About Us
What is a financial coach?
A financial coach is a professional who helps individuals develop the knowledge, habits, and confidence needed to make informed financial decisions and achieve their financial goals. Unlike financial advisors who primarily focus on investments or wealth management, financial coaches focus on education, behavior change, budgeting, debt reduction, financial mindset, and building sustainable financial habits.
At Rx For Wealth, financial coaching is designed to provide practical, personalized guidance in a supportive and judgment-free environment. Whether navigating student loans, creating a budget, paying off debt, preparing for major life transitions, or building long-term financial confidence, the goal is to empower healthcare professionals with the tools and strategies needed to reduce financial stress and create lasting financial wellness.
The Heart Behind Rx For Wealth
Healthcare professionals dedicate their lives to caring for others—but few of us ever receive formal education on how to care for our own financial well-being.
After 28 years as a clinician and health professions educator, I've seen firsthand how financial stress can affect every stage of a healthcare career. From students graduating with overwhelming debt to seasoned providers wondering where their paycheck goes, financial uncertainty is one of the most common—and least discussed—sources of stress in our profession.
Rx For Wealth was born from my own journey of financial mistakes, recovery, and ultimately, financial peace. That experience, combined with my career in healthcare and my training as a Certified Financial Coach, inspired a new mission: to help healthcare professionals build confidence with money so they can spend less time worrying about finances and more time focusing on their patients, their families, and the lives they want to live.
At Rx For Wealth, the goal isn't simply to improve your finances—it's to improve your quality of life. Financial wellness creates options. It reduces stress, supports professional longevity, and allows you to practice with greater purpose and peace of mind.
