Coaching

You don't have to know where you're going yet.
You just need a place to land.

Verity & Veda offers personalized wellness coaching designed around you. It’s all about your goals, your story, your pace. Whether you're building new habits, healing old wounds, or simply ready for something to finally shift, this is a space built for that.

Meet Your Coach

Jess, MA, brings years of experience as a NASM-Certified Wellness Coach and behavioral support therapist. She founded Verity & Veda on the belief that truth and wisdom are the foundation of lasting change. Her work draws on over a decade in education, clinical training in counseling, nervous system and somatic healing, and her own lived experience navigating deconstruction, burnout, and identity transition. She holds space that is warm, grounded, and free of religious framework. Whatever you're working through, you won't be asked to fit a mold here.

"Start where you are" is not just a tagline. It is a philosophy. You do not have to be ready, healed, or certain to begin. You just have to be willing to show up as you actually are right now.

Our coaching is rooted in nervous system awareness, values clarification, somatic practice, and identity work. It is spiritual but never religious, clinical in its foundation but human in its delivery.

Mind, body, and spirit are not separate.

We work with all of them.

What is Wellness Coaching?

Get Started Today

All 1:1 coaching begins with a free 30-minute discovery call.

It’s just a relaxed, no-obligation conversation where we get to know each other, explore what you're hoping for, and make sure we're a good fit. From there, you choose the path that works for you.

  • Wellness coaching is designed for people who want intentional change.

    Something feels off. Maybe you're exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix. Maybe you can’t sleep in the first place. Maybe you've outgrown a version of yourself and you're not sure what comes next. Maybe you just know something has to change. You're in the right place.

    Together, we focus on building sustainable habits, reconnecting with your body, clarifying goals, and creating momentum toward a healthier, more grounded life.

    Coaching is collaborative, practical, and future-focused.

    You bring your goals. We build the structure to help you reach them.

    What We Work On:

    • Lifestyle and wellness routines

    • Mind–body connection

    • Strength, movement, and physical wellbeing

    • Goal setting and accountability

    • Stress management

    • Life transitions and personal growth

    • Creating balance and sustainable change

    Coaching services are provided by a wellness professional certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

    Coaching Is Right For You If You:

    • Want support creating healthier habits

    • Feel stuck but ready to move forward

    • Want accountability and structure

    • Are seeking holistic wellness guidance

    • Want growth support outside of therapy

    *Wellness coaching services are educational and supportive in nature and are not a substitute for medical care, mental health counseling, psychotherapy, diagnosis, or treatment. Clients are encouraged to seek licensed healthcare providers for medical or psychological concerns.

Packages to Choose From

  • For the person who knows something needs to change but doesn't know where to begin.

    You don't need to have it figured out. You just need a place to land.

    Take Root is a three-session 1:1 coaching experience designed to help you slow down, get honest, and start building a relationship with yourself again. No pressure to have the answers. No agenda except yours.

    • You've been putting yourself last and you're finally ready to stop

    • You're curious about coaching but not ready to commit to a longer container

    • You just need someone to think alongside you while you find your footing

    What we work with:

    • Where you are right now, honestly and without judgment

    • What your nervous system is telling you that your mind keeps overriding

    • What you actually need, underneath everything you think you should need

    • Small, sustainable practices to carry with you after each session

    What's included:

    • 3 weekly 60-minute 1:1 sessions via video

    • The option to continue into Find Your Footing with your investment applied toward the full container

    Investment: $197 (or 2 payments of $105)

    This is your permission to start small.

  • For the person who feels lost, burned out, or like they no longer recognize their own life.

    You don't have to know where you're going yet. You just have to be willing to start where you are.

    Maybe you're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Maybe you've outgrown a belief system, a relationship, a version of yourself, and you're not sure what comes next. Maybe you're in the middle of a transition that feels too big to think your way through. Maybe you just know something has to change.

    Find Your Footing is a six-week 1:1 coaching experience designed to help you get back into your body, back into your values, and back into a life that actually feels like yours.

    This is for you if:

    • You're burned out and running on empty, but you can't just stop

    • You're questioning beliefs, an identity, or a life path that no longer fits

    • You're in a major transition and feel more lost than excited

    • Your nervous system is in overdrive and you don't know how to come down

    • You're ready to stop surviving and start tending to yourself

    What we work with:

    • Nervous system awareness and regulation, learning to recognize your patterns and resource yourself

    • Values clarification, getting honest about what actually matters to you now, not who you used to be

    • Identity and story work, gently examining what you've carried and what you're ready to set down

    • Somatic and reflective practices you can use between sessions and long after we're done

    • Your own inner wisdom, because it's already there. We're just clearing the path back to it

    What's included:

    • 6 weekly 60-minute 1:1 sessions via video

    • Voice message support between sessions so you're never waiting a full week to process something

    • A personalized resource guide built around your specific needs

    • Access to V&V workbooks and guided materials throughout

    • A container that holds both the clinical and the spiritual, without forcing either on you

    Investment: $497 (or 2 payments of $265)

    Spots are limited to keep this work intentional and personal.

  • You're here because something in you knows you need support, but you haven't seen an offer that quite fits.

    Maybe your situation is layered. Maybe you're working through something specific. Maybe you just need the space to figure out what you actually need before you commit to a structure.

    Your Own Path is a personalized 1:1 coaching experience built around you, your focus, your rhythm, and where you are right now.

