Geography is not a barrier. Abundant You Coaching provides several different virtual options for your coaching programs.  This format provides for greater flexibility in working with your coach, saves time and money by cutting out travel time, and allows for a deeper coaching experience because you are in a comfortable setting of your own choosing.  It is for these reasons that the majority of coaching in the industry takes place virtually. For Ayurveda centered coaching, I ask that we use a video meeting so I can observe changes in the physical body such as the tongue, eyes, nails and skin.  I have the ability to read the Ayurveda pulse at a distance so all the assessments needed can be done in a remote manner. Phone and Zoom sessions can be recorded.  If this option is appealing, talk to me about the details. When you schedule your appointment through the online calendar system, you will be prompted to select how you would like to connect in the virtual environment – via telephone, Zoom Webinar, FaceTime or Skype. If using Skype, please provide your Skype name. If you choose Zoom, I will set up the meeting through my Zoom account, sending you the meeting information.

Insurance coverage depends on your individual policy benefits so check with your plan.  I do not directly file insurance but can provide appropriate documentation. Unfortunately, many complementary and holistic treatments are not covered by traditional insurance plans. As Ayurveda is recognized as a form of Complementary Medicine, you can often use money from your medical flex account or health savings account or HSA to cover the consultations and recommended herbal products (the latter more likely with HSA). As a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, I make assessments and recommendations from the Ayurvedic perspective of doshic imbalance but cannot make diagnoses or prescriptions from the western model of health, which is often what medical insurance companies look at to assess whether a visit is medically necessary.  I am happy, however, to provide appropriate documentation to address the nature of our work based on the scope of Ayurveda.

For each person, depending on the nature of their conditions and goals, the amount of time needed will be different. Initially appointments will be one to two weeks apart to effectively build your foundational tools, keep you on track and effectively move you forward to your goals. In the Holistic Wellbeing Programs you are learning about yourself and how you are impacting by the world around you from a new perspective.  You are steadily changing habits and patterns to support a better you. As this shifts take time, most clients benefit from 3-12 months of coaching support to achieve their goals. Along the way, you may uncover other goals than your original ones that you want to support as well as looking for seasonal or periodic support after your initial coaching program. As your coach, I will continue hold the balance between your overall objectives and your immediate needs, to monitor your state of balance/imbalance and guide you towards your ultimate goals. I offer educational material and additional resources as pertinent. But it is YOU that has to implement the changes and your results will only be as effective as what you do yourself. Together I will facilitate the process so it stays manageable, engaging and effective and, with your work, optimal results can be achieved!

My goal is to help you be successful in creating an abundantly healthy and vital life – and this takes time.   As such, the Abundant You Coaching programs are based on a structure designed for your SUCCESS, which combines my professional guidance and support with the time and space for you to learn and implement new life and wellness strategies. The Ayurveda Assessment is the first step is you are choosing a wellness coaching program.  But simply knowing what your core constitution (Prakrti) is as well as where you are currently out of balance (Viktri), is not going to give you the resources or support to re-align your balance. Knowing what to do and actually doing them and getting the results you’re looking for, are two different things.  In my 25 years of practice, I find that it is the latter – accountability and implementation support – that is what drives success and this is what the programs offer you.

Yes. To honor each client’s commitment and scheduling needs, I require 48 hours’ notice of cancellation or change for an appointment. In booking an appointment, you are reserving that time. Sudden illnesses and emergencies will be taken into consideration but are not guaranteed allowances.  I f you do not call or use the online scheduling system to make a change within this 48 hour time frame or do not show up for an appointment, your session will be deducted from your coaching program as completed.

I am happy to answer short questions between sessions about current recommendations or to clarify instructions. If it is a new issue or something that requires more time, please schedule your next 50 minute coaching session that is a part of your program.

Abundant You Coaching naturally grows through thoughtful clients like you naturally sharing about your successes with your family and friends. I sincerely appreciate you for recommending my services and sharing the value you find. To acknowledge and celebrate this energy, I offer referral cards for your use with a discount to both the referee and the referral. I provide these at the time your coaching program starts but if you need more, just ask! If you are inspired, I also post success stories on my website so you can share in your own words – let me know if you are interested.

Coaching is a distinct partnership relationship centered around the premise that you are resourceful, have the the capacity to solve your own issues, and are the source of your own best answers. As your coach…

I listen deeply to what you are saying and, from a neutral perspective, help you hear and see what you already know.

I assist you in uncovering effective methods for achieving goals without providing advice or telling you what you should do.

I champion you towards your highest dreams and in aligning your lifestyle to ensure that it honors your highest values, natural gifts and inner purpose.

I use thought-provoking and creative processes to increase your awareness of how you are responding to the world and explore alternative to respond in ways that are more aligned with your goals and desires.

I use the Ayurveda model to guide new awareness about your BodyMind and how you live in the world.  Together we explore, based on what Ayurveda tells you about your needs, what you starting points are on modifying your lifestyle.

When your awareness is heightened, different perspectives and options are explored, and a conscious and inspired path of action is chosen, transformation occurs. This approach allows you to choose how and when to take steps that will move you towards what you want.
