You are always trying,

but are you succeeding?

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you leave your endocrinologist appointment with a disappointing A1C. The feedback you received was a couple of small basal tweaks and you promise to “try to stay more focused.” That focus lasts a couple of weeks before you’re back to the same old, same old. Maybe some starts and stops in between, but at the end of the day, you are in the exact same place you were three months ago.

But here’s what they aren’t telling you: simply saying you’ll be more focused, consistent and disciplined doesn’t work!

It’s time to invest in something that will.

 

Maybe things aren’t that bad, but could they be better?

You want to wake up knowing your blood sugar is in range, instead of dreading that first CGM glance… or you want to wake up well-rested instead of hitting the snooze button from all those overnight alarms.

  • You want to eat your favorite foods in peace! Bring on the pizza, Chinese food, brewery burgers… You want to know you can enjoy life and have in-range blood sugars too.

  • You want to be spontaneous and know that you can live life out of routine without everything going off the rails!

  • You are tired of worrying about lows and highs interrupting your day. You want your attention on what you truly value, like family, career, hobbies, and the Netflix show you’re binging.

  • You want diabetes to finally make a little bit of sense! The constant stress of “what will it do” is creating a ton of burnout and you feel like you’ll never do a good enough job.

  • You want daily life to stop feeling like a struggle, like you’re always trying to stay one step ahead of diabetes. You want to feel the flexibility and empowerment that you hear everyone talking about.

Here’s what you can have with coaching:

  • An intimate understanding of yourself and your own diabetes (or your child’s), not the textbook version

  • A robust toolbox of options for every occasion, and the skills to implement them whenever you need

  • A compassionate, growth mindset that doesn’t see mistakes as failures, but as opportunities

  • A support system and the resiliency to bounce back from challenges rather than feeling overtaken by them

  • Less fear, more hope

“But what do you actually do in diabetes health coaching?”

There are often fundamental components of behavior change missing in traditional diabetes education:

  • Mindset and self-talk support

  • Self-compassion

  • Obstacle planning

  • Intention implementation

  • Self-analysis and prediction

Coaching helps to support your growth in all of these areas so you can achieve your goals.

Here’s what the program looks like on the inside:

  1. After you fill out an application, we book your first intake call. It’s a 60 minute call where we go over your intake questionnaire and we establish your top priorities for our work together.

  2. Depending on your goals, we might meet weekly, biweekly, or monthly! It really depends on what you’re looking for. You won’t be locked into a program that’s more than you really need, and you won’t be prematurely discharged because your sessions ran out.

  3. In between calls, you can reach out with questions or concerns.

  4. You may also receive various exercises or assignments through my coaching resource library that will provide either education or help you develop skills toward your goals.

  5. You will get access to the Diabetes Decoded e-course, a self-paced course that walks you through my 5-step process to understanding your diabetes patterns and making compassion-centered behavior changes and diabetes decisions.

Investment:

Intake sessions are $120 for 60-minutes.

Follow-up sessions are $100 for 45-minutes.

HSA and FSA cards may pay for health coaching sessions; check your FSA/HSA provider.

 

Client Testimonials:

“I recommend coaching with Allison to dig into the mental load diabetes can have on you, to help reframe your narrative with type 1 diabetes, to better understand your data in Dexcom clarity, and to let yourself live a little more while maintaining good control.” - Milly

“After coaching with Allison, I am physically and mentally feeling more positive. My A1C and time in range have both improved. I can't explain how valuable it is to receive help from someone who knows your experiences and struggles first hand. Allison is extremely patient, understanding, and motivating. Working with her has made me feel like I am capable of gaining the control I want.” - Renee

“The biggest thing I learned is that my diabetes is about what works for me and how I can achieve my goals in bite size steps. You have to make efforts to see changes. The changes do not have to be drastic. They can be manageable. You have control over your care plan. Don't be afraid to learn what you need to be successful and ask for it or go do it!” - Heather

“I feel a lot more calm and able to assess the situation rationally before acting. I feel confident that I know what to do. I rage bolus less, and have started to develop some Fingerspitzengefühl as to what reaction is fitting. My lows are less frequent and I am more acceptant of my blood sugar levels.” - Irthe

“Any diabetic would benefit from the ideas Allison has and just being able to talk to someone who is studying to be a CDE and is a type 1 diabetic is extremely helpful.” - Hannah
