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 like they're managing well. Inside, they often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.

Some are living with chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling exhausted or uncertain. Others are navigating persistent hormonal, gynecologic, breast, or other health concerns and want support for the emotional and personal impact these experiences can have on their lives.

Many have already done a great deal of healing work. They understand themselves well, yet still find themselves caught in familiar patterns when life becomes stressful or something important is at stake.

They aren't usually looking for more information. They're looking for a different way of relating to themselves in the moments that matter most.

Each session begins with whatever feels most important to you that day. It might be a current challenge, a relationship, a stressful interaction, persistent symptoms, or simply the sense that something feels off.

As we talk, I'll often invite you to slow down and notice what's happening inside you. Together, we become curious about your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and protective reactions as they unfold.

I won't tell you what to think or what decisions to make. Instead, I'll help you better understand your experience so you can respond from a place that feels more grounded, connected, and true to yourself.

Every session is different because it follows what is most alive for you in the moment.

Many of the women I work with have already done a great deal of healing work. They may have been in therapy, read extensively, explored personal growth, or worked with other practitioners.

Often, they understand themselves remarkably well. They know where their patterns come from and can usually make sense of them afterward.

But when stress, fear, or something deeply important is happening, that understanding can become much harder to access.

This work focuses on what happens in those moments. Rather than adding more insight, we practice recognizing what's happening as it unfolds, creating a little more room to pause, reconnect with yourself, and respond differently.

Body-oriented coaching means we pay attention not only to what you're thinking but also to what you're noticing in your body as we talk.

Often, your body reacts before you've had time to make sense of what's happening. You might notice tension, a sinking feeling in your stomach, an urge to withdraw, or the sense that something suddenly feels off.

At times, I may invite you to slow down and notice what you're experiencing in the moment. We approach this gently and without assuming that every sensation has a particular meaning. You remain in choice about what you want to explore.

The purpose isn't to control your body or make difficult feelings disappear. It's to help you recognize what's happening as it unfolds, so there may be more room for clarity, self-connection, and choice.

Yes. Living with persistent hormonal, gynecologic, breast, or other health concerns can affect far more than your physical health. They may also shape how you relate to yourself, your relationships, your work, your decisions, and your sense of what the future holds.

Our coaching sessions create space for the experience of living with these challenges. Together, we might explore the uncertainty, vigilance, grief, frustration, or changes in identity that can accompany them, while helping you stay more connected to yourself as you move through them.

This coaching works best alongside appropriate medical care. Ideally, you're already working with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate and treat your physical health concerns.

Although my years as an OB/GYN and functional medicine physician deeply inform my understanding, I'm working with you as a coach. I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions, interpret test results, or provide medical advice.

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 how I understand the body, stress, and the experience of living with complex health concerns. But our work together is coaching, not medical care.

If you're living with a health condition, I encourage you to continue working with the healthcare professionals who are caring for your physical health while we focus on supporting you through your experience of living with it.

Coaching and therapy can both support meaningful growth and healing, but they serve different purposes.

Therapy often focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, processing trauma, or working through the impact of past experiences.

Coaching focuses on your present-day experience and how you want to move forward. Together, we explore what happens inside you when stress, difficult emotions, relationship challenges, or physical health challenges become overwhelming, so you can respond with greater clarity and self-connection.

If you're currently working with a therapist, coaching can often complement that work. If you're looking for mental health treatment, therapy is likely the more appropriate place to begin.

This work may be a good fit if you're interested in understanding what happens inside you when stress, difficult emotions, relationship challenges, or health concerns become overwhelming. You don't need to have everything figured out, but it helps to be willing to slow down, notice your experience, and approach yourself with curiosity.

This coaching isn't about fixing you or telling you what decisions to make. It's a collaborative process that works best when you're open to exploring your experience and trying something different.

The Discovery Session gives us a chance to talk about what you're looking for, what my approach involves, and whether we're a good fit for each other. If we decide to work together, we'll continue clarifying what you need and how we'll work during our first session.
