Every program is one on one. I'm there every step of the trail. Virtual, and part of the same climb. They differ in how high we go and what we work on. Most climbers travel them in order, and the free call finds your starting point.
Fifteen minutes, free, no pressure. We find your starting point together, even if it is not with me, and you take home Why Going It Alone Is the Hard Way, a short paper with what the habit research found and a twelve-point checklist for choosing a coach.
Lower your carbs at your pace, from moderate low-carb to full ketosis. Your choice.
●
The whole-food keto plate: abundance, not restriction

The Electrolyte Shield: a simple routine for salt, fluids and minerals while you lower your carbs, checked with your prescriber if you take medication.

Because you pay for time on the trail. Each stage is priced by the weeks we spend working one to one. Base Camp is eight weeks. The Lookout and The Peak are twelve weeks each, so they cost the same. Higher on the mountain is not more expensive. It is just further along.

Questions climbers ask
Do I have to do the programs in order?
The climb works in order. Base Camp builds the foundation The Lookout stands on, and The Peak protects everything you built. That said, if your kitchen is already mostly real food, the free call may place you straight into The Lookout. Placement is honest, not upsold.
What's the real difference between The Lookout and The Peak?
The Lookout changes what's on your plate: a safe, phased climb at your pace. The Peak changes the life around the plate: sleep, stress, people, purpose and the rest of the eight dimensions, plus a written relapse-prevention plan to help your changes last. Food first, then life, and that order matters too.
How do I pay?
Three options. Pay for your program in weekly instalments, pay for it up front and save about 10%, or pay as you go at $125 per 50-minute session. If you'd like to climb all three programs together as The Full Climb, ask me about it on your free call.
How much time does this take each week?
One 50-minute virtual call (after a 60-minute intake), a few minutes a day of food tracking, and a weekly 15-minute Campfire journal. The cooking is cooking you'd do anyway, and we just make it simpler and better.
What happens when life gets in the way?
You keep climbing. A slip is never a fall here, and there are no penalties anywhere in any program. Off-plan moments become a two-minute Trail Conditions Report: what was happening before (stressed, tired, it was just there), used as intel for the route ahead.
Am I on my own between calls?
Never. Every program includes messaging support between sessions, plus your private and secure client portal with the week's session, your Campfire Log, and your resources, so the trail never goes quiet.
What if I'm still not sure which program fits?
That's exactly what the free 15-minute call is for. You'll leave knowing your right starting point, even if the honest answer is "not yet" or "not with me." No pressure lives on this mountain.
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry professional and general liability insurance, and I'm a Registered Health Coach with the Health Coach Alliance.