    • You don't fit neatly into a preset program and you're tired of trying to

    • You're navigating something specific that needs its own container

    • You want to work on a particular area of your life, at your own pace

    • You've done the preset programs before and you're ready for something more tailored

    • You're not sure exactly what you need yet, and that's okay

    We begin with a discovery call to map out what you most need to work on. Your sessions are built around that focus, not a generic curriculum.

    Choose your rhythm

    Life doesn't move at a fixed pace. Neither should your coaching.

    Weekly - Consistent momentum, deeper continuity between sessions

    Biweekly - Space to integrate and reflect between sessions

    Monthly - A steady touchpoint for those who need more time between

    What's included:

    • A free 30-minute discovery call to map your focus and build your container

    • Minimum 3 sessions of 60 minutes each, with the option to continue

    • Your choice of weekly, biweekly, or monthly rhythm

    • Voice message support between sessions

    • A personalized resource guide built around your specific focus

    • Access to V&V workbooks and guided materials relevant to your work

    • A coaching experience that holds your mind, body, and spirit together

    Investment:

    Determined together on your discovery call.

    Pricing is based on the scope and length of your container. No surprises, no pressure. We figure out what fits before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see your question here, reach out through the contact page. Every message is read personally and you'll hear back within 48 hours.

Do I need any experience with wellness or somatic work to start?

None at all. Many clients come to coaching having never heard the word "somatic" before, and that's completely fine. We start wherever you are, explain things in plain language, and build from there. The only thing you need to bring is a genuine willingness to show up.

Is this therapy? What's the difference?

This is coaching, not therapy, and that distinction matters. Therapy is a licensed clinical service that diagnoses and treats mental health conditions. Coaching is a forward-focused, collaborative process that helps you build self-awareness, clarify your values, regulate your nervous system, and take meaningful steps in your life. The work we do here is deeply informed by clinical frameworks, including nervous system science, somatic practice, and evidence-based coaching methods, but it is not a substitute for therapy or psychiatric care. If you're in active crisis or feel you need clinical mental health support, I'll always help you find the right resources. For everything in between, coaching can be a powerful place to do real work.

What does a typical session look like?

Sessions are 60 minutes, held via video call, and feel more like a real conversation than a structured program. We'll check in on where you are, explore what's coming up for you, and work through tools, practices, or insights relevant to that session. Some sessions are reflective and slow. Some are energizing and practical. We follow your lead.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends entirely on you and what you're working through. Take Root (3 sessions) is a natural starting point if you want to ease in and get a feel for the work. Find Your Footing (6 sessions) is where most clients land when they're ready to go deeper. Your Own Path lets you build something custom around your specific needs and rhythm. There's no pressure to commit to more than you're ready for, and no minimum beyond what you choose.

I've had bad experiences with wellness spaces before. How is this different?

I hear that, and I think skepticism of the wellness industry is often well-earned. What I can tell you is that this work is grounded in real frameworks: nervous system science, evidence-informed coaching practice, and over a decade of experience in education and behavioral support. There's no pressure to buy more than you need, no upselling, and no pretending that healing is linear or simple. You're allowed to push back, ask hard questions, and change your mind.

What does the free discovery call involve?

The discovery call is a relaxed 30-minute conversation. No slides, no sales pitch. We'll talk about what brought you here, what you're hoping to get from coaching, and whether I'm the right fit for what you need. You're welcome to ask me anything. If we decide to move forward together, great. If not, I'll do my best to point you toward something that serves you better.

Do you offer sliding scale pricing?

Yes. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available each month. You don't need to explain your financial situation or justify your need. Simply mention it during your discovery call and we'll work something out. Accessibility is a core value here, not an afterthought.

Do you take insurance?

Not at this time. Coaching services are not covered by insurance, and because our work together is coaching and not therapy, insurance doesn't apply here. All sessions are self-pay. If cost is a barrier, please ask about sliding scale availability — that's exactly what it's there for. Once PA licensure is in place, certain insurances will be accepted, and this page will be updated to reflect those changes.

What is your cancellation policy?

Life happens, I get it. I ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged the full session rate. I'll always do my best to reschedule within the same week when possible.

I'm not sure which package fits me. How do I choose?

Honestly? Start with the discovery call and we'll figure it out together. But here's a general guide:

Take Root is for you if you're not sure where to begin, or you want a gentle, low-commitment way to try the work.

Find Your Footing is for you if you're ready to go deeper and want a sustained container to do real work over six weeks.

Your Own Path is for you if your situation is specific, layered, or just doesn't fit a preset program. We build the container together on your discovery call.

I'm deconstructing from religion. Is this space safe for me?

Yes, genuinely and intentionally. Verity & Veda was built with you in mind. Our approach is spiritual but non-religious, and we welcome people at every stage of deconstruction, including those who aren't sure what they believe anymore. You will never be asked to adopt a particular worldview, practice, or framework. This is your space to explore truth on your own terms.

I'm dealing with stress, overwhelm, or depression. Can coaching help?

Coaching can be a meaningful support for people carrying stress, emotional exhaustion, and the heaviness that comes with hard seasons of life. We work with your nervous system, your patterns, and your inner resources to help you find steadier ground. This work is not a replacement for therapy or medical care, and if you're in crisis, I'll always help you find the right support. But for the vast majority of people navigating heavy days, coaching offers something real: a space to be honest, slow down, and start tending to yourself again.
