No. Practical wellness counseling — never diagnosis or treatment. If therapy or medical care would help, we’ll point you there.
Not at all. Most clients simply book a discovery call; we’re glad to coordinate with your care team.
Both. Maren sees clients in lower Manhattan and virtually; Claire works virtually from California.
It varies — twelve focused weeks for some, a full year through fertility to postpartum for others.
We would start by looking at what made those plans hard to keep. The next step should fit your actual week, not demand endless willpower.
