Get in touch

Ask first. Climb later.

Nobody should hire a guide they have never spoken to. Send me whatever is actually on your mind, in whatever words you have for it, and you will get a straight answer back from a person. Book a free video call, call or text, or send a message. Messages come straight to me.

There's no wrong question

I'm not sure this is for me. Should I still get in touch?Yes, and feel free to say exactly that. If a program or the timing isn't right for you, I'd much rather you understand that now than later. We can talk about the stages of behaviour change, which can help you see where you're at.
I'm not sure what to ask, but I know I need help.That's a great time to use the free discovery call. I'm not here to convince you, but I can share some (hopefully) helpful information for your journey.
How do I know you're any good?Fair question. I'm an HCA Registered Health Coach, I'm insured, and I trained at McMaster University. After our call, I'll send you a paper at no cost. One of its pages is a guide on what to look for in a coach. Score me. I carry professional and general liability insurance.
Will you tell me what to eat?No. I share information and you decide. Don't just listen to me either. It's information. You are in control.

Not sure how to put it? Just say it your way.

Send a message

I answer every message myself

Three quick fields. You'll hear back from me within one business day, usually sooner. Sending a message won't put you on a mailing list. If you've asked for the quiz result or the free guide, you'll get those emails, and every one has a one-click unsubscribe.

Sending a message won't add you to a mailing list. Please don't include personal health details here; we can talk about those on the call. How I handle your information: Privacy →

Some questions are just easier out loud

Fifteen minutes, no cost Book your free discovery call instead

If what you want to ask is really a conversation, put fifteen minutes in the diary and we will have it properly. It is free, it is by video, and there is nothing to prepare or buy. Bring one honest answer: what have you already tried, and where did it come apart?

Two things that answer most questions on their own

A switchback trail up a mountain with five numbered waypoints, representing the five stages of change
Two minutes Five waypoints. Which one are you standing on?

Nobody leaps to a summit. Change happens in switchbacks, and there are five recognised waypoints on the way up. The free readiness quiz tells you which one you are on today, which is usually the real reason the last few attempts came apart where they did.

Six questions on where you are with change right now. Your result shows on screen. No email needed.
