It’s my honor and pleasure that you’re considering me for life coaching or holistic health counseling. Here’s what I do:

Holistic Health Counseling

I am a holistic health counselor (CHHC) certified through the American Academy of Drugless Practitioners. This means that I’ve been trained to help educate you to live vibrantly all your life.  I’ve also studied health and wellness all my life, was a health writer for magazines for years, and have written books in this field such as Younger by the Day, Fit from Within, The Love-Powered Diet, and the Oprah-featured Fit from Within.. I work “hands on” with clients here in Manhattan and by phone and Skype with people anywhere. My specialties as a holistic health counselor are:

• Weight loss & food issues — I myself am maintaining a 60-pound weight loss for over twenty years. I am especially effective at working with compulsive overeaters, and my work dovetails well with the Overeaters Anonymous program if you’re part of that or plan to be.
• Transition to veganism/raw foods – As a vegetarian since age 18 and a vegan for over twenty years, I’m an experienced teacher and guide.  My book, The Love-Powered Diet, contains a detailed guide to this way of life. I’ve been on the high-raw path since 2005 and have received extra instruction in raw food nutrition, so I can help you make this transition in the real world and prepare glorious food while you’re doing it.
• Midlife issues and aging exquisitely! – I feel better now, past 50, than I ever have, and you can, too

Note: As a holistic health counselor, I am an educator. I am not licensed or qualified to diagnose or treat any disease. If you are under the care of a physician, you are to follow his or her instructions at all times.

Life Coaching

I’m a life coach certified through Coach Training Alliance, and I’ve had a practice in New York City, and by phone and Skype around the world, since 2004.  My particular expertise is spiritual-life coaching, an intuitive approach that helps you unearth your inner wisdom. When a client requests it, I can combine Life Coaching and Holistic Health Counseling at no extra charge, thus “Charmed Life & Health Coaching”! I do not do career or relationship coaching, but I can refer you to excellent coaches in those areas.

The Coaching Readiness Questionnaire

Here are some questions to answer as you consider coaching with me. Are you:

• Ready to take on the world and desiring a mentor for your journey?
• Wanting to get fitter, healthier, and increase your odds for a long, rewarding life?
• At an impasse, “stuck,” ready to move forward?
• Part of a Twelve Step fellowship and seeking a life coach who can understand and complement the work you’re doing there?
• In possession of a dream – for a book or a business, a move or a movement, something large or small but very close to your heart – and needing someone to help you get there?

If you answered “yes” to even one of these questions, I can be of assistance.

Please note: coaching is not therapy and I am not a therapist. The coaching process does not concern itself with resolving deep-seated psychological issues. It is, rather, focused, individualzed work with a motivated adult who wants to change her life (or his – I do have some clients who are men!) for the better.

“Victoria Moran’s warm, practical and enlightened life coaching provided me with immense comfort during a long-distance job relocation. Her advice transformed a difficult transition into a transformative spiritual journey.” (Amy Gonigam – Baltimore, MD)

Notes on Charmed Life & Health Coaching & How It Works

Clients enroll for coaching on a monthly retainer basis. You opt for coaching in order to accomplish something, reach a goal or a series of goals. Because it’s not about “fixing you,” coaching is not a lifelong commitment, although past clients are always welcome back for a refresher or to work on something new.

Fees & Enrollment for Life Coaching, Holistic Health Counseling, or a Creative Combination

Retainers:

• $395.00/Mo for three 30-minute sessions, plus short calls and emails as needed (or $1,085.00 for 3 Months)

• $450.00/Mo for three 45-minute sessions, plus short calls and emails as needed (or $1,250.00 for 3 Months)

• $575.00/Mo for three 60-minute in-person sessions in New York City, plus short calls and emails as needed (or $1,600.00 for 3 Months)

Onetime consultation:

Coaching was designed to work on a retainer basis, with repetitive sessions and charted progress. I understand, however, that sometimes you’re in a pinch and need some information, inspiration, or counsel right now. My onetime phone consultation fee is $150 for a 45-minute session; I will meet with you in Manhattan for a one-time session for $200.

Special Services:

In addition to life and health coaching, I also offer:

Services to writers…As a professional writer since age 14 (I wrote about rock groups for teen magazines) and the author of ten books from major publishers, I am happy to work with any nonfiction writer on your book proposal, article, editing, publishing questions, etc. Same fees as for coaching (above).

Services to speakers…I’ve addressed groups of up to 2500 people across the US, in the UK, and even Iceland where I was invited to inspire people after their country went bankrupt. I can help other speakers, professional or aspiring, to overcome stage fright, speak in a fluid and engaging way, include humor and storytelling, and bring an audience to their feet. Same fees as for coaching (above).

Private health tours of the Lower East Side…If you’ll be visiting New York City, take advantage of my personally guided adventure of raw food, holistic healing, and vegan shopping in Downtown Manhattan, along with six hours of guidance and “bending my ear.” The grand tour includes brunch and lunch at two exciting natural foods restaurants, shopping at raw, vegan, and environmentally oriented shops, and foot reflexology in Chinatown. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fee, including meals and reflexology treatment, is $425 for the first person, $225 for each additional person, five maximum.

Private raw food prep classes…Come into my kitchen in south Harlem and learn to make green juice, green smoothies, super salads, pasta, sushi, and fabulous desserts. 4-hour class with lunch: $475 for one student, $250 for each additional friend you bring.
