The Admin-Free Coach book cover

You became a coach to transform lives.
Not to spend Tuesday afternoon chasing invoices.

Navigating Well helps solo wellness coaches cut the admin tax, price what they’re worth, and run a practice that doesn’t run them.

Most coaches didn’t sign up for this

Most coaches didn’t get into this work to become their own bookkeeper, scheduler, and IT department.

But that’s what happens. Five disconnected apps. Underpriced sessions because pricing “felt too pushy” to fix. Hours every week that never show up on an invoice.

The Admin-Free Coach names it and fixes it — chapter by chapter, starting with exactly how much your current setup is costing you.

Two ways to start

When you’re ready to go further

Reading the book tells you what to build. The Operational Audit is where I build it with you — the system, streamlined and running in your actual practice, not just outlined on a page.

About

I’m David Richardson. Before this, I spent years in healthcare — clinical nursing, then running IT — watching good people get buried by admin that had nothing to do with why they showed up to work. Wellness coaching has the exact same problem, just with different tools. Navigating Well is what I built to fix it.
