As a health coach, I will work with you to figure out how best to simulate activities you’ll do on your trip before you leave, so you can be ready to really enjoy them when you get to your destination. 

We’ll work together so you find the time and energy to add more activity into the weeks before you leave. I’ll help keep you on track through accountability and encouragement. 

You’ll get more comfortable with the activities you want to do, and gain confidence so you can make the most of your trip.

Health coaching is different than personal training in a few ways:

• Health coaching is a collaborative approach that helps you achieve your goals through activities you’re excited to do. Health coaches don’t dictate workout plans – they co-develop a plan with you that aligns with your preferences and interests.
• Health coaching can be done via phone or video chat, or in person, since the purpose is to create goals and plans that you will act on independently. There’s no whistle or stopwatch involved in health coaching.
• As a health coach, I’ll work with you holistically on your well-being and lifestyle, including physical activity, eating habits, stress factors and more. Often the factors that impact your health are inter-related, so I’ll help you figure out how to make changes across different parts of your life.
• Since I’m also a certified personal trainer, you’ll get appropriate guidance on training plans and exercises that will get you ready for the activities you want to do on your trip.

I offer the initial consultation for free so you can get an idea of how I can help you before you commit to a package. It also gives you an idea of if coaching will help you get to where you want to be. 

When you work with me, you’ll get personalized attention, guidance and accountability to help you take the steps that are best for you to reach your goals. My clients tell me it’s especially helpful to meet with me weekly to review their progress, learn what’s working (or not), and adjust what they’re doing to stay on track. Here’s how one client puts it:

Weekly sessions have helped me identify self-care goals that are important to me, and experimenting with different strategies to meet them has been revealing and fun.  With Becki’s help, I’m discovering that the “right” way to take good care of myself is finding and using the practices that are sustainable and “right” for me! – Christy Fitzpatrick

Yep, there’s a ton of information out there – it can be conflicting and confusing, and it may not be backed by proof. You can spend hours trying to sort it all out, and then figuring out how you’re going to actually do it is a whole other exercise (literally and figuratively).

A health coach helps you focus on the activities and opportunities that will work best for you – which means you’re far more likely to enjoy it AND stick with it!

As a personal trainer and health coach, I’ve learned about how effective various physical activities actually are, and how to motivate my clients to actually do them.
