FAQ
-
What’s a Health Coach and what do they do?
A Health Coach is a wellness professional whose main role is to guide clients to reach their health and wellness goals, whether related to sleep, energy, weight loss, stress, or much more. Health Coaches create a safe space for clients to explore their health, facilitating behavior and lifestyle changes that can be sustained for the long term.
-
Are you a doctor, dietitian, or therapist?
No. I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
I do not diagnose, treat medical conditions, prescribe medications, provide therapy, or replace medical care.
My role is to support you in building healthier habits, improving your relationship with food, creating sustainable routines, and reconnecting your health with your faith.
If you have a medical condition, are taking medication, or need specialized nutrition or mental health care, I encourage you to work with your doctor, registered dietitian, or licensed therapist.
FIAT to Health can be a supportive coaching experience, but it is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
-
What’s the difference between Health Coach, a Nutritionist and a Personal Trainer?
Nutritionist and a Personal Trainer?
While they overlap to some degree, there are some significant differences between these three positions.
Health Coaches focus on the whole person. They spend more time with their clients building a connection and trust to support lasting habits.
Nutritionists focus wholly on diet.
Personal Trainers are more focused on fitness, weight and body composition goals. -
Can a Health Coach replace a doctor?
No, Health Coaches are not a replacement for a doctor. They can work in conjunction with them for the best health results of a client. Health coaches do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, interpret medical results, and write food plans.
-
What is the difference between FIAT to Health and FIAT Mujer?
FIAT to Health is the 12-week group coaching program. It is ideal for women who want structure, community, weekly guidance, and accountability while walking alongside other Catholic women.
FIAT Mujer is the 12-week private 1:1 coaching experience. It is ideal for women who want a more personal, focused, and individualized process shaped around their real life, habits, challenges, and goals.
Both programs follow the same faith-based approach and are designed to help you restore order — body, mind, and soul.
If you are not sure which one is right for you, the best next step is to book a free discovery call so we can discern it together.
-
Can I join FIAT to Health if I am taking GLP-1 medication such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro?
FIAT to Health is NOT designed to be combined with GLP-1 weight-loss medication.
My coaching approach focuses on sustainable habits, personal responsibility, nutrition, movement, rest, emotional wellness, and faith-based transformation.
If you are currently using GLP-1 medication for weight loss, I encourage you to continue working closely with your medical provider. However, FIAT to Health may not be the right fit for your current path.
This boundary allows me to serve clients with clarity, integrity, and full alignment with the method and values of this program.
-
Is FIAT to Health only for Catholic women?
FIAT to Health was created specifically for Catholic women who want to reconnect their health with their faith.
The program includes prayer, Scripture-based reflection, Catholic values, and a Christian understanding of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Women from other Christian backgrounds are welcome if they are open to this Catholic framework and comfortable with faith being part of the coaching experience.
-
What if I am not Catholic, but I am open to the faith-based approach?
You are welcome to explore FIAT to Health if you are open to a Catholic framework.
The program includes prayer, Scripture-based reflection, Catholic values, and a Christian understanding of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
This is not a secular wellness program, and faith is not an optional add-on.
If you are comfortable with that and desire to care for your body through a faith-based lens, we can discern together if this is the right fit for you.
-
Is FIAT to Health a diet or weight-loss program?
FIAT to Health is not a quick-fix diet or a traditional weight-loss program.
While many women do experience weight loss as they build healthier habits, the focus of this program is deeper than the number on the scale.
We work on your relationship with food, daily routines, movement, rest, emotional wellness, accountability, and faith-based stewardship of the body.
The goal is not to punish your body into change.
The goal is to restore order — body, mind, and soul — so you can care for your health with peace, discipline, and purpose.
-
What happens during the 12 weeks?
During the 12 weeks, we meet weekly through live Zoom coaching sessions.
Each session focuses on one area of whole-person wellness, including faith, nutrition, movement, rest, emotional wellness, habits, accountability, and daily routines.
You will receive practical tools, reflection questions, workbooks, and weekly action steps to help you apply what we discuss in real life.
This is NOT about changing everything overnight.
It is about learning how to build sustainable habits with faith, structure, and support — one step at a time.
By the end of the program, you will have a clearer understanding of how to care for your body with more order, peace, discipline, and purpose.
-
Do I need to be healthy or in shape before joining?
No. You do not need to be healthy, fit, or perfectly disciplined before joining.
FIAT to Health is for women who are ready to begin again with honesty, faith, and support.
You may feel tired, inconsistent, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. That is exactly why this program exists.
We begin where you are and build from there — with realistic steps, grace, accountability, and a clear path back to order.
-
Do you provide meal plans?
I do not provide rigid meal plans or prescribe diets.
Instead, I help you build a healthier relationship with food, understand your habits, make more nourishing choices, and create realistic routines that fit your life.
We will talk about nutrition, portions, mindful eating, cravings, emotional eating, and practical ways to nourish your body without extremes.
The goal is not for you to depend on a meal plan forever.
The goal is for you to learn how to care for your body with wisdom, peace, and confidence.
-
How do I get started?
The best first step is to book a free discovery call.
During the call, we will talk about where you are, what you are struggling with, what kind of support you need, and whether FIAT to Health or FIAT Mujer is the right next step for you.
This is a discernment call, not a pressure call.
