You deserve a spot on the list.

Health and wellness coaching for educators and busy professionals who are curious, willing to experiment, and tired of putting themselves last.

You're in the right place if...

  • You pour your energy into your students, colleagues, or clients, while your own health and wellness are put on the back burner

  • You hold yourself to a high standard in the classroom or at work, and the perfectionism is leaving you overwhelmed

  • You’re curious by nature, often looking for new ideas and better ways of doing things

  • You like to experiment and see what sticks, and you’d like to do that for yourself

Multiple options to fit your needs

Discovery Session | Free

We’ll have a short conversation about what you’d like to change in your life and see whether working together feels like a good fit for both of us.

  • One 20-minute video session

Clarity Session | $125

In this single, focused session, we’ll work through a specific challenge that’s been on your mind. You’ll have space to get clearer on what you want, and we’ll explore a few practical next steps you can try on your own.

  • One 45-minute video session

Core Package | $825

We’ll begin by looking at your health and wellbeing through the lens of your values and what matters most to you. From there, we’ll choose an area to focus on and work on it together over three months, guided by goals you set within the context of your daily commitments.

  • Seven 45-minute video sessions over three months

  • One last-minute reschedule if needed

  • One complimentary 20-minute follow-up session within three months of package completion

Extended Package | $1,625

This package follows the same approach as the Core Package, with more time to work through challenges and build new habits. The extra time gives us room to go deeper and make adjustments along the way.

  • Thirteen 45-minute video sessions over six months

  • Two last-minute reschedules if needed

  • One complimentary 30-minute follow-up session within three months of package completion

About me

I’m a professor, teacher educator, and health and wellness coach. I’ve spent my career in higher education working with current and future language teachers who care deeply about their work and have high expectations for themselves.Over the years, I’ve become increasingly interested in how we balance our professional lives and personal wellbeing. When we care deeply about our work, it’s easy for our own needs to become less of a priority. And even when we know what we want to change, that knowledge doesn’t necessarily make change easy.That’s what led me to coaching: the opportunity to support educators and other professionals in giving their own wellbeing more attention, especially when work makes it difficult. I especially enjoy partnering with teachers, academics, and other education professionals, though I’m able to work with anyone who feels stretched thin.As a coach, I won’t tell you what you should do or give medical or health advice. Instead, I offer space to step back and think about what you want for yourself, alongside guidance from your own health care providers. You know your life better than anyone else. My role is to help you reflect on what matters to you and decide what, if anything, you’d like to do differently.Coaching is a chance to give yourself time and attention that can get lost in a busy professional life. You don’t have to arrive with a clear plan or even know exactly what you want to change. If you're curious whether health and wellness coaching is right for you, the first step is to book a complimentary discovery session.

What it's like working with me

I can't say enough good things about Jason. He helped me not only transform old routines that no longer worked, but also realize I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Every session left me feeling motivated, supported, and capable of achieving more than I thought possible. His guidance was practical, and his belief in me helped me believe in myself. If you are ready to level up your health and wellness, this is the coach you want in your corner.
––Suzanne D.
Jason has been wonderful to work with. His thought-provoking questions helped me reflect on what was working well in my life and identify areas where I wanted to make improvements. His guidance and support helped me move in a positive direction, one that I had wanted to pursue for some time but wasn’t sure how to achieve on my own. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our sessions. I’m incredibly grateful for Jason’s guidance and would highly recommend working with him!
