For Physicians
Do your patients need more support than you have
time to provide?
Are you frustrated that you don't have enough time to support and educate your patients more closely on healthy habits and behavior change?
Are your patients frustrated because they need more hand-holding and accountability than you have time to give?
As a doctor, your time is a premium. In your patient encounters, you may only have time to make recommendations and outline a plan ... but some of your patients need close support and assistance in actually implementing that plan.
That’s exactly where I come in!
As a health coach, my job is to coach people through the lifestyle changes needed to develop and maintain confidence and stability in their personal life. This means overcoming depression, building resillience, improving their sleep, managing stress, clarifying their life purpose, and even losing weight.
I can help your patients ensure they understand the care plan you created for them. I work closely with them, to implement the complex lifestyle changes that are often required to make significant improvements in their health.
I can help your patients achieve their health goals.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO REFER YOUR PATIENTS TO A HEALTH COACH?
RESEARCH IS BEGINNING TO SHOW THAT PATIENT OUTCOMES IMPROVE WITH HEALTH COACHING.
Improved health outcomes for your patients.
You can rest assured that your recommendations are being communicated in a way that your patients can understand and adhere to.
You'll be empowering your patients to improve their own health through lifestyle change
Increase your available time and satisfaction, knowing that the education and coaching component of your patients' wellness strategy has been taken care of.
You can outsource the time-consuming tasks of patient support, motivation, and education
Increase your own revenue potential, by freeing up your available time for more visits.
In fact, the American Medical Association has this to say:
"Health coaching is a team-based approach that helps patients gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active participants in their care. The old saying, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime” demonstrates the difference between rescuing a patient and coaching a patient. Patients with chronic conditions need to learn how to fish. Health coaching can be supplemented with health literacy strategies and effective communication techniques, such as ask-tell-ask, teach-back and/or action planning to ensure patient comprehension of their care plans and help them achieve their goals."

“The practice we developed together is definitely counteracting my anxiety! This program has really worked well for me. I’ve created a habit of going through the things I need to do when I need to do them… I have not had a serious anxiety attack in a long while now!” -

“My mindset has changed so much that I don’t look at yesterday’s failures in the routine as “bad” anymore. It’s just life. Progress. And what I do today is what matters. There is no going back for me, only forward. Plus… Nick knows I avoid the scale like the plague. However… I weighed in and I’ve lost 10 lbs! Considering how much lean muscle I’ve gained these last few weeks, it felt crazy good! He knows his stuff, this works!”

who is a good candidate for referral?
The ideal candidate is highly motivated to make changes to their lifestyle, but needs guidance and support to implement healthy changes.
An independent and motivated person who is in their prime middle years (30’s-40’s). They’re feeling out of sorts, like they’re not being their best self.
This feeling is accompanied by dissatisfaction with their physical body, but they are introspective enough to realize it goes deeper than that. There’s a mental component that’s showing up as decreased happiness in their relationships and their work, but mostly in how they are feeling about themselves.
They have tried to tackle this before, but without lasting success. They are dissatisfied with the same old approaches that feel more like an impersonal set of instructions. Regardless, they are determined to find real, permanent results and not afraid to put in the work to achieve their goals.
Because they’ve been down this road before they are more discerning. They want an authentic and invested support team who are in their corner 100% of the time and will not let them fail.

About Me
Why do I want to help people who struggle with motivation and feel like a piece is missing?
Well. Because I get it. That missing piece… It's a legitmate anchor that pulls you down under the surface and and it’s a total drag! It quite literally pulls you down and it’s as if you are drowning in your own guilt, self shame and self disgust.
This is something I personally had to free myself from. And from that personal experience, I've helped dozens of people unhook themselves from that anchor so that they can finally get that breath of much needed fresh life-giving air! Because I’ve dealt with it myself, I can relate to your patients on multiple levels!
