The Coaching Journey 

Every journey begins with a single step, and yours starts with clarity.

Your health journey is unique, and your coaching experience should be too.

​

This is a simple 3-Step Flow:

  1. Step 1: Start with the Optimal Health Strategy Session

  2. Step 2: Gain clarity and a personalized plan

  3. Step 3: Choose your next step (implement on your own or continue with coaching support)

​​

You're not someone who makes uninformed decisions, and you shouldn't have to when it comes to your health. The Optimal Health Strategy Session is a focused, one-on-one working session designed to give you a clearer understanding of what's happening in your body and a realistic starting point for the week ahead. Hormonal health is nuanced and takes time to navigate. This session will give you clarity on where you are, what's most likely contributing to how you feel, and one or two meaningful changes to begin with confidence.

​

What Happens After the Session?

There's no obligation beyond this session itself. You'll leave with a clearer picture of your health, a simple focused starting point to begin implementing right away, and the confidence to ask more informed questions at your next physician visit.

 

For women who want to go deeper, the Midlife Health Optimization Program is available as a private 1:1 program or a small group experience with a maximum of six participants.

Optimal Health Strategy Session
Limited time Cost:  $97

A focused working session designed to reduce guesswork and turn recommendations into a plan.

Before we meet, you'll be given a detailed health and lifestyle questionnaire to fill out.  I will review this prior to our session so that our conversation stays grounded, efficient and focused.  

During this 55-minute 1:1 session, we will:

  • Review your health history, symptoms, goals, and constraints (time, stress, schedule, preferences)

  • Identify key patterns and priorities (including factors you may not have considered)

  • Translate your physician's recommendations into a realistic, structured action plan

  • Define a simple 7 day starting strategy to reduce guesswork (what to try, what to track, and what success looks like)

  • Answer your questions so you leave with direction and confidence about what to do next.

​​

If you enroll in the 12-week Midlife Health Optimization Program within 14 days, the cost of this session will roll over as credit.

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!"

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 optimal health strategy session to discuss goals and expectations and explain the coaching program.  Coaching packages are fully personalized and discussed during this session. Group coaching programs have fixed pricing based on duration and structure.

6.  How do I book a session?

The first session is booked on my website above.  Subsequent 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.​
