​​

Research indicates that lifestyle modifications can help people manage cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type-2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and other chronic diseases and conditions, including mood disorders and anxiety.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST COACHING SESSION?
Think about what you want to get out of the coaching experience:
​
-
How do you currently feel?
-
What would you like to change about your health?
-
On a scale of 1-10, how ready are you to make these changes?
​
I will invite you to complete a brief self-assessment prior to our first session. This will include an opportunity to "dream big" about changes you'd like to make in your lifestyle and what you ultimately envision for yourself.
​
HOW DO WE GET STARTED AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Email me at janafrench9@gmail.com with a brief description of your current health, any specific medical conditions or diagnoses you have received, and what you hope to accomplish through coaching.​​
​​
All coaching sessions are conducted online (Zoom) and can be purchased individually for $75 per session, or $400 for a package of six. Most clients find that six sessions spread out over 6-18 weeks works well for establishing a new health habit.

WHAT KINDS OF STRESS MANAGEMENT PRACTICES DO YOU TEACH?
I teach a number of mind-body practices that will help you relax and regulate your nervous system: meditation, breathwork, guided imagery, and visualization.​
​
Because I am not a Reiki master, I cannot train or initiate clients in Reiki. I am happy to teach the hand positions for self-Reiki and help clients find a qualified Reiki master, if they are interested in being trained.
