I consult with a small number of organizations each year on projects at the intersection of coaching, behavior change, learning and development, and operations.
My clients are typically health tech startups building or scaling their coaching operations, corporate wellness teams that need expert facilitation or training design, coach training programs seeking NBHWC or CHWC approval or curriculum development support, and organizations that want to integrate coaching principles into their culture, leadership, or products.
If you're trying to build something in this space — a coaching program, a training curriculum, a quality management system, a behavior change product — and you need someone who has done it before and can help you do it well, you're in the right spot.
I'm a board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC), a clinical health and well-being coach (CHWC), a behavior change expert, and a learning and development professional with 15 years of experience across private practice, corporate wellness, and health tech.
I've built NBHWC-approved coach training programs. I've managed new hire training and continuing education for a teams of up to 300 coaches. I've consulted with the C-suite teams of five health tech startups. I've taught in four NBHWC-approved training programs.
I know how to build coaching infrastructure that works, how to train coaches who actually coach well, and how to translate behavior change science into practical systems that organizations can sustain.

I take on a limited number of consulting projects each year. Engagements are project-based or hourly, scoped to your specific needs and timeline.
The best consulting relationships I've had are with organizations that are building something they wholeheartedly believe in, have a clear problem they need expert help to solve, and want a collaborative partner who's willing to challenge your perspective to help you build the best possible product.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear about your project.
Build and operationalize coaching programs from the ground up: new hire training, quality management systems, coaching protocols, hiring frameworks, and the operational infrastructure that makes a coaching team function well.
Facilitate half-day or full-day events (in-person or virtual) focused on team development, leadership, coaching skills, self-awareness, and behavior change. Design and deliver training programs for wellness teams and people managers.
Support programs seeking NBHWC or CHWC approval, offer guest lectures within NBHWC or CHWC-approved programs, and develop NBHWC or CHWC-approved continuing education courses.
Design and facilitate one-time or recurring workshop events for organizations of any size, with a focus on your employees, your customers, or your community.
Strategic advising on coaching integration, behavior change frameworks, and systems development for mission-driven organizations working on health and wellness outcomes.
