How Health Coaching Works
I am an NBHWC-certified health and wellness coach. I help autistic and AuDHD adults build sustainable systems for their health, daily life, and capacity. I do not diagnose. I do not treat mental health conditions. I work alongside your therapist, doctor, or other providers.
Session Format
Primary Modality: Secure text chat (real-time, scheduled)
Secondary Modality: Async messaging (email or app for ongoing chat)
Optional Modality: Video call (only if you request it)
Session Length (for scheduled live sessions): 45 minutes
Frequency: Weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
Between-Session Support
Optional async check-ins. You reply if you have capacity. No penalty for silence.
How to Start
I know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. Your onboarding process is designed to be low-demand and friction-free.
- Step 1: Fill out the contact form
Fill out a simple, streamlined form sharing what you’re struggling with and what support you are looking for. No lengthy, overstimulating intake packets required.
- Step 2: Receive available appointment options
Within 24 business hours, I’ll send you an email with 2–3 text-chat time slots to choose from.
- Step 3: We hold a free 20-minute live text consult
Select the format that fits your energy: a free 20-minute video call, or a dedicated 20-minute text-only chat.
Joining Your First Session: You’ll receive a secure link to join our conversation. When you open it, choose your preferred format:
🎥 Video Call: Tap “Give Access To Camera And Mic.”
💬 Text Chat Only: Tap “Continue Without Access.”
(Quick heads-up: You will need to tap this twice to confirm keeping your camera/mic off).
- Step 4: We end the chat with no obligations.
You take your time to think it through, and let me know when you come to a decision. If you need a week or two before you are able to make a decision, that is completely valid – no pressure here.
- Step 5: If we both agree it is a fit, you book your first live session or sign up for ongoing async text support.
You will receive digital paperwork to sign and access to download your secure client app for ongoing asynchronous support. This will be your home base for seamless, direct text messaging and ongoing support between sessions.
You might have noticed that you can’t book a session or subscribe to a monthly plan directly. That’s intentional: everyone starts with a complimentary 20-minute chat so we can ensure your specific needs align with my practice. It’s important to me that you only invest in coaching once we’ve both confirmed that this support is truly the right fit for you right now.
