THE FIRST QUARTER · BETA · 10 SPOTS
I’m looking for 10 business owners and self-employed professionals to go through the First Quarter, my 12-week one-on-one health coaching program, before it opens at $1,350. You get every session and all the support for $500. I get honest feedback on what works and what doesn’t. It’s still real coaching, and I want it to make a real difference for you.
HOW IT WORKS
Twelve weeks. Four stages. One clear path.
You always know where you are and what comes next. You’d never fix a business by changing everything at once. You’d get to know it first, make a few small changes that have a big impact, build on what works, then put systems in place to keep it running. Your health works the same way.
WEEK 1
Take stock
Get to know where your health stands today, what’s getting in the way, and how we’ll work together.
WEEKS 2 TO 3
Set direction
Get clear on where you want to go, then set realistic goals and a plan to reach them, starting with what matters most to you.
WEEKS 4 TO 10
Build
Test changes in your real week. Keep what works, adjust what doesn’t, and build on your goals, with support at every step.
WEEKS 11 TO 12
Run
Put systems in place you can run on your own. From there, you choose: go it alone, or check in monthly or seasonally as life and business change.
What’s included
8 one-to-one video sessions, 50 minutes each (the first and last run about 75)
4 phone check-ins, 15 minutes each, in the weeks between sessions
Email support, with replies within 24 hours on weekdays
A self-assessment at the start, at week 3 and at the end, so you can see what changed
A midpoint review to keep or change your focus
A written summary and a maintenance plan to keep

Who I’m looking for.
This is for you if
You own a business or work for yourself
You’re ready to make your health a priority
You can commit to 12 weeks of sessions, scheduled flexibly around your week
You’d rather work with someone than spend months on trial and error
