Personalized Lifestyle Coaching: What to Expect in Your First Session

At Ojas Wellness, your first personalized lifestyle coaching session is designed to be a warm, supportive, and empowering experience. Our holistic approach focuses on understanding your unique health journey, integrating both modern medicine and traditional wellness principles central to our practice.

During your session, your coach will take the time to get to know you as a whole person—not just your symptoms. We’ll discuss your medical history, daily habits, nutrition, physical activity, stress levels, sleep patterns, and any specific concerns you may have. This is a safe space to share your motivations, what’s worked for you before, and what you hope to achieve with our guidance.

Your coach will listen attentively and may take notes to ensure our recommendations are thoughtfully tailored to your individual needs and to the Ojas Wellness philosophy of balanced living. Together, we’ll identify your priorities and set realistic goals that fit your lifestyle, values, and preferences. We’ll also explore any barriers that may have stood in your way before, so we can help you discover practical, personalized solutions.

By the end of your session, you and your coach will agree on a few manageable steps to get started, along with a plan for ongoing follow-up and support. Our coaching process is always collaborative and non-judgmental, rooted in compassion and respect. We’re here to empower you, help you build confidence, and support you as you take your first steps toward lasting, holistic wellness.

Your first lifestyle coaching session typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. This extended appointment allows our experienced team to get to know you in depth—exploring your health history, current habits, wellness goals, and any specific concerns you wish to address. During this initial session, we take the time to ask comprehensive questions so we can fully understand your unique needs and expectations. This personalized approach helps us lay the groundwork for a tailored wellness plan that aligns with your lifestyle.

The first session at Ojas Wellness is also an opportunity to build a trusting partnership, clarify how our coaching process works, and set realistic, achievable goals for your journey ahead. While the exact length of the session may vary based on your individual needs, our focus is always on ensuring a thorough assessment and a clear, supportive pathway for positive lifestyle change.

Our goal is to support your journey toward optimal health and well-being. Before your first coaching session, you don’t need to do anything extensive to prepare, but a little reflection can help you get the most from your experience. Take a moment to consider what aspects of your health or wellness you’d like to improve. Are there specific challenges—such as stress, sleep, nutrition, or lifestyle habits—that you hope to address? Jotting down your thoughts or any questions can help focus our conversation.

If you’ve received any forms or information from your Ojas Wellness coach ahead of time, reviewing these will help us personalize your care and make your session more productive. Most importantly, come with an open mind and a willingness to engage honestly about your health and goals. This approach will help us create a supportive, collaborative partnership on your path to wellness.

Our approach to health and wellness coaching is rooted in collaboration and partnership. Rather than simply giving you instructions, our coaches work alongside you to understand your unique needs, clarify your goals, and explore what truly motivates you. Together, we develop a personalized wellness plan that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

During your first visit, Dr. Bita Bahrami takes a holistic approach to evaluating your health journey. She asks thoughtful questions about your daily habits, emotional well-being, and areas you’d like to improve. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear roadmap with practical steps designed specifically for your lifestyle.

Your coach acts as a supportive ally—offering expert, evidence-based guidance while empowering you to take an active role in your health journey. Throughout our coaching relationship, you will be encouraged to participate in decision-making, ensuring that changes are both meaningful and sustainable. By working together in this way, you’ll gain the confidence and practical tools needed to achieve your goals and nurture your overall well-being.
