How is what you do different from a doctor or dietitian?
-
- As a health coach, I am not permitted to nor do I diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- What I do is work with you to educate you, have hours to spend in preparation and follow-up to our appointments;
- Spend a full hour meeting with you each time;
- Follow-up via e-mail 3-4 weeks after every appointment;
- Respond to your e-mails within 24 hours (except weekends and holidays);
- Listen to your concerns, come up with alternative solutions and be flexible in response to your reactions to various interventions;
- Have the time and space to continue to educate myself on your issues, think about them, and work ceaselessly to try to help you overcome them.
