About About It

About It takes a personalized approach to weight loss and wellness coaching in Puyallup, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Our team of certified health coaches and nutritionists works closely with each client to understand their unique challenges and create realistic, achievable goals.

We believe lasting weight loss comes from understanding your relationship with food, movement, and stress. Our supportive environment helps clients build confidence while developing healthy habits that fit their real lives, not unrealistic expectations that lead to frustration and failure.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive health coaching services begin with a thorough lifestyle assessment that examines your current habits, stress levels, sleep patterns, and relationship with food. We provide one-on-one coaching sessions that focus on behavior modification and mindset shifts essential for lasting change. Nutritional counseling goes beyond meal planning to include food psychology, emotional eating patterns, and practical shopping and cooking guidance. We teach you how to read your body's hunger cues and make choices that support both weight loss and overall energy levels. Our program includes weekly group sessions where clients share experiences and learn from each other's journeys. We provide educational workshops on topics like stress management, meal prep, and navigating social eating situations. Progress tracking includes regular measurements, photos, and wellness assessments that capture improvements beyond the scale. We also offer corporate wellness programs for local businesses, bringing our health coaching expertise to workplace environments where sustainable wellness habits can flourish.

What to Expect

Your journey starts with a comprehensive intake session where we explore your health history, current challenges, and personal goals. We discuss your motivation for change and identify potential obstacles that have prevented success in the past.

The first month focuses on establishing foundation habits like consistent meal timing, adequate hydration, and stress management techniques. We introduce changes gradually, ensuring each new habit becomes comfortable before adding the next.

Months two through six involve refining your approach based on what's working and addressing challenges as they arise. We celebrate non-scale victories and help you recognize the many ways your health is improving beyond just weight loss.

Why Choose About It

Our focus on sustainable behavior change sets us apart from programs that promise rapid results through extreme measures. We combine the expertise of certified health coaches with nutritional counseling to address both the psychological and practical aspects of weight management.

Our approach is non-judgmental and meets you where you are, regardless of your starting point or previous attempts. We understand that successful weight loss requires addressing the whole person - mind, body, and lifestyle circumstances.

Many of our clients report improved energy, better sleep, and reduced stress levels even before significant weight loss occurs. This holistic improvement in well-being often becomes the motivation to continue making positive changes long after completing our program.

Insurance & Pricing

While insurance typically doesn't cover health coaching services, we offer flexible payment options to make our programs accessible. Our basic coaching package starts at $150 per month and includes bi-weekly sessions and email support.

Comprehensive programs that include nutritional counseling and group workshops range from $250-350 monthly. We offer sliding scale fees for qualifying individuals and payment plans that spread costs over the program duration. Many clients find the investment pays for itself through reduced medical expenses and improved quality of life.

First-Time Patient Tips

Prepare for your initial consultation by reflecting on your health goals and what success would look like for you personally. Bring any recent lab work or health assessments, and be ready to discuss your current eating patterns and activity levels honestly.

Consider your schedule realistically and think about when you'd have time for coaching sessions and implementing new habits. We'll work together to create a plan that fits your life, but your commitment and consistency are essential for success.

Come with an open mind and willingness to try new approaches. Many of our most successful clients are those who've been willing to examine their beliefs about food, exercise, and self-care, and make adjustments based on what works for their unique situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between health coaching and personal training?

Health coaching focuses on overall lifestyle changes, behavior modification, and sustainable habits rather than just exercise instruction. We address nutrition, stress management, sleep, and mindset alongside physical activity recommendations.

How often will I meet with my coach?

Most clients meet with their health coach bi-weekly for 45-minute sessions. We also provide email support between sessions and emergency check-ins when you're facing challenges.

Do you provide specific meal plans?

We provide nutritional guidance and help you create meal frameworks that work for your lifestyle, but we focus more on teaching you to make good choices independently. This approach leads to better long-term success than rigid meal plans.

What if I have dietary restrictions or food allergies?

Our nutritional counseling can accommodate any dietary restrictions or medical conditions. We work with your existing healthcare providers when necessary to ensure our recommendations support your overall health needs.

How do you track progress beyond weight loss?

We track energy levels, sleep quality, stress management, eating patterns, and fitness improvements. Many clients find these measures more motivating than scale weight, especially in the beginning stages.

Can you help with emotional eating issues?

Yes, addressing emotional eating patterns is a core component of our coaching approach. We help you identify triggers, develop alternative coping strategies, and build a healthier relationship with food.

What happens if I don't see results right away?

We adjust your program based on what's working and what isn't. Sustainable weight loss often involves initial focus on building healthy habits, with weight loss following naturally as these behaviors become consistent.

Do you offer virtual coaching sessions?

Yes, we provide both in-person and virtual coaching options to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Many clients find virtual sessions just as effective and more convenient for their busy lifestyles.
