MOUNTAIN AWAKENING COACHING
WELLNESS COACHING BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE—NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S PLAN
You may already know many ways to support your wellness. The harder question is often how to make meaningful change work within the responsibilities, priorities, circumstances, and capacity of the life you’re actually living.
Mountain Awakening Coaching is a private, individualized 12-week partnership designed to help you explore that question with support. Rather than starting with a prescribed program, we begin by understanding where you are, what matters to you, what you want to change, and what may help make meaningful change more sustainable.
Over eight private coaching sessions, we’ll explore possibilities, choose meaningful next steps, learn from what happens between conversations, and adjust as your experience gives us new information.
The goal isn’t to make you better at following someone else’s plan.
It is to help you become more confident navigating your own.

WHO THIS MAY BE FOR
Coaching may be useful when knowing isn’t the same as doing.
You don’t need to be new to wellness to benefit from coaching. In fact, you may already have years of experience trying to take care of yourself. You may know quite a bit about nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, or the habits that tend to help you feel better.
But knowing what could help and finding a way to make it work consistently are different things.
Mountain Awakening Coaching may be a good fit if something about your wellness matters enough that you’d like to give it thoughtful attention, but you’re tired of approaches that ask you to reshape your entire life around a plan. Perhaps your responsibilities have changed. What worked before no longer fits. You’ve started and stopped enough times that another dramatic restart doesn’t appeal to you. Or you simply want support figuring out what sustainable change could look like now.
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal. Part of coaching can be understanding what actually matters to you before deciding what you want to change.
You do need to be willing to participate in the process to reflect honesty, make your own choices, experiment with possibilities, notice what happens, and bring what you learn back into our conversations.
And coaching isn’t the right resource for every need. Mountain Awakening Coaching is not therapy, medical care, diagnosis, or treatment, and it doesn’t replace appropriate support from licensed healthcare or mental health professionals. If something emerges that suggests another kind of support would be more appropriate, we’ll talk about that openly.
The goal isn’t to prove that you’re ready enough for coaching. It’s to determine whether this kind of partnership makes sense for you right now.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
This isn’t eight sessions of someone telling you what to do.
There is no standard Mountain Awakening meal plan, workout plan, morning routine, habit checklist, or formula that every client is expected to follow.
That doesn’t mean coaching lacks structure. It means the structure supports the person rather than requiring the person to fit the structure.
Our work begins with understanding. We explore what matters to you, what your life looks like now, what you’ve tried before, what tends to support you, what tends to get in the way, and what you may be ready to approach differently. From there, we identify possibilities together and turn them into meaningful, realistic experiments you can take into everyday life.
What happens next matters.
If something works, we learn from it. If it partly works, we look at why. If it doesn’t work at all, that isn’t automatically evidence that you failed or weren’t disciplined enough. It’s information. We can use it to understand the behavior, the circumstances around it, and what adjustment might make more sense.
Education can absolutely be part of our work. Depending on your goals, we may explore relevant information related to movement, nutrition, mindset, rest, and recovery. But information is offered in service of your decision-making—not as a prescription you are expected to obey.
Over time, the aim is for you to build more than a collection of healthy behaviors. You begin accumulating evidence about yourself: what matters to you, what supports change, how you respond when life disrupts the plan, how to adjust without automatically starting over, and how to make increasingly confident decisions about your own wellness.
Because sustainable change isn’t about becoming dependent on a coach.
It’s about becoming better at navigating change when the coach isn’t there.
HOW THE 12 WEEKS WORK
Support when you’re beginning. Space to practice as you go.
Mountain Awakening Coaching takes place over 12 weeks and includes eight private coaching sessions. The rhythm changes intentionally over the course of the partnership.
THE BEGINNING RHYTHM
Weeks 1 — 4
During the first four weeks, we meet weekly.
This gives us time to understand what matters to you, begin developing your Wellness Vision, identify meaningful areas of focus, and establish an initial rhythm for learning and experimentation.
Early conversations give us enough continuity to notice patterns, explore what you’re experiencing, and make adjustments without waiting several weeks between conversations.
SPACE TO PRACTICE
Weeks 5 — 12
During Weeks 5 through 12, we move to every other week.
That additional space isn’t a reduction in support. It’s part of the design.
The time between sessions gives you room to live with what you’re exploring—to practice, experiment, notice what happens when plans meet ordinary life, and begin making adjustments without needing an immediate coaching conversation every time something changes.
When we meet again, we use that experience as information. We reflect on what worked, what didn’t, what surprised you, what may have changed, and what you want to carry forward or approach differently.
Across the 12 weeks, your Wellness Plan remains a living document rather than a fixed set of instructions. Trail Markers can evolve. Priorities can change. An experiment can be adjusted or abandoned. Something that seemed important at the beginning may become less important as you learn more about yourself.
RIDGELINE
The concluding conversation.
Our eighth session is your Ridgeline—a concluding conversation designed to look across the entire journey. We recognize progress and evidence, consider what you’ve learned about yourself and sustainable change, and explore what kind of support—if any—would be useful from there.
The structure gives our work a beginning, a rhythm, and a conclusion.
What happens within that structure remains individualized to you.
WHAT THE PARTNERSHIP INCLUDES
More than eight conversations.
The coaching sessions give us dedicated time to explore, reflect, learn, and make decisions together. But much of the meaningful behavior change happens in the ordinary days between those conversations.
That’s why the 12-week partnership includes more than our time together.
Your Wellness Vision
Early in our work, we’ll begin developing a Wellness Vision that reflects what wellness means to you and what you want your life to look and feel like—not an idealized version of wellness someone else has defined for you.
