Diabetes Health Coaching

Chronically You supports people with all types of diabetes in finding a steadier emotional footing in a life that can feel full of extremes.

I focus on:

Mindset shifting
Burnout navigation
Small, doable steps
Practical changes that suit your needs
Repeatable tools for handling the emotional load of diabetes

I don’t promise to change your numbers: I'm here to help you feel more anchored as you move through them.

Health coaching isn't the same as sitting down with your:

Therapist
Nutritionist
Personal Trainer
CDCES
Endocrinologist
Primary Care Provider

As a health coach, I'm focused on being your accountability partner—someone who helps you explore your goals, strengthen your follow-through, and build realistic routines for your life.

My Chronically Courageous health coaching program is for anyone with diabetes (type 1, type 2, LADA, gestational, etc.) who wants support in approaching the emotional side of this condition without falling into all-or-nothing thinking.

And because I believe support should be accessible, I offer flexible pricing across all support models!

If you’re ready for steadier days, clearer thinking, and a healthier relationship with the emotional patterns that come with diabetes, let’s talk.

Don't Give Consideration Where You're Not Considered

"Don't give consideration where you're not considered" is one of those phrases that sounds empowering on its own, but can feel sharp or even dismissive without context. It's often shared as a reminder to protect your energy, set boundaries, and stop overextending yourself in spaces that don't value you. And in many cases, that reminder is necessary. But the phrase can also become a shortcut when in the wrong hands or in the wrong frame of mind.
