Chronic Illness Coaching
Are you suffering with chronic illness and feel you have nowhere to turn? Do you need some guidance and inspiration from someone who understands what you are going through? Do you feel bad more often than well? Chronic Illness Coaching may be what you need to stay inspired, hopeful, and to obtain your "optimum wellness".
Our coach is a Health and Wellness Coach, as well as a Board Certified Family Practice Physician with multiple sclerosis. It was after a recent severe relapse that she decided to combine her skills and experience to coach clients dealing with chronic illness. Her goal as a provider of chronic illness coaching, is to help others with chronic conditions learn to "thrive" despite their condition rather than "suffer" from it. Even with illness or disability, it is possible to lead an exceptional and fulfilling life. If you are dealing with a chronic illness, you do not have to do it alone! Wading through information from doctors and other sources, knowing what questions to ask your healthcare providers, and learning how to cope with the emotional strain of illness are all things with which we can help you. We would love to coach and support you on your journey. Contact the coach for a complimentary trial session at dr.dayna@optimumwellnesscoaching.com. We also offer a monthly chronic illness support group via telephone that is free!
Sign up for the 6-week THRIVE Program© starting in spring, 2007. This program is designed to help clients with chronic conditions learn to “thrive” despite illness rather than suffer from it!
