Coaching
I offer remote, one-on-one coaching services for people with T1D that nurture and strengthen mental, emotional and spiritual health. I work with individuals, influencers and providers, and combine lived experience with T1D and professional coaching expertise to deliver meaningful results.
I’ve lived with T1D for over 30 years, and navigated through domestic violence and divorce, parenting and workplace abuse, Covid and more. And despite a history of eating disorders I learned to manage T1D without relapsing.
I embrace diversity, equity and inclusion, and reject stigma.
I can help you:
Develop self-awareness and self-compassion practices to mitigate the emotional and psychological burden of living with T1D.
Replace negative self talk with positive self-regard and kindness.
Address burnout and overwhelm by gently addressing the roots of dis-ease to create the real, practical changes you desire.
Attend to your spiritual health and wellbeing. I’m spiritual not religious (raised Catholic) and hold space for whatever practices are meaningful to you.
I work with:
People with T1D, especially if diagnosed later in life (I was).
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes. (I was borderline for gestational diabetes.)
People with T1D and a history of eating disorders. (I recovered from bulimia.)
People with T1D and a history of domestic violence. (I was in an abusive marriage when I was diagnosed.)
Influencers or providers with T1D. (They’re helping everyone else and forget to help themselves!)
Organizations focused on the mental/emotional health of people with T1D, or any kind of diabetes. (I can develop programs for individuals and groups).
People/organizations looking for a writer to write personal stories/essays about living with T1D.
I’m available for podcast interviews.
Coaching Options
Drop-ins are literally that. Hour-long calls unconnected to ongoing coaching. You are free to talk about whatever is on your mind in that moment and get advice, coaching or a combination of both.
One on One Coaching Sessions are consecutive. We mutually agree on a minimum number of sessions as well as what you want to work on. You can always add sessions.
Scheduling & Payment Options
Payments are made ahead of Drop-ins and ahead of 1:1 Coaching Sessions. I use Venmo but will consider other types of payment.
Fees
Drop ins are 1 hour long; fee is $115.
1:1 Coaching Sessions are 50 minutes long; fee is $145 per session.
Please let me know if money is an issue.
