FAQs
We work with women navigating health journeys as patients, caregivers, or both. This includes women facing challenges like menopause, cancer, rare diseases, autoimmune conditions, labor or post-labor concerns or unexplained health concerns. We also support mothers caring for children with mental health or chronic illnesses, daughters managing their aging parents’ complex health needs, and women navigating their own aging without family nearby.
Health coaches typically help you set and work toward wellness goals, drawing the plan out of you through guided conversation. Patient advocates typically step in during a specific crisis or hospital stay.
I bring both, health coaching training and patient advocacy experience, plus over 20 years working in biotech and rare disease, which means I know how the healthcare system actually works, how to read a study, and how to get the most out of a medical relationship, not just navigate around it. Sometimes that means being a sounding board, helping you find your own answer. Other times it means bringing a second set of eyes, strategizing with you, and creating momentum to get answers, take action, and move your health in the right direction.
And it may not be ongoing. A single Clarity Session can answer one specific question. A Health Strategy Intensive builds a full plan when there’s more to untangle. Thrive Plans exist for ongoing partnership, but only if and when you actually need that level of support.

We start with a free 15-minute Fit Call to see if we’re the right match. From there, most clients choose either a Clarity Session (50 minutes, for a single decision or question) or a Health Strategy Intensive (a deeper dive when there’s more to untangle). For ongoing support, we create a customized Thrive Plan tailored to your needs.
The Fit Call is a complimentary 15-minute conversation to see if we’re the right match. We’ll talk about what’s going on and which of our services makes the most sense for you, no need to share your full story yet, that comes later if we move forward together.
Clarity Sessions and Health Strategy Intensives are flat-fee services, so you know the cost upfront. Thrive Plans are priced based on your individual needs and level of support, we’ll discuss what makes sense together. Services are self-pay and not covered by insurance, similar to therapy or other private-pay professional support.
