After years of bedside nursing it became clear to me that something wasn’t quite right. Nurses are told to educate but the message didn’t seem to be breaking through. And what was the message anyway?I believe the message is that we human beings have more power over our health than we realize. I believe that what we eat, say and do matters. I believe that patients AND doctors need help! That is why I am pivoting to serve others as a Health Coach.Doctors are stretched thin and rarely have the luxury of supporting patients in the process of changing and  building healthy daily habits. Patients often leave a doctor’s office wondering exactly what they heard and how they’re supposed to use the information to get and feel better.My growing practice will bridge that gap by helping patients understand where they are, where they want to go and how they want to get there. If they’re not sure, my coaching can help them to gain clarity. Following that, my coaching can provide perspective , information, understanding, inspiration, direction and/or accountability.And in the end, it may even result in fewer and happier trips to the doctor!
