for you right then. Sometimes we'll use a simple exercise, but often it's just part of our conversation.

We don't have to figure out what everything means or rush to change anything. Sometimes, when we give ourselves a little room to notice what's happening, we begin to see something differently. We might recognize something we hadn't considered or reconnect with something that matters to us.

There's no particular way you're supposed to feel or respond. We'll start with what's important to you and see where the conversation takes us.

Yes. Living with an ongoing health concern can affect so much more than your physical health. It can bring uncertainty, frustration, grief, or changes in how you see yourself and your future. It can also affect your relationships, work, and everyday life.

Coaching gives you a place to talk about what you're going through, including the parts that may be difficult to explain to others. We can explore what matters to you, what you're struggling with, and how you want to live your life alongside these challenges.

My background as an OB/GYN and functional medicine physician gives me an understanding of many of the concerns women bring to this work. But I'm working with you as a coach, not a physician. I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions, interpret test results, or provide medical advice.

Coaching is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate medical care. I encourage you to continue working with your healthcare providers for your physical health needs.

No. I no longer practice medicine or provide functional medicine care. Today, I work exclusively as a holistic life coach.

My years as an OB/GYN and functional medicine physician continue to inform my understanding of women's health and the challenges that can come with living with ongoing health concerns.

But our work together is coaching, not medical care. I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions or provide medical advice.

Coaching and therapy can both support meaningful personal growth, but they have different purposes.

Therapy can help you work through emotional difficulties, past experiences, trauma, and mental health concerns. Coaching focuses on what you're experiencing in your life now, what matters to you, and how you'd like to move forward.

In our work together, we might explore a relationship, a decision, a recurring difficulty, or something you're hoping to create in your life. You don't need to have a particular problem to solve.

If you're already working with a therapist, coaching may complement that work. Coaching isn't a substitute for mental health treatment, and if that's what you're looking for, therapy is the more appropriate place to begin.

You might be feeling stuck in a familiar pattern, struggling with a relationship or health concern, or facing a decision you're not sure how to make. Or perhaps things are going reasonably well, but you're wondering what else might be possible in your life.

You don't need to know exactly what you want to change. What matters more is a willingness to be curious about yourself and open to exploring things in a different way.
