How does Total Health Coaching work?
In our initial start-up conversation, we will discuss what you want from a coach, what you’ve tried, where you’re struggling, and most importantly, what habits you would most like to change. We can focus on one or more of the following seven Total Health areas:
- Movement
- Nutrition and Hydration
- Sleep and Recovery
- Life Purpose
- Home and Work Environment
- Social Connection
- Joyful Rejuvenation and Longevity
Then what?
In each subsequent conversation, we discuss four important questions:
- What "wins" occurred since we last talked, no matter how big or small?
- What challenges or obstacles came up?
- What is the most important upcoming goal?
- What support does a client need to make that thing happen?
We teach clients how to make small, consistent, and achievable short-term changes, in order to achieve huge long-term life changes and growth. In short, we keep our clients moving forward.

"I love the new direction that you are going in [with Total Health] and look forward to it all and more! I feel so blessed to have been working with you these past years. So, so fun working with you."
- CN, alpine client-turned-Total Health client
"I have had a few very inspiring role models in my life, and they all shared some key characteristics. They were REAL; no games, no hidden agenda, no more sugar coating than is necessary. They were EMPATHETIC; they took time to understand me in more than a one-dimensional way, and they did their best to help me any way they could. They were THOUGHTFUL and INTELLIGENT; they did not deal in prepackaged answers and found the best ways to explain their "discoveries" in a way others could readily understand. They had a great sense of HUMOR. They were OPEN about their own struggles and anxieties; they knew that, as good as we may be as teachers, we'll all be students forever. And yes, you check all those boxes"
