Practical Type 1 Diabetes Coaching for Real Life
Personalized support for young people, young adults, parents, and families navigating the everyday realities of type 1 diabetes.
Together, we can build confidence, create sustainable routines, strengthen independence, and bridge the gap between medical recommendations and daily life.
Limited reduced-cost availability: I reserve a small number of ongoing coaching spaces for individuals and families who would otherwise be unable to afford support. Availability varies. If cost is a barrier, please mention it when requesting your consultation, and I’ll let you know whether a reduced-cost space is currently available.
How Coaching Works
1. Start With a Free Consultation
We’ll begin with a free, approximately 20-minute conversation. This is an opportunity to talk about what is happening, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
You do not need to know which coaching option you want before we talk.
2. Complete an Intake & Planning Session
All new clients begin with an Intake & Planning Session before moving into Strategy Sessions or Ongoing Coaching.
During this more in-depth session, we’ll review your intake information, relevant diabetes data, current routines, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll identify priorities and create an initial plan for moving forward.
3. Choose the Support That Fits
After the intake, you can schedule individual Strategy Sessions when you need them or choose Ongoing Coaching.
Start Here
Intake & Planning Session
$197 | 60–75 minutes
Required for all new clients.
This session gives us the time and information needed to understand the full picture—not just a single challenge or glucose pattern.
Your Intake & Planning Session may include:
Reviewing intake paperwork, goals, and current concerns
Looking at relevant diabetes data, routines, and patterns
Identifying barriers affecting daily life
Clarifying priorities for the individual and family
Creating a practical starting plan
Determining which type of continued support would be most useful
After the intake, you can continue with Strategy Sessions or Ongoing Coaching.
Two Ways to Continue
After completing your Intake & Planning Session, choose the level of support that fits your needs. Schedule individual Strategy Sessions when you need them or choose Ongoing Coaching for consistent guidance and accountability.
STRATEGY SESSION
-
60 minutes | Scheduled as needed
Strategy Sessions provide focused support when and if you need it. Some clients meet more frequently while working through a particular challenge, while others schedule a session when circumstances change or a new concern arises.
Sessions may focus on:
Creating or refining everyday routines
Reviewing patterns and identifying practical next steps
Navigating school, work, sports, travel, or other transitions
Building confidence and independence
Improving communication between parents and young people
Preparing questions for your diabetes care team
A session may include the person with type 1 diabetes, a parent, or both together.
-
Strategy Sessions — $147 per session
Ongoing Coaching
-
Two 45–60 minute sessions each month
Ongoing Coaching provides consistent guidance, accountability, and support as you put new strategies into practice.
Each month includes:
Two private coaching sessions
Reasonable email and brief check-in support between sessions
Continued review of routines, relevant data, and emerging patterns
Practical help implementing recommendations in everyday life
Support with confidence, independence, family communication, school, work, sports, and other real-life situations
The two sessions can be used in any reasonable combination—for the person with type 1 diabetes, a parent, or both together.
New clients first complete the separate $197 Intake & Planning Session. The intake does not count as one of the two ongoing coaching sessions.
Monthly sessions must be used during that billing month and do not carry forward. Reasonable rescheduling is available with advance notice.

Ongoing Coaching — $397 per month
What to Expect
Coaching is designed to help you make meaningful progress over time, not just address a single challenge in one session.
Most coaching clients work with me for approximately three to six months. Some continue longer when the structure, accountability, and support remain helpful. We’ll regularly evaluate what is working and whether coaching continues to make sense for you or your family.
Many clients want to improve their A1C and time in range while making diabetes management feel more sustainable and less overwhelming. Coaching focuses on building the practical skills, routines, confidence, and consistency that can support progress toward those goals in everyday life.

Frequently asked questions
What is T1D coaching?
T1D coaching provides practical support to help individuals and families manage type 1 diabetes more confidently in everyday life. It includes guidance, accountability, education, and strategies that help you apply the recommendations of your diabetes care team.
How is coaching different from working with my endocrinologist or diabetes educator?
Your endocrinologist, diabetes educator, and other licensed providers offer medical guidance and treatment. Coaching helps you put that guidance into practice through sustainable routines, problem solving, confidence, and consistent support between medical appointments.
Who do you work with?
I work with young people, young adults, parents, and families. Some clients are adjusting to a new diagnosis. Others have lived with T1D for years and want better routines, greater independence, improved use of technology, or a fresh approach to daily management.
Can coaching help improve A1C and time in range?
Improving A1C and time in range are common goals for coaching clients. We can work on recognizing patterns, creating stronger routines, building confidence, and becoming more consistent with daily management. These skills can support progress toward better outcomes, although specific results cannot be guaranteed.
How do I get started?
Start by requesting a free, approximately 20 minute consultation. We will talk about what is happening, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether coaching feels like a good fit. You do not need to know which coaching option you want before we talk.
Can a parent participate in coaching sessions?
Yes. Sessions can include the person with type 1 diabetes, a parent, or both together, depending on what would be most helpful.
How long do clients typically participate in coaching?
Most clients work with me for approximately three to six months. Some continue longer when the consistency, accountability, and support remain useful. We will regularly evaluate what is working and whether continued coaching makes sense.
Are coaching sessions offered virtually?
Yes. Coaching sessions are held virtually, allowing individuals and families to participate from the comfort of their own homes.
What if cost is a barrier?
I reserve a small number of reduced cost coaching spaces for individuals and families who would otherwise be unable to afford support. Availability varies. If cost is a barrier, please mention it when requesting your consultation, and I will let you know whether a space is currently available.
Does coaching replace my diabetes care team?
No. Coaching complements the care provided by your endocrinologist, diabetes educator, therapist, or other licensed healthcare professionals. Medical decisions, diagnosis, and treatment remain within the role of your licensed healthcare providers.
