HG: What is the uniqueness for you about coaching health consultants/coaches?
I don’t really see a difference between health coaches and other coaches in terms of special attention. I think most coaches have the same challenges and need unique coaching based on what they are going through.

HG: Where did you get the inspiration from to do coaching especially in the holistic health sphere?
My inspiration came from my own challenges. A few years ago I was really sick, and I was sick for several years. I tried everything I could think of to get better, to no avail. At some point I decided enough was enough and I decided to heal myself. I did it using my mind and I healed myself in just two weeks! I had done many changes prior to this, with regards to diet and lifestyle which had helped me feel better but ultimately the traditional methods and doctors were unable to help me. They didn’t understand what was wrong with me. I know how frustrating it can be for people who are sick and not feeling well to find the right help. Through the work I did I was also guided to learn additional methods of healing.

HG: What was the most overwhelming experience for you coaching a health practitioner?
I’m constantly reminded of the power of our minds and how just small shifts in the mindset of my clients can transform their business completely. Many of my clients need help with pricing their services and programs in a way that benefits both the client and themselves. I recently worked with a client who was not making any money in her healing business, and in 2–3 weeks she filled her brand new high-end group program. She went from zero to a significant monthly income in just a few weeks, selling what I would consider a very untraditional program. What really happened is we transformed her belief about money and abundance, and she learned how to use her mind to attract wealth. She was astounded about how powerful her beliefs were, and what changing them did for her business and income.

HG: What do you think about online/remote health services? Do you advice your clients to do that step?
I think it’s a great addition to any other kind of health service. I work with clients all over the world, and because I can do it virtually, people who live in far away areas get access to what I offer. Most of my clients want a location-free business, so usually I help them create programs that can be sold and implemented remotely.

HG: What do you find the most challenging in your daily professional life as a coach?
In the past my challenges were time and feeling overwhelmed with everything I felt I needed to do to be successful. Today I feel like I have overcome my big challenges, but I would say time still sometimes can be a challenge, as I am a single mom and I only work a few hours per day when my kids are in school. But mostly now I’ve figured out a system that works and when I follow it, it works great.

HG: What mistakes do your clients mostly make that prevent them from being a great health coach?
I think the biggest “mistake” is that they don’t believe enough in themselves. They sometimes over-extend themselves in helping others, not realizing they are hurting themselves and getting burnt out in the process. You cannot heal others if your cup is empty. A healer needs to take time for self-care, and they need to set up their business in a way that nurtures both themselves and their clients.
