FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Nutrition Coaching: Consultation: complimentary Session $90/hour single, $75/hour when you buy a package of 4 sessions. Massage Therapy: Varies. Personal Training: $75 + traveling fee (if applicable). Sessions are an hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Nutrition Coaching: I give a half hour complimentary consultation. In this session, we will go over your health history, your needs, desires/goals and willingness to change lifestyle habits. We will also discuss rates and options for sessions. You'll get to know me and specifics about how I work with folks to see if it's what you are looking for. Some Context: I use a permaculture metaphor in my coaching. Permaculture is a framework in agriculture that works off the premise: everything is connected and either contributes to the vitality of the whole, or the detriment. Making small changes is highly effective and, when done properly, can promote results that are desirable, sustainable, as well as more beneficial over time. I started doing this with myself and continue to experience more benefits over time, which is one reason why I started doing this for and with others. After the Consultation: At the end of the session, we will decide if we want to work together, go over the pricing options (my rates are $75-$85 per hour session moving forward from that point, and I'll explain what you get with that pricing etc), and any problem solving that might need to go along with any part of the pricing or timing of it. Next Steps: I send a fillable form for you to fill out and to return to me at least 24 hours before our consultation. Massage Therapy: I serve the SF Bay Area and offer Mobile Massage (that means you don't have to leave your house!). Sessions range pricing-wise depending on distance travelled and length of session. I offer Sensory Repatterning which is a clothed, very gently and effective treatment for most chronic conditions as well as an excellent way to sense relaxation and spaciousness in the body. I also offere Swedish, Deep Tissue, and other Myofascial work as well. Before our first session, I ask you to fill out an intake form and have a short consultation with you to determine what your needs are and how I can best serve them. Personal Training: Similarly, I come to you (or, a park we both agree upon). I have plenty of toys to play with, and a bit of imagination. Here again I will have you fill out an intake form before our first session and have a conversation about what your goals are.
