Why I Don’t Offer A La Carte' Sessions or 90-Day Programs

(And What I Do Instead)

Healing Doesn’t Happen on a Deadline

If you’ve ever started a 90-day program with hope in your heart and supplements in your cart—only to feel unfinished, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by the end of it—you’re not alone.

I’ve been there. And I’ve seen it with clients too.

Here’s the honest truth:
Healing isn’t linear. It’s not a checklist. And it sure as hell doesn’t follow a 90-day timeline.

So why do so many practitioners still offer cookie-cutter, time-bound programs? Because that’s what the industry says we’re supposed to do. And for a while, I followed that model too—until I saw it fail my clients firsthand.

🍂 What I Learned From the “Standard” Model

In my early years as a health coach, I offered the typical 3-month container. And I also offered à la carte, session-by-session support. But as a functional practioner, here’s what I found

One-off sessions weren’t enough.

A client would get excited, do the intake, complete a functional test, and even order their supplements. Then… nothing.

No follow-up. No next steps. No real change.
And not because they didn’t care—because they didn’t have a container of support to keep going.

Without ongoing check-ins or accountability, it was too easy to stall out. I became a stop on their healing journey—not a partner in it.

90-day programs created pressure.

Some clients made progress, sure. But most were just getting started when the program ended.

In those first 4–6 weeks, we’re laying groundwork:

  • Starting nutrition shifts

  • Supporting the nervous system

  • Introducing protocols

  • Addressing lab results

But deep healing work? That takes longer.
Especially when we’re working through years (or decades) of stress, symptoms, and system dysfunction.

And I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep selling people a timeline that didn’t honor the work their body needed.

🌱 Why I Switched to Session-Based Packages

Now, I use a model that’s flexible, supportive, and rooted in how real healing actually works.

I don’t tell you how long your healing should take.
Instead, I create the space and support for you to heal on your own timeline.

With session-based packages, we can:

  • Adjust pacing based on your nervous system and lifestyle

  • Honor what your labs reveal (not rush the protocol)

  • Build changes sustainably

  • Stay connected throughout your process—even between sessions

It’s not “just buy sessions when you feel like it.”
It’s structured support with space to breathe.

⏳ Why Sessions Are Spaced the Way They Are

In the beginning, sessions are typically every 2 weeks. That gives you time to:

  • Integrate changes without overwhelm

  • Start supplements or new routines

  • Tune into your body’s signals

  • Actually experience shifts

Later, we space them every 3–4 weeks, which helps:

  • Support autonomy and habit-building

  • Reduce overwhelm and burnout

  • Maintain momentum without pressure

And in between? You’re not on your own.
Clients receive messaging support, guidance, and reminders so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

💡 Why I Offer Three Tiers of Support

No two bodies need the same plan.

That’s why my offerings aren’t “jumpstart vs. premium.”
They’re about matching your:

  • Lab needs

  • Health complexity

  • Budget

  • Readiness for change

Here’s a peek:

  • Tier 1: Foundational Support — For clients just starting out or working on simpler goals

  • Tier 2: Moderate Support — For those needing 2–3 labs, guidance, and steady check-ins

  • Tier 3: High-Touch Support — Ideal for complex cases or those ready to go deep

✨ You get what your body needs—not what a timeline dictates. Learn more about each here.

🧍‍♀️ Real Talk from the Healing Room

Let me tell you about two clients.

💔 One completed a full lab panel, joined for a beautiful 2-hour intake, ordered her supplements—and then disappeared. She reached out a few times but didn’t book another session. Not because she didn’t care. Because she didn’t have structure. She wasn’t supported. And she stalled out.

💡 Another wanted to move forward, but her budget made her hesitant. She wasn’t sure she “needed” the coaching peice. But here’s the thing:
Coaching isn’t just advice—it’s translation, accountability, and nervous system support.
It’s the difference between information and transformation.

That’s why structure matters. That’s why support matters.

🌟 The Root of It All

I didn’t leave the sick-care system just to rebuild it with better branding.

I left because I believe in care that’s:

  • Personalized

  • Flexible

  • Trauma-informed

  • Rooted in your biology—not someone else’s business model

So I stopped offering 90-day programs.
Not because I don’t want your healing to happen quickly…
But because I want it to last.
