Health Coaching

I offer integrative health coaching with a focus on hormone health.  These are virtual private or group sessions.  Face to face coaching is also available upon request in Manhattan.   The first coaching session is complimentary where we review your goals and expectations to determine if subsequent sessions are of interest.  These complimentary sessions can be booked here.  Video conferencing and subsequent bookings and exchange of information are through a HIPAA compliant booking system.  Your privacy matters when it comes to your health!  Workshops will also be offered on different health topics.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does a health coach differ from a doctor or nutritionist?

A health coach helps you bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Coaches provide support, accountability, and personalized strategies to help you implement lasting change in areas like nutrition, stress, movement, sleep, and hormone balance. I don’t diagnose or prescribe—I work alongside your medical team to help you succeed with your wellness goals.

2. What can I expect in a private health coaching session?

Each session is personalized to your unique goals and health history.  You're the expert on you, and I am here to help you create a plan forward and navigate the bumps along the way.  

3.  How does group health coaching work?

Group coaching brings a small group of like minded people together in a supportive, small-group setting. The groups are created so that all participants have similar challenges they are working on. 

4. What topics do you cover in coaching?

I can coach on any area of life where you feel stuck or challenged in some way.  I have specific training in hormone health, so this is a popular topic for many.

5.  How much does coaching cost?

I offer a complimentary first session to discuss goals and expectations and explain the coaching program.  Coaching packages are fully personalized and discussed during your this session. Group coaching programs have fixed pricing based on duration and structure.

6.  How do I book a session?

All sessions are scheduled through a HIPAA-compliant platform that ensures your information is protected, just like it would be in a doctor’s office. If you decided to sign up for a program during the complimentary first session, you’ll be given a secure client portal for booking, forms, and follow-up notes.

7. Is my personal information kept private?

Yes. Your confidentiality is a top priority. All communications and health data are stored securely using HIPAA-compliant tools.

8.  How long is each session?

Private coaching sessions are approximately 50 minutes. Group sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the format.  We typically meet weekly or twice a month.

9.  Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! Private and group coaching sessions are typically offered virtually through a secure, private video platform. You can join from anywhere.  Face to face sessions can be arranged upon request.

10.  I’m not sure if coaching is right for me. Can I talk to you first?

Absolutely. Your first session is completely free. We’ll talk about your goals, health concerns, and whether coaching is a good fit for you.  There is no pressure to commit.

Testimonial

"Melissa is a wonderful health coach. I always felt supported and heard. She asked insightful questions that motivated me to think of situations differently which led to freedom from practices which were no longer serving me. Melissa guided me in creating a plan to handle work stress. As a result of putting into practice my plan, my attitude and performance at work has improved. When I think back to where I was last year to now, I am so thankful I found Melissa!"
