Health and Wellness Coaching - Between the Lines

Could you use some help with your self-management?

Are You Ready to Recover Your Balance, Reclaim What’s Important, and Restore the Joy in Your Life?

Hello!

Thank you for taking time to watch the video and check out Between the Lines Health and Wellness Coaching!

Some people just want a quick introduction.

Then, there are people - like you - who want to know more about my philosophy about health coaching. That’s what this page is for.

First, let me say that there were many years when I needed just the kind of help I now offer my clients. But I didn’t have it.

I had a couple of chronic diseases - and so did my son. We had some good doctors. But none of them had time to spend helping us manage our health. Instead, their focus was on suppressing the most obvious symptoms of our conditions. And they didn’t even have much time for that. Usually about 5-7 minutes a visit. Our out-of-pocket healthcare costs were tens of thousands of dollars a year. Year after year after year.

Like you, what we needed most was some consistent coaching focused on using our natural strengths to more effectively manage some of the trickiest aspects of our chronic conditions - on a day-to-day basis.

These days, there are millions of us who need that kind of help.

Especially professional women!

So many of us are giving it all we’ve got - day in and day out. We’re raising our children, caring for aging parents, neighbors, and other family members, working hard in our careers. Then, one day, we get a diagnosis - or two. And we keep fighting. And fighting. Until finally we realize that having a chronic health condition means we’re not ever going to get over what we’re dealing with. We’re going to be living with it for the rest of our lives.

At that point, most of us learn to put on a brave face. Hide the pain, the fatigue, and the depression. We really want to be there for our co-workers, family members, and friends. We want this so much that many of us actually hurt ourselves further - just so we won’t disappoint people counting on us. Maybe you know what I mean...

Some of us manage to zip along, hiding behind the mask for awhile, juggling everything pretty darn well. But underneath the surface, what we’re doing is often making things worse.

Then, out of nowhere, we hit a wall. Sometimes it happens right in the middle of a special event. Like a birthday party. Or a family reunion. Or one of the big holidays. We’re doing fine and then, suddenly, we just lose our hold on things. We run out of gas. And that’s when the symptom cycle takes us somewhere none of us wants to go. Sometimes for days at a time...

Once we recover from an episode, we get back to rushing around all over again so we can make up for the time away. And then we end up right back behind the eight-ball with the whole cycle starting all over again.

Maybe you know this story, too... If you’ve read this far, I’m guessing you do.

There are, literally, tens of millions of Baby Boomer professional women - and tens of millions more who are 10 years younger - living this story every day. Smart, capable women who have health conditions we're going to be living with for the rest of our lives. And darn it! We need another way to live with them! A way that doesn't rob us of the joy in our lives!

The saga of stress comes from not knowing our natural strengths and not living out of them. From just scrambling after everything without a handle on who we really are or a clear picture of what our unique God-given strengths and preferences are. And just coping, day after day, without the knowledge or the confidence or the support we need to stand up for our own needs - along with those of the people we love.

No wonder we’re overeating. And having trouble sleeping. No wonder we’ve lost touch with the joy of movement. No wonder we hurt all over - on the outside and the inside, too.

But,  you know what?  It’s never too late to spring the latch on that squirrel cage and live a great life - regardless of our chronic health conditions!  And I can help you do it!

THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE’S

ANOTHER WAY!

Once again, I'm not a doctor or a trainer. I’m a health and wellness coach. I don’t give medical advice. I don’t supervise people’s diets or exercise programs. Instead, I provide my clients quick access to powerful, statistically valid and reliable measurements of your natural strengths and then help you safely reorient your life around the easiest ways for you to handle stress - given your unique strengths. So you can recover

• your balance,
• your sense of what’s most important and
• your zest for life!

I know from my own personal experience that having valid, reliable measurements of my natural strengths and stressors - and getting the coaching support I needed to reorient my life around my natural strengths - made a huge difference in my health and well-being.

Getting yourself sound measurements of your natural strengths - and the coaching support you need to re-orient your daily life around them - can do the same for you!
