Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General Questions

1. What makes your coaching and doula services different?
I take a holistic, personalized approach to wellness—whether it’s fitness, nutrition, or birth support. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you build strength, confidence, and a plan that works for your lifestyle. I also focus on education and empowerment, so you feel confident in every choice you make.

2. Do you offer virtual or in-person services?
Yes! I offer virtual coaching for personal training and nutrition clients, which includes check-ins, custom plans, and ongoing support. For doula support, I provide in-person services for labor and birth if you’re local, but I also offer virtual doula coaching if you're outside my area.

Personal Training & Nutrition Coaching

3. I’m new to fitness. Is personal training with you right for me?
Absolutely! My training style is customized to you, whether you’re a beginner or experienced in the gym. I’ll create a structured, progressive plan that builds strength and confidence at a pace that feels good for you.

4. How does nutrition coaching work?
Nutrition coaching is about helping you build habits that last—no crash diets or extreme restrictions. I provide:
✔️ Personalized nutrition guidance
✔️ Meal ideas & grocery lists
✔️ Macro/caloric adjustments if needed
✔️ Weekly check-ins for accountability

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We focus on what works for you, your schedule, and your preferences.

5. Do I have to follow a strict diet or track my food?
Not at all! My approach is flexible and sustainable. If you love tracking, I can guide you. If you’d rather focus on intuitive eating, we can build that skill together. The goal is to nourish your body in a way that feels good and supports your goals.

Doula Support

6. When should I hire a doula?
It’s never too early! Ideally, you’d reach out around 20-30 weeks, but I take clients in all trimesters. The earlier we start, the more time we have to prepare, practice comfort techniques, and create a birth plan that aligns with your wishes.

7. Does having a doula mean I can’t have an epidural or a hospital birth?
Not at all! A doula supports ALL types of births—hospital, home, epidural, unmedicated, C-section, whatever feels right for you. My job is to educate, advocate, and support you, no matter how your birth unfolds.

8. What happens if I go into labor unexpectedly or need extra support?
I’m on-call for my doula clients 24/7 starting at 38 weeks. If you go into labor, I’ll be ready to support you in whatever way you need—at home, in the hospital, or virtually. I also provide postpartum support, because birth is just the beginning of your journey!
