Individualized Functional Medicine Health Coaching

Personalized, adaptive, client-centered

A treatment plan is only effective if it’s successfully implemented and sustainable.

 

Making changes to our behavior and lifestyle is challenging, especially so when we’re sick, stressed, and overwhelmed. If knowing “what” to do were enough, many of us would be further along on our healing journey. Individualized Functional Medicine Health Coaching seeks to bridge the gap between knowledge and action.

Every step of the coaching process is guided by you and your specific goals and challenges

A health coach is specially trained to meet you exactly where you are and help you determine where you want to be and how to get there.

Identifying your personal goals, values, and motivators can be a powerful tool in implementing change.

Coaching involves the use of evidence-based strategies such as motivational interviewing, stages of change, and goal setting, all in a client-centered process. This means every step of the process is guided by YOU.

Working with a health coach offers innumerable benefits. Here are a few:

  • Close collaboration with your other OCC providers

  • Additional education and clarification about your treatment plan

  • Personalized strategies for integrating sustainable changes

  • Increased motivation, confidence, and engagement

  • A developing sense of empowerment to achieve self-determined goals

  • Guidance for overcoming obstacles and challenges

  • Strengthened personal accountability

  • Unconditional positive regard and compassionate support

Humans are creatures of habit — with patterns worn deeply into our neurobiology. So, developing new habits is challenging, especially when we’re sick, stressed or exhausted.

We use individualized coaching to help you integrate lifestyle changes that support healing and vitality.
