Bariatric Surgery Support & Coaching
VIRTUAL COACHING AVAILABLE
Are you ready?
Or are you not sure?
Do you wish you had someone you could ask all the questions to, someone who has been there? Well, here I am!
Deciding to have bariatric surgery is not an easy decision for some. It can take years to get to the point where you are ready to commit to this not just lifestyle change but biophysical change as well. The decision may be riddled with guilt and shame as if in some way you failed because you didn’t lose weight the “conventional way” with diet and exercise. Can I just say how exhausted I was to always hear the same thing from EVERYBODY! Meanwhile hello people if it were that easy don’t you think I would have done it already!!!! Does this resonate with you?
Does this sound like you?
-
You’ve tried the diets. You’ve paid the expensive memberships. You’ve restricted and perhaps binged, purged, and now you’re ready for something new.
-
Are you ready for healthy, sustainable, loving, self-compassionate change.
-
Are you ready to finally break the cycle, some may say in a very life altering way? Are you ready to make yourself the priority and make changes, not from a place of self-loathing, but from a place of empowered commitment to your joy and wellbeing. Because you deserve to live up to your standards, and no longer allow the prison of your weight to dictate how you live your life.
How can I help…
-
Together we will address how you got here, habits, traumas, and identify some of the core beliefs that have fueled these behaviors.
-
As needed we will identify the emotional fatigue and overwhelming thoughts and/or emotions. We will develop individualized mindfulness and commitment affirmations and re-affirmations to train your thought process, we will develop exit strategies and plans for those moments when you feel overstimulated and the temptations are at 1000.
-
We will focus primarily on all the transitional emotions you will have to navigate through as part of this process. Who am I now that I’m losing the weight? How do I navigate my old spaces in this new way, how do I communicate boundaries with those around me who may intentionally or un-intentionally try to sabotage my progress.
-
I will coach you before/during and after your surgery as part of your support team. My main goal is for you to have life-long success and that this decision not just be another self-sabotaging or additional failed-diet-alternative.
-
Bariatric surgery is a HUGE transition. You don’t have to make this big life change alone. Your Doctors, nurses, nutritionists will tell you what to expect from the surgery and the day to day management stuff. But I will focus on the mental and emotional changes that come along with this procedure. ALL areas of your life will be impacted by this decision. How your relationship with yourself, your body, your loved ones, your home, food will change. Your doctor will help you with the surgery, I’m here to help you for everything that follows.

Whatever the reason or how ever you got here weight struggles can feel so defeating, so isolating, so painful, so shameful, so uncomfortable, so embarrassing, and I can go on and on…
Let’s change that together you no longer have to be a prisoner of your thoughts or your weight.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Ideal coaching clients are those who are looking to solve current problems that are affecting their current functioning.
​
​
What is the different between coaching and therapy?
Therapy is specifically ideal for anyone who is looking to connect and heal from past traumas as well as better understand how their traumas affect their present behaviors and functioning. Therapy uses evidenced based practices to treat mental health disorders. Whereas coaching focuses on the here and now, what is happening now that you want to change. Coaching is for those who want to get ‘unstuck’ and set achievable goals. Click Here for more info.

Insurance is only available for therapy services only. Coaching is not covered under insurance as coaching is not meant for medical treatment.

I’ve never done coaching before, what can I expect?
Coaching creates a space in which you can think in a new way. In coaching you will challenge your thoughts, set goals, outline the steps to reach your goals, and you will have to go out and do the work. Coaching is work! You will hit roadblocks, you may feel discouraged, you may have to pivot to accommodate unexpected situations but the wonderful thing about coaching is that you are not alone, it’s a partnership between and the coach and client to reach the outcome you desire.
​
