Primary care professionals

From my experience, you as a practitioner want your client to succeed and be the healthiest they can be. You play a crucial role in that success by diagnosis and proper treatment of your patients. More and more you are likely giving your patients work to do to improve their health during and after their time being treated. However, when clients leave your office they tend to lose focus, motivation and accountability to their programs that you have developed for them. Your influence over their success drops once they are no longer seeing you or if too much time passes between appointments. Clients are known, for example to not take medicine or supplements, eat, exercise or perform required health behaviors as you’ve prescribed. Program and treatment compliance is the number one challenge for you and your patients.

To put it simply, patient often don’t do as their told. This could reduce or ruin their chances of success. I am here to help your clients succeed. I help clients who already have a healer who has given them a program to follow for their health. I help keep patients:
 

  • Accountable to themselves and to you
  • Motivated to stay on program
  • On track with their program- no more “I forgot to do that”
  • Structured

Clients may say they know what to do, but they often don’t do it unless they have someone to check in with. That is what a coach is for. When clients have this assistance, they are more likely to succeed both short and long term. I help clients develop the lifestyle necessary for long-term optimum health, using your medical advice as the foundation of the program. I report client progress to you as desired and I am always available to discuss a patients program to ensure they are on track. I also can help to integrate programs from several different types of practitioners into a workable program for the patient. With my understanding of holistic health and my ability to help clients develop and implement the lifestyle changes required for long-term health and wellness, we can work together to ensure your clients success with your prescribed health program and overall wellness.

I DO NOT either give medical advice nor treat conditions. That is your domain. I just make sure that your clients adhere to your programs and recommendations and offer feedback from my perspective. By doing this I am NOT taking business away from you because I cannot and do not replace your vital service to the client. I am only a coach to help your clients succeed.

Body work professionals
