How this program works
In the first visit, which lasts about an hour and a half, I get to know you, your health and vitality issues, and your life situation. I do pattern recognition with the information you give me verbally and on a health questionnaire. I will make some focused physical observations. Then I tell you my impressions about what the patterns mean and I suggest the first steps, physical and mental, toward your health and vitality goals. You tell me how this sounds to you and we intelligently cooperate to develop the program you will follow until the first follow up visit.
Follow up consultations usually take place at two to four week intervals. These may be office visits or telephone consultations lasting 30 minutes to an hour. In these visits you tell me about your progress, which we track symptom by symptom on a flow chart using a quantitative rating scale. Thus, we have a clear graphic representation of how well we are doing. Where there is not satisfying progress, I will suggest and we will develop together midcourse adjustments in your program.
When you are dealing with an intense challenge, we may consult more frequently. You may also, free of charge, telephone for brief contacts and/or email for support.
Holistic Health and Performance Coaching
This program is for people who prefer the educational model to the medical model or who live too far away for an initial office visit. In Health Coaching, I do not take medical responsibility or prescribe drugs, since I will not have the opportunity to examine you. I will otherwise make available to you the full range of my knowledge and expertise in interventions on all levels, body-mind-spirit. I will make recommendations for actions on each level and may suggest lab tests and consultation with local physicians in your area.
In this program you will gain most of the same learning as in the medical program:
Please see "In this program you will learn," under Holistic Medical Consultation, above.
You may need the cooperation of a physician in your area to implement some of the desirable interventions. I will help you find such a physician if your personal physician won't help. Even without the cooperation of a local physician, you can make excellent progress. Many avenues are open to you when you know where to look for them.
How this program works
You have the option of a free 20 minute strategy session in which I will learn what your issues and expectations are and whether I believe I can help you. If not, I will tell you. If I believe I can help you and I feel that we would enjoy working together, I will tell you the strategy and beginning tactics I believe will best serve you. Then, if you decide to go ahead, we will schedule a full evaluation consultation, which will take about an hour.
If you already feel that this program is for you and you wish to get right to work, we will begin with the full evaluation.
Follow up telephone consultations usually take place at two to four week intervals. These last 30 minutes to an hour. In these visits you tell me about your progress, which we track symptom by symptom on a flow chart using a quantitative rating scale. Thus, we have a clear graphic representation of how well we are doing. Where there is not satisfying progress, I will suggest and we will develop together midcourse adjustments in your program.
When you are dealing with an intense challenge, we may consult more frequently. You may also, free of charge, telephone for brief contacts and/or email for support.
