Posted almost 4 years ago Are You Tired of Not Having Enough of Yourself to Give? As a certified wellness coach working as a solo practitioner I often wonder how you do it, day in and day out. A typical day may look like this for you: Patient A walks in and is mad, sad, and in denial. She has just learned that she is diabetic and needs to meet with a nurse educator on how to manage her disease process. You have a smile for her and an empathic welcome and start your education process, yet by the time you are done with the program while being very patient, maintaining enthusiasm, and compassion, patient A still leaves with a frown on their face. You wonder will she get it together, will she come to her next appointment, will she manage the disease well, will she strive and have the quality of life we all desire? As a well coach I can help with her lifestyle dreams and provide her with the extra support she needs but you don't have the time to give..... If your patient is motivated and needs encouragement, support, and a champion please refer them to my website: http://www.healthylivingnow.us And just maybe your patient will be beaming when you see her next and is grateful for the referral... I would love to get your feedback! And perhaps some referrals for those patients that want more help.
Thanks!!
