Empowered Habits Bariatric Health Coaching
Weight loss surgery is an enormous investment of money, time, and effort. That investment can result in incredible improvements in health, mobility, and quality of life, but many bariatric surgery patients struggle to incorporate the habits needed for long term success. That’s where bariatric health coaching comes in!
What does a bariatric health coach do?
Hi, I’m Shaina. As your bariatric health coach, I am here to help you:
- Implement sustainable, long-term habits
- Develop a healthier relationship with food
- Treat yourself with love and compassion
I am not a doctor, therapist, dietitian, or licensed medical professional. I will not give you medical advice, and you should consult with your surgery team and healthcare providers before implementing any new health habits. Their advice can at times feel overwhelming, however, so my purpose as a coach is to help you incorporate the habits they recommend in an achievable, sustainable way.
Together, we will create the conditions in your life that make success inevitable.
What are my health coaching credentials?
I am a certified health coach and life coach through the Health Coach Institute, a six month program of coursework and preparatory coaching sessions.
I am also a bariatric surgery patient myself. In November, 2021, I had gastric sleeve surgery through Elias Ortiz and Co. Since then, I have lost half my body weight (more than 165 pounds!), have transformed my health, and have changed my relationship with food and with myself for the better. Most importantly, I have focused on developing long-term habits to help those positive changes last.
Having been through weight loss surgery myself, I will approach your unique challenges and triumphs with empathy, compassion, and encouragement.
How do I meet with you?
If you are selected for a free introductory session (see application information below), we will have an initial 30-minute meeting over Zoom, where we will discuss where you’re at now. We’ll talk about your current habits, your struggles, and where you’d like to be 90 days and one year from now.
Based on this consultation, we’ll then discuss next steps. If coaching feels like the right fit for you, you can then sign up for my Empowered Habits Bariatric Coaching package. In this 90-day-program, we’ll meet over Zoom for 45 minutes once each week
What happens in a bariatric coaching session?
Coaching sessions are 45 minutes long and are held one-on-one over Zoom. Most sessions are held Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings.
We’ll begin each session by celebrating your recent wins and talking about any roadblocks you’ve encountered in incorporating healthy habits into your life. Together, we’ll visualize how each habit will change your life for the better, anticipate likely challenges, adjust goals to be more manageable, and create concrete plans to make success inevitable.
How much does bariatric coaching cost?
Introductory coaching sessions are free of cost; however, openings are limited, and not all applicants will be selected for an introductory session. Coaching sessions after the initial consultation are currently 20% off through the end of January 2024.
During the 20% sale, clients who sign up for the 12-week program on a payment plan will pay three monthly payments of $480 for a total of $1440. Clients who pay up front and in full for the 12-week program will pay $1152, a further 20% savings from the already half off program price. One time coaching sessions cost $144/session during the 20% off sale.
Payment can be made here.
I will share the 20% discount code with you by email after your introductory coaching session.
