How a Certified Health Coach Can Help You Overcome Health Challenges and Thrive
Apr 14, 2023Are you tired of feeling like your health is out of your control? Do you feel overwhelmed and confused by the different health advice and information? You're not alone. Managing your health can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. This is where a Certified Health Coach and Whole Health Nurse Educator can help.
Hii, my name is Jade. I studied developmental psychology, worked as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens for almost ten years, worked as a Registered Nurse in a county hospital for nearly ten years, and now I'm a Certified Family Health Coach studying Whole Health Education. I specialize in helping moms with autoimmune diseases conquer their health challenges and thrive. I also help empower you to include your whole family in the process to protect your kid's future health.
I have witnessed first-hand the gaps in health care as a patient struggling with chronic pain, inflammation, and autoimmune disease, then worked in a pharmacy and a hospital. My life experiences guided my career decisions to understand my body and eventually learn how to heal myself. And now, it's time to guide you on your health journey.
In this blog, I will share how a health coach and Whole Health Nurse Educator can provide the personalized support and guidance you need to overcome health challenges and thrive. We'll cover everything - from creating a tailored wellness plan to navigating the healthcare system.
It all starts with reminding you that YOU ARE WHOLE. You have everything within you to overcome your pains and health obstacles. I am here to empower your process by providing the education to take control of your health and achieve your goals. Here are the general steps we complete when we work together
Creating a tailored wellness plan
To create a tailored wellness plan, we will complete a comprehensive, holistic assessment of your current lifestyle, health status, and goals. This often includes a review of your symptoms, how you eat, physical activity, sleep patterns, stress levels, and other factors that may be impacting your health. Then, as a Family Health Coach studying Whole Health Education™๏ธ, we look at how all of the above relates to the five aspects of health: physical, mental/emotional, nutritional, environmental, and spiritual/values. Based on this assessment, we can develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and preferences.
I avoid the "band-aid" approach and, instead, partner with you to uncover the root cause of your health concerns. This whole health approach helps you understand how your past lifestyle habits and experiences affect your current health and future risk. I may understand the science behind health through education and my personal experiences, but YOU are the expert on your body, and together we would make a great team to reach your wellness goals.
I provide you with evidence-based education that will empower you to adjust your diet and exercise regimen and strategies for managing stress and improving sleep quality. I will give you all the resources or tools, such as meditation apps or health-tracking devices, to help you stay on track and monitor your progress.
I provide ongoing support and accountability throughout the process, helping you stay motivated and focused on your goals. With regular check-ins and progress updates, you'll be able to see the positive changes you're making to take control of your health.
Navigating the healthcare system
Partnering with me, you can access my knowledge and expertise as a registered nurse and certified health coach. We don't just talk about personalized plans and provide ongoing support; I can help you navigate the healthcare system, also. So, if you're struggling to understand medical terms or facing insurance roadblocks, I got you.
Fostering lifestyle changes
One of the most transformative things we will work together on is creating and committing to lasting lifestyle changes to help you take charge of your health. You will learn how to make smarter food choices, meal prepping, establish regular exercise routines, balance stress, and more. These changes are not quick fixes; they are habits that will impact your health and well-being long-term.
In conclusion, working with a certified health coach and whole health nurse educator offers many benefits for those looking to overcome health challenges and thrive. By creating a tailored wellness plan that impacts your whole health, providing support and accountability, navigating the healthcare system, and fostering lifestyle changes, a health coach can empower individuals to take control of their health and achieve their goals.
