Dana - Cultivating Generosity
"It takes time to practice generosity, but being generous is the best use of our time."
Thich Nhat Hanh

How much do you charge for coaching?

I expect payment per session, but in the amount you feel is deserved and affordable. This is a Buddhist practice of cultivating generosity called dana, a practice of providing lessons or service out of generosity. Equity in healthcare is important to me, so I provide this health coaching without expectation of payment for the first two sessions. Thereafter, I do ask for payment per session in any amount between $5 and $100 per session

What is a Nurse Coach?

A board-certified Nurse Coach is a Registered Nurse who has received additional hours of training, mentored-coaching and completion of certification testing from the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation. A nurse coach can coach groups and individuals on any topic, not just health.  

How do I send payment?

Complete the payment form on the Send Payment page. I accept credit card, PayPal, Venmo or check.

Do I have to sign a contract for a certain number of sessions?

No. There are no contracts required. Coach as many times and for whatever time frame that works for you. You are required to review and agree with the coaching agreement and terms and conditions which can you find on the booking form. 

What topics do you coach around?

I coach on any health topic within the boundaries of coaching. My nursing experience may be helpful at times, especially in the area of cardiac health. Coaching is not medical care, medical advice, or therapy. As your coach, I'll help you put into action the steps you want to take to help you reach your goals. If the topic veers away from coaching boundaries, we'll talk about where you can get the help you're looking for.

How Do You Use Nature in Coaching?

Nature has many health benefits. I find that meeting for coaching while we are both in a natural space has a grounding, calming effect and further cultivates progress. I encourage people to either walk or sit in a natural area while we coach to help that innate calm and natural wisdom to enrich the coaching process. That could mean something as simple as sitting by a window with a view of a natural area, near a potted plant, or a small fountain. It might also mean hiking to a remote area that has cell service and meeting there for coaching on a mountain top. For more information on the health benefits of nature, see my blog here.
