For Healthcare Providers.

Do your patients need more support than you have time to provide?

Are you frustrated that you don't have enough time to support and educate your patients more closely on healthy habits and behavior change?

Are your patients frustrated because they need more hand-holding and accountability than you have time to give?

Are you running out of steam and realizing your own health and well-being are taking a beating?


As a healthcare provider, your time is a premium, and so is your health. In your patient encounters, you may only have time to make recommendations and outline a plan ... but some of your patients need close support and assistance in actually implementing that plan. 

That's exactly where I come in!

As a health and wellness coach, my job is to help clients establish the lifestyle behavior changes needed to live a healthy, vibrant life.

I can help your patients ensure they understand the care plan you created for them. I work closely with them to implement the complex lifestyle changes that are often required to make significant improvements in their health.

In fact, the American Medical Association has this to say:


"Health coaching is a team-based approach that helps patients gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active participants in their care. The old saying, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime” demonstrates the difference between rescuing a patient and coaching a patient. Patients with chronic conditions need to learn how to fish. Health coaching can be supplemented with health literacy strategies and effective communication techniques, such as ask-tell-ask, teach-back and/or action planning to ensure patient comprehension of their care plans and help them achieve their goals."

Why work with me?

 

I am a nationally certified Health and Wellness Coach, and I received my Master Certified Coach training through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. Learn more about me and my work with healthcare workers here.

I work with clients privately to coach them towards their health goals and find lasting wellness. Each client’s journey is as unique as they are, and my program focuses 100% on you. You pick the direction, and I will along with you. True coaching is client-led, client-directed, and client-focused.

Money should never stand in the way of good health. My services may be covered by FSA or HSA with a doctor’s referral and recommendation.

How do my services work?

I work one-to-one with clients (either in-person, over the phone, or through telehealth) to coach them on healthy lifestyle changes, so they can overcome any barriers standing in their way

I help guide clients through the overall plan you have recommended and work with them to create detailed, step-by-step action plans

I meet with clients on a regular basis to provide accountability and constant support

My sessions with clients are 50 minutes long, providing ample time for personalized attention and support

I help each of my clients create individualized health goals, tailored to fit with their lifestyles, challenges, and needs
  
I help my clients achieve their health goals, so they can return to you, their physician, with improved markers

Who is a good candidate for referral?

The ideal candidate is highly motivated to make changes to their lifestyle, but needs guidance and support to implement healthy changes.

What next?

Fill out a HIPAA compliant Referral Form with your patient’s information, and I will contact them to set up a free 20-minute consultation.

If your patient needs a Letter of Medical Necessity to submit for their FSA/HSA, scroll down for a sample letter and editable pdf to make the process as easy as possible.
