Why the first session is an hour

What shapes your energy is in the details of an ordinary week. Charlotte takes the time to hear them before suggesting anything.

What you'll talk about

  • Your sleep and wake times across a week
  • Where your energy holds up and where it drops
  • Eating habits and timing
  • Stress, work and home routines
  • Movement you enjoy, and what gets in the way
  • What a realistic week looks like for you

What this isn't

  • Diagnosis, testing or reviewing lab results
  • Prescriptions or treatment for a condition
  • Urgent or emergency care
  • A replacement for your regular provider

In these sessions Charlotte is your wellness consultant, not your healthcare provider. If something you mention needs medical attention, she'll say so and suggest you see your own provider.

keep your regular provider. this is the hour in between.

What you'll walk away with

A written plan for your actual week, emailed within 48 hours after your session.
  • A few specific changes, not thirty
  • Written around your schedule, not a template
  • Yours to keep, whether or not you continue

  • DNPDoctor of Nursing Practice
  • FNP-BCBoard-certified family nurse practitioner
  • ND + MNLicensed in both states

Charlotte is a family nurse practitioner in Grand Forks. In her clinical practice, patients often mention that she takes the time to listen.

Alternative Wellness is where she offers that same attention as wellness consulting: a full hour, a written plan and follow-through if you want it. In these sessions she's your wellness consultant, not your healthcare provider, so keep seeing your own provider for medical care.

Fair questions

The ones to settle before you request your hour. Anything else? Call (701) 317-1747.
What is included in the hour?

A 60-minute video session with Charlotte about your routines, energy, sleep, stress and what a realistic week looks like for you. Within 48 hours after the session you receive a written wellness plan by email. The first hour costs $149 and has no follow-ups or messaging included.

Is this medical care?

No. This is wellness consulting and lifestyle education. Charlotte is a family nurse practitioner, but in these sessions she isn't acting as your healthcare provider: she doesn't diagnose, review labs, treat conditions or prescribe. Keep seeing your regular provider for your medical care.

Where must I be located?

Sessions are by video, and you need to be physically in North Dakota or Minnesota during each session. We'll confirm where you are at the start of the call.

What happens after the hour?

Your written plan arrives within 48 hours. You can stop there, enroll in the 90-Day Reset for follow-up sessions every two weeks, or choose Keep Going for monthly check-ins. There's no pressure to continue.

When am I charged?

Not when you send the form. For the first hour, we send a secure Stripe payment link once your time is confirmed. The Reset is charged when you enroll. Keep Going is charged on your start date and then monthly until you cancel.

Does insurance or an HSA/FSA cover it?

We don't bill insurance. General wellness services often don't qualify for HSA or FSA payment, so please check with your plan administrator before using one of those cards.

What if it's not for me?

If Charlotte decides during your first hour that this service can't help with your goals, she'll tell you before the session ends and refund your $149 in full. That applies to the first hour only. Other refunds are in our Refund Policy.

Will you text me?

Only if you tick a box saying so. Appointment texts and tips are two separate boxes, and both start unticked. Reply STOP any time.

Can I cancel Keep Going?

Yes. It renews monthly until you cancel. Call or email at least 3 business days before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. No contract and no cancellation fee.
