Carla Moss, FMCHC, NBC-HWC

Carla Moss is a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach who has been health coaching since 2012.  She received her health coaching training and certification from The Functional Medicine Coaching Academy which is a collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine where Dr. Bera-Miller received her Functional Medicine training. Carla also trained with the Institute of Transformational Nutrition and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she also received specialty certifications in Hormone Health and Emotional Eating Psychology. Finally, Carla is also currently training to become a relationship coach.

Using principles of integrative and functional medicine, coaching, and positive psychology, Carla coaches patients through the lifestyle changes needed to optimize their health.  She works closely with patients to ensure that they understand their care plan and to help them co-create their own health goals and step-by-step action plans for achieving them. Carla can help you find your own motivation for change and help you determine and utilize your own strategies for achieving your health goals including how to overcome obstacles. She can help you to make sustainable healthy changes by providing individualized guidance, support, and accountability - all of which lead to significant improvements in health. 

Carla is available to PIFM patients Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, including for in-person visits on Mondays in our San Ramon office. If you would like, Carla can do a 15-minute complimentary phone call to know if this is a good fit for your health needs. Visits are $150 for the hour, with discounts being available for 3 and 6 month packages since consistency with health coaching ensures best health outcomes. Your FSA/HSA funds may be able to be used for Health Coaching sessions. Also we will be using relevant codes on health coaching visit receipts in case your health insurance carrier may reimburse for such sessions. Definitely don't hesitate to ask your HSA/FSA account representative and health insurance carrier about this.  

In her non work time, Carla enjoys functional movement, strength training, and disco dancing. When cooking she likes to adapt recipes into healthier versions. She also enjoys reading books on healthy aging and finding purpose, and whenever possible she spends quality time with her two adult sons.