Your vision gives us direction without becoming another standard you have to live up to. It can evolve as you do.
Your Evolving Wellness Plan
Your Wellness Plan translates what matters to you into areas you want to explore and changes you may want to practice.
It isn’t a plan I hand to you. We develop it together, and it stays flexible throughout the 12 weeks. As you learn more about what works, what doesn’t, and what your life actually supports, the plan can change with you.
Personalized Trail Markers
Rather than trying to overhaul everything at once, we’ll identify meaningful Trail Markers along the way.
These may involve movement, nutrition, mindset, rest and recovery, or another area connected to your wellness. They aren’t standardized milestones every client must reach. They’re individualized markers that help make progress visible and give us something useful to learn from.
Between-Session Practices & Experiments
You may leave a coaching conversation with something you want to try, observe, practice, or think about before we meet again.
The purpose isn’t to assign homework for its own sake. These practices and experiments give you opportunities to discover what happens when an idea meets your actual life.
Sometimes the result will confirm what works.
Sometimes it will teach us something entirely different.
Both are useful.
Relevant Education, Tools, & Resources
When information would support your goals or decision-making, I may share relevant education, tools, or resources related to areas such as movement, nutrition, mindset, rest and recovery, or behavior change.
You won’t receive information simply because it’s available. The goal is to offer what is relevant to the work you’re actually doing—not overwhelm you with another library of things you should know.
Defined Between-Session Support
You won’t be expected to hold every question until our next scheduled session.
The partnership includes defined between-session support for brief questions, clarification, or situations where a little context may help you continue moving forward. This isn’t unlimited on-demand coaching, and it doesn’t replace our scheduled conversations, but it gives us an appropriate way to stay connected when something genuinely needs attention between sessions.
Reflection & Recalibration
Throughout the partnership, we make space to look at what your experience is teaching us.
A plan can change. A Trail Marker can change. Your priorities can change. We can slow down, reconsider, or decide that something no longer deserves the attention we initially thought it did.
Recalibration isn’t evidence that the plan failed.
It’s part of learning how to create change that can adapt with you.
Your Concluding Ridgeline
Our eighth session brings the 12-week partnership together.
The Ridgeline is an opportunity to recognize what has changed, look at the evidence you’ve accumulated, identify what you’ve learned about yourself, and consider how you want to carry that learning forward.
It also gives us a clear point to discuss what comes next—including the possibility that the best next step is simply to continue on your own.
INVESTMENT
An investment in 12 weeks of individualized coaching.
Mountain Awakening Coaching is a complete 12-week coaching partnership with a total investment of $3,000.
Choosing the monthly payment option does not make the coaching relationship month-to-month. Both payment options represent a commitment to the complete 12-week partnership.
Enrollment and payment take place only after we’ve had a Trailhead conversation, mutually determined that coaching is an appropriate fit, and completed the required coaching agreement and onboarding steps.
If you’re considering coaching, the next step is simply a conversation.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 12 WEEKS
The goal isn’t to keep you in coaching forever.
The 12-week partnership has a defined conclusion for a reason.
During your Ridgeline, we’ll look back across our work together—not simply at whether you reached a particular goal, but at what you’ve learned, what has changed, what feels more sustainable, and what evidence you now have about your ability to navigate change.
We may talk about behaviors that have become easier, choices you approach differently, areas that still deserve attention, and what you’ve learned from the things that didn’t go according to plan. We’ll also consider what support, if any, would actually be useful from there.
For many clients, the appropriate next step may be to continue independently.
That is a successful coaching outcome.
You don’t need to remain attached to a coach in order to prove that the work mattered. Part of what we’ve been building throughout the 12 weeks is your ability to recognize your own evidence, make increasingly confident decisions, adjust when circumstances change, and continue without interpreting every disruption as a reason to begin again from the beginning.
There may also be times when continued support would genuinely add value. When that’s the case, Mountain Awakening offers a lighter Continued Coaching option on a month-to-month basis. Continued Coaching includes two 45-minute private coaching sessions each month, generally scheduled every other week, along with between-session email support. The investment is $450 per month.
Continued Coaching isn’t an automatic next stage, and it isn’t something you need to decide about now. It’s simply available when we both believe continued support would be useful.
The end of the 12 weeks isn’t designed to create another dependency.
It’s designed to help you recognize what you can carry forward.
THE NEXT STEP
Before coaching begins, we start with a conversation.
Reading about coaching can help you understand the approach, structure, and investment. But it can’t tell either of us whether working together would actually make sense.
That’s why every potential Mountain Awakening Coaching relationship begins at The Trailhead.
The Trailhead is a complimentary, approximately 30-minute conversation where we can talk about what brings you here, what you’d like to be different, what kind of support you’re looking for, and whether coaching may be an appropriate next step.
It isn’t a coaching session. You won’t leave with a prescribed wellness plan, an assessment, or a list of things you need to start doing. And there is no obligation to enroll in coaching afterward.
Instead, The Trailhead gives us enough space to understand where you are and what you’re looking for to make a thoughtful decision about fit.
Sometimes the answer will be yes.
Sometimes another resource or type of support may be more appropriate.
And sometimes you may simply decide that now isn’t the right time.
All three are useful outcomes.
If we both decide Mountain Awakening Coaching is an appropriate fit, and you would like to move forward, I’ll guide you through the coaching agreement, enrollment, payment, onboarding, and scheduling process.
You don’t need to make a $3,000 decision before we’ve ever spoken.
You only need to decide whether a conversation feels like a useful next step.
