The services to be provided by the Coach to the Client are via tele-coaching over the
phone or video or in person as arranged between coach and client. Coaching is a
partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership, nor a doctor
patient relationship) between the Coach and Client that aims to develop the Client’s
capacity to achieve and maintain a life free of preventable lifestyle disease. Coaching is a
comprehensive, creative and thought-provoking process. As part of coaching, the Coach
and Client may discuss many areas of the Client’s life including the Client’s personal life,
family, or profession.
Upon completion of the first series of 12 sessions of coaching, coaching can convert to
an additional six (6) sessions, or the Client can renew another series.
Pricing standards:
Standard Individual rate: $1800/12 sessions. The rate for 6 additional sessions is $900.
Customized packages can be created to combine powerful combinations of individual
coaching, team coaching, and/or consulting.
​
Coach-Client Relationship
Throughout the working relationship, the Coach will engage in direct and personal
conversations. The Client can count on the Coach to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests. The Client understands that the power of the coaching relationship can be granted o​nly by ​the Client, and the Client agrees to do just that: have the coaching relationship be powerful. The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program to yield its full benefits. In this vein, if the Client believes the coaching is not working as desired, the Client will communicate that belief and take action to return the power to the coaching relationship.
Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her/their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and sessions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client understands coaching is not therapy, nor a doctor’s visit and does not substitute for therapy or doctor’s visit if needed.
Coaching Goals
Specific goals for each Client will slightly differ. Each Client that enrolls in the Coach-
Client relationship will need to understand that if the coaching recommendations are
followed, it will take a minimum of 3 months to see scaled or measurable results such
as, but not limited to, substantial weight loss, decreased HbA1C, normal blood sugars,
normal blood pressure and normal blood lipid/cholesterol levels. To achieve success,
Client must purchase minimum of12 weeks, plus a close out class (at no additional cost).
Studies have shown that complete reversal of chronic lifestyles disease like high blood
pressure and elevated blood fats can be reversed in three to six months with adherence
to lifestyle changes and adoption of a whole foods plant based diet.
