Health Coach

Aug 2020 - Jan 2023
In my role as a health coach I assisted a doctor who specializes in HPA-axis dysfunction, liaising between the doctor and his patients to provide the highest quality of care. I managed a team of 4 coaches, overseeing all patient correspondence. Coaching included support with incorporating dietary and lifestyle changes, stress-reduction techniques, sleep restoration, and mindfulness practices; as well as leading supportive question and answer sessions, phone calls, and video chats to assist patients. During this time I also developed digital programs to further guide patients through the treatment process and at lower price points to make care affordable at any level, including the creation of informational videos and guided meditation recordings.
