Meet the Coach
Hi! My name is Racheal. I am thrilled you have taken this step towards your health journey. I am a Mayo Clinic Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I am also Nationally Board Certified. I have a Master’s degree in Education.
Health and wellness coaching is a partnership between you and your coach. Your coach works as a guide to help you create a vision for your life, meet your goals, and stay accountable.
What you put in is what you get out. I fully understand that you are dealing with so much in your day to day life and that this might not be the best time to make major changes. That being said if you are ready to make major changes or even small changes with your day to day routines, health and wellness coaching could be an amazing starting point for you.
Absolutley! I had a client who was terrified she would “tramatize” me. I promise after dealing with my own medical stuff I am quite hard to tramatize. I have a good handle on what I know about POTS, MCAS, and EDS and might interject with questions about your own personal symptoms as each of these impact everyone so differently.
A little about my trama, I have gone from get all of my lesson on the coach in my middle and high school years when my POTS was bad to teaching full time. I’ve also gone from eating normally to having anaphlaxsis to every food and drink but water during MCAS flares, I’ve needed to go to the doctor and get a benadryl drip if I wanted to eat. Xolair was amazing for me and I’ve been able to get most of my life back as long as I stick to an easy diet.
$80 a session with an intital intake session of $100 so $180 for the 2 sessions.
Most people need 10 sessions so we offer the following package:
10 sessions for $750 or for $62.50 a session. This includes:
– 10 weekly or bi-weekly sessions (including the intake session)
– a 1 month follow up session
– a 3 month follow up session
– email support between sessions
– your goal workbook
Also free cancelation and free rescheduling, I know having a chronic illness is hard, please just communicate the best you can.
If you are stuggling with the cost of the session please reach out to me, I do reverse a few session each 10 week peroid at a lower rate.
The intital intake session is scheduled for 1 hour and 15 minutes, this gives us time to get to know each other and explore your needs, wellness vision, our agressment, and your goals.
After that our sessions are 50 minutes each. This gives us time to explore your goals, check in on anything happening in your life, and review your wellness vision.
At this time I cannot accept insurance. The National Health and Wellness Board is working towards getting Health Coaching covered by insurance so check back for updates.
Do check with your company as well to see if they cover any sessions, it is often a perk offered by work.
Coaching is more about your day to day life and improving it. I’m happy to work with you to look at your schedule, your doctors, and work with your knowlege of MCAS, EDS, POTS, Long Covid, etc. These sessions are tailored to you, your sympotoms, and your life.
Keep an eye out for workshops in upcoming months! I’m planning to put together a series of workshops; one for parents and teens/preteens, one for those who are newly diagnosied, and one for those who have been struggling with their chronic illness(es) for a while. These will be designed to inform adn educate you but they will not be personalized unlike the coaching sessions.
