FAQs 

​

STRENGTH COACHING & PERSONAL TRAINING
 

Who is this coaching for? Anyone who wants to get stronger — whether you've never touched a barbell or you're training for a powerlifting platform. I work with women and men at all levels, but I have a particular passion for supporting women who are new to strength sports or who've felt out of place in gym spaces.
 

Do I need to be in US  to work with you? No. Online coaching is fully remote — I coach clients across the US and internationally. All you need is access to a gym (or home equipment) and a phone or laptop for check-ins.

What's the difference between online and in-person coaching? Online coaching gives you a fully customised programme delivered via Google Sheets with video links, weekly check-ins, and form video feedback — all on your schedule. In-person sessions are hands-on, live coaching at a gym in Austin. Both include the same level of attention and detail; the format is just different.
 

How does the trial week work? You pick the tier that matches your goals (Starter, Coached, or Elite), pay upfront for one week, and I build you a real programme — not a sample. You get a check-in and form feedback where relevant. At the end of the week you decide if you want to continue. If you do, it rolls straight into your chosen monthly plan.
 

What happens after I book? You'll receive a client intake form to fill in before we start. This covers your goals, training history, health background, and schedule. I use this to build your programme. First session or programme delivery is typically within 3–5 business days of receiving your completed form.
 

Can I switch plans? Yes — you can move between the Starter, Coached, and Elite plans at any monthly renewal. Just message me before your billing date.
 

Do you offer nutrition coaching on its own? Currently nutrition coaching is only available as an add-on to an existing coaching plan, not as a standalone service. Book a call to know more. 
 

What equipment do I need for online coaching? It depends on your goals and what's available to you. I'll build your programme around whatever you have access to — commercial gym, home gym, or minimal equipment. Let me know when you fill in your intake form.
 

How do I pay? All payments are processed securely through Wix. You'll be directed to a checkout page when you click any "Book now" button. Monthly plans are billed automatically on renewal.
 

What is your cancellation policy? Monthly coaching plans can be cancelled before the next billing cycle. Trial weeks and single sessions are non-refundable once the programme or session has been delivered. Session bundles are non-refundable but transferable with notice.
 

MEDICAL WRITING

What types of medical writing do you offer? I specialise in academic and clinical medical writing — including manuscripts, systematic reviews, grant writing support, regulatory documents, medical education content, and science communication for lay audiences.

What is your background? I hold a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and a PhD in Animal Science with I have 8+ years of experience across clinical research, oncology, and academic writing. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and used by clinicians and life science organisations worldwide.
 

How do I get a quote? Click the "Request a Quote" button on the Medical Writing page and fill in the brief form. I'll follow up within 2 business days with a proposal and timeline.
 

Do you work with non-US clients? Yes — I work with researchers, clinicians, and organisations globally.
 

INTERNATIONAL PET RELOCATION

Is this service available yet? This service is currently in development. If you have an upcoming international move and want to get on the waitlist, contact me directly and I'll be in touch when it launches.
