Nurse-Led Health Coaching

Why consider a Nurse as a Health Coach? Have you been told you need to manage your weight, improve your nutrition, lower your blood sugar, reduce stress and get active, but are lost on where to begin? Do you have health concerns, such as pre-diabetes or diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or metabolic syndrome? Do you have unanswered questions about your health situation and need more support, education and guidance? A Nurse health coach may be a good fit to support you in your health and wellness goals.

What do I do? A Nurse health coach applies their clinical knowledge and medical expertise to the realm of lifestyle coaching to address specific needs. In addition to weight management, a Nurse can support you in many ways to get better blood sugar control, lower your blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and more. We uniquely consider your medical diagnosis and medication self-management needs in our coaching sessions, and in your plan of care. As well, we are able to communicate with other healthcare providers about your health and progress, and connect you with resources or referrals for additional support.

We work together, within the context of your life, health history, and any recommendations from your primary care providers, to create a customized plan that works for YOU. We consider the bio-psycho-social factors contributing to your health. We explore the power of better nutrition and healthy eating patterns, getting more active, stress management, and sleep – maximizing your mind, movement and metabolism to achieve an optimal state of wellness.
