Integrative Health Coaching
Support to put what helps your health into daily practice, alongside your medical care. Rooted in yoga and Ayurveda, informed by somatic psychology, and grounded in current research, with a plan built for your body rather than a generic one.
What coaching is
Most people arrive already knowing roughly what would help. Sleep earlier. Move more. Eat differently. Slow down. The knowledge isn’t the obstacle. The sequencing and the follow-through are.
Coaching gives you three things you can’t easily give yourself: a constitutional assessment that identifies which practices suit your particular system, an order of operations so you’re not attempting everything at once, and a scheduled point of accountability every two weeks.
Somatic awareness runs through every session: noticing how stress shows up in your body, and pacing practice so change feels manageable rather than forced.
The whole person
Coaching looks at five areas, drawn from yoga’s model of the person:
- Body: sleep, movement, food, posture
- Breath: the balance between activity and rest
- Mind and emotion: stress and mood, and how they feel in the body
- Habits and choices: what you do each day, and what helps change stick
- Meaning and connection: purpose, relationships, community
The arc of the work
Before we meet
Assessment
A short intake covering health history, current medications, sleep, stress, digestion, and what you’ve already tried. A few minutes.
Session one
Mapping
Ninety minutes to find the thread connecting your symptoms, identify your constitutional pattern, and choose the two or three practices to start with.
Weeks 2–8
Adjustment
Twice-monthly sessions. What held, what didn’t, and why. The plan changes as you do. This is the part that distinguishes coaching from a handout.
Ongoing
Independence
The goal is a practice you keep without me. Many people move to monthly or seasonal check-ins once the rhythm holds on its own.
Scope
What this is, and what it isn’t
Being clear about the boundary is what makes the work safe, and it’s what allows physicians to refer into it with confidence.
Coaching includes
- Education and instruction in breath, movement, meditation, rest, and daily rhythm
- Behavior change support
- Personalization drawn from Ayurvedic assessment and current evidence
- Tracking how you respond over time
- Coordination with your healthcare team, with your consent
Coaching does not include
- Diagnosis of any condition
- Medication changes or prescribing
- Recommending specific herbs or supplements
- Psychotherapy or mental health treatment
- Physical therapy or manual treatment
- Interpretation of lab or imaging results
- Emergency or urgent care
Coaching complements medical care. It does not replace it, and I will say so directly whenever something belongs with your physician instead.

Before you book
Some situations need a physician first
Chest pain, uncontrolled blood pressure, acute injury, pregnancy complications, active eating disorder, recent surgery, or any new and unexplained symptom. Breath and movement practices also need modification for glaucoma, uncontrolled hypertension, seizure disorders, retinal conditions, and later-stage pregnancy. The intake asks about these. Answer plainly, and we’ll adapt or refer as needed.
If you are in crisis
Coaching is not crisis support. In an emergency, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), available around the clock.
Your information
What you share stays between us. Nothing is sold, shared, or used for advertising. Notes exist only to make the next session useful, and you can ask for them, or ask for them to be deleted, at any time. If you’d like me to coordinate with your physician, that happens only with your explicit say-so.
Common questions
Do I need experience with yoga or meditation?
No. A good portion of the work involves people who have never held a pose. Everything is taught from the beginning and scaled to what your body currently does.
How long before I notice something?
Some practices shift how you feel within a single session. Paced breathing is the clearest example. Sleep and energy usually take two to four weeks of consistency. Deeper patterns take longer. Anyone promising a more precise timeline is guessing.
Will this interfere with my medication?
Coaching doesn’t alter medication, and I won’t suggest that you change or stop anything your physician has prescribed. Some lifestyle changes do affect how you respond to certain medications over time. That is a conversation to have with the prescriber, and I’ll flag it when it seems relevant.
Is it covered by insurance?
No. Health coaching generally isn’t reimbursed. Some HSA and FSA plans allow it, so it’s worth checking with your plan administrator.
Can my doctor refer me?
Yes, and they’re welcome to, though you don’t need a referral to start. There’s a referral pathway for clinicians who want a structured intake and a summary back at the end of the block.
Start with the intake.
A few minutes, no commitment. It tells me where you’re starting from and whether coaching is the right fit. If it isn’t, I’ll say so and point you somewhere better.
Coaching is educational and complements, but does not replace, medical diagnosis or treatment.
