Hi
About me
I’m sorry, but all the tests indicate…”you’ve been diagnosed with…” “Unfortunately you have…”
I remember hearing those words, the shock, the fear, the anger, the confusion. And shortly after, the overwhelming sense of “What now?”
And if you’ve found your way here, you’ve probably heard similar words. Words you didn’t want to hear, or secretly suspected. Words that shocked and practically paralyzed you. Or perhaps, words that brought a fleeting moment of relief, because you finally knew what was wrong. And the question remained the same: “What now?”
I understand and I welcome you.
Why
Integrative Life Coach?
I’ve navigated the “What now?” as a nurse, a patient, as a mother and a daughter.
In the early years as a nurse, I often wondered, how people experiencing the very same diagnosis could have such different outcomes, from glowing health on one end of the spectrum to a complete loss of the will to live on the other. I was working on a busy cardiology unit the time, and “What now?” wasn’t the primary concern for those first critical hours I spent with a patient.
Years later, as a health coach, personal trainer and yoga instructor, my clients would often share their “bad news” and ask what now? Together, (hopefully) with their doctor, they had chosen a treatment plan specific to their diagnosis. But, as for the rest of their health and lifestyle, they were basically on their own. The one constant for all of these clients: a print-out with diet instructions and an admonishment to get more exercise—and so they would come to me for help and guidance with those instructions.
But, optimal health, especially in the face of a diagnosis is so much more than diet and exercise.
Working together on the fundamentals of health and wellness, always tailored to their diagnosis, my clients began to eat better, sleep better, move more easily, recover from treatments more quickly and simply feel happier.
Without exception and regardless of the diagnosis, be it cancer, thyroid dysfunction, orthopedic issues, Polycystic Ovary Disease, Diabetes…the very best outcomes are achieved by women who actively:
Manage their lives and diagnoses. Make informed decisions followed by intentional actions. Maintain their sense of identity, independent of their diagnosis. Pursue opportunities for optimal health at every stage.Toghether
