I use evidence-based, motivational interviewing techniques combined with accountability to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes and reach your wellness goals.

I learned my coaching technique at the Mayo Clinic, which emphasized the importance of positive psychology. This coaching style supports a big-picture, solution-focused mindset that will help you build and sustain motivation. (Burke, M.)

Other benefits of wellness coaching:

• Process ambivalence: We’re complicated creatures, after all. It helps to explore the nuances of what we want, why we want it, and what barriers we are facing.

• Develop a growth mindset: Powerful force for change. Seeing your potential to grow, change, and thrive.

• Identify strengths and resources

• Reflect past successes

• Explore motivation

• Feel supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space
