Coaching ($125)
“Simply put, coaching is where you work with someone to connect with yourself, redesign your environment and your life, and then take action to implement it!” – Emma-Louise Elsey
What is this Coaching stuff anyways?
Coaching, whether focused on lifestyle, mental health, relationships, nutrition, health, or spirituality, aims to empower individuals to create sustainable changes and prioritize their well-being in a supportive, non-judgmental setting.
As a certified Wellcoaches Lifestyle Coach, I draw on specialized education and personal experiences to help you identify your development goals and enhance self-awareness and self-improvement. Our goal is to understand your current situation while guiding you toward your vision for the future, making those aspirations realistic and sustainable.
If you are being referred by a physician or a therapist, please contact us for further details.
Coaching is designed to complement, not replace, your existing medical or mental health treatments, all for your personal growth and betterment.

What to Expect
At Salas Wellness, we recognize the significance of a 66-day timeframe for habit change, as research suggests that this duration is typically required for a new behavior to become automatic. This period facilitates consistent practice, allows for adaptation to challenges, and helps solidify new behaviors into lasting habits.
Initial Appointment:
We invite you to schedule a two-hour initial consultation with your coach from Salas Wellness. During this session, we will review your health profile and discuss your goals.
Following the initial meeting, you will engage in eight one-hour coaching sessions with your lifestyle coach. Throughout this process, you will receive weekly summaries and occasional motivational text messages to support your progress.
Pricing Structure:
– The initial two-hour appointment with one goal is offered at $125.
– Each of the subsequent one-hour sessions with one goal is priced at $125.
– For each additional goal, there is a fee of $25.
For example:
– Initial appointment with one goal: $125
– Subsequent sessions with one goal (2nd to 8th sessions): $125 each
– Subsequent session with two goals (2nd to 8th sessions): $150 each
Duration Rationale:
The nine-week program is designed to align with the average timeframe of approximately 66 days (or 9.1 weeks) required to form a habit, although individual experiences may vary based on the complexity of the behavior changes.
- Consistency Development: The nine weeks allow for the development of strong neural pathways linked to your intended behaviors.
- Adaptation and Adjustment: This timeframe provides opportunities to tailor new behaviors to your lifestyle, enabling you to overcome challenges and integrate them into daily routines.
- Ongoing Evaluation: During your ninth session, we will assess the impact of your new habits and make any necessary adjustments to support long-term maintenance. We will also determine if additional sessions are needed.
It is important to note that habit formation varies amongst individuals; simpler habits may take less time, while multiple behaviors may require additional time to solidify. Consistent practice is crucial for establishing new habits, and the support of a coach enhances the likelihood of success.
Group Coaching:
We provide group coaching sessions (3-6 participants) that focus on specific topics, which are beneficial for companies and worksites. For group discounts, please contact us directly.
Couples Coaching:
We also offer couples coaching, limited to two participants per session. The pricing is discounted to $125 for the first participant and $75 for the second, totaling $200 per session. The nine-session framework applies to both individuals. Couples must attend all sessions. For more information, please reach out with any questions.
Note: Lifestyle coaches are not therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, nor psychologists and do not diagnose, treat, nor prescribe medications. If further help is needed, it will be recommended.
What Goals Are Covered?
After answering the health and well-being profile, and after careful review from your coach, your goals will come to light. You’ll see the benefits of starting one over another and prioritize.
Topics are numerous with a coach on board. You name it, we can cover it. If not, we can refer you to someone who is on board too.

This ensures your privacy is protected and information is shared only as directed for coordinated care.
Testimonials
Melinda M: I’ve learned that exploring my thoughts can be intimidating, but taking a step back and thinking about what’s important to me has helped me let go of things that didn’t matter. I’ve realized that no one had ever really asked me about my values before, which made me feel heard and understood. I’ve come to understand that taking care of my mind is just as important as taking care of my body. Through journaling and keeping my self-care promise, I’ve been able to enjoy being myself and trust my intuition over the past year. I feel empowered to speak up and use my voice every day.
D.I. – Army Vet: “Mind, Body, Spirit – If you want to make a positive change in your life, I highly recommend SalasWellness!”
