- ARE YOU A -
PRACTITIONER
or a Health Care Professional?
- Health Coaching for Patients of Practitioners -
As a practitioner it can be frustrating with the limited amount of time you have to spend with patients.
You are not seeing the patient outcomes you know are possible because patients are struggling to implement the care plans you prescribe to get them there.
Patients return for follow-up visits without complying with the recommendations you’ve given them because they are confused, didn’t fully understand, or failed with implementing what you prescribed.
Stress starts to creep in from a shortage of time with patients, or time in your day, to provide the care you want to provide.
You've got an inbox overflowing with questions you don’t have enough time to fully address
And you find yourself constantly answering the same questions and educating on the same topics over and over again.
If you want more time to spend working with and guiding your patients without the double up of work, this is where I step in.
My name is Gina Mitidiero. I am a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach specializing in guiding patients with autoimmunity, chronic illness and excessive stress towards improved health and vitality.
With a thorough understanding of
- Motivational Interviewing
- Positive Psychology
- Mind-Body Medicine techniques
- and Behavior Change theory
My role is to empower patients to make lasting lifestyle change.
I have a comprehensive education in Functional Medicine principles and I speak the same language patients hear from you. I don’t diagnose, prescribe, or cure but I do educate, inspire, and empower to alleviate the consistent follow up visits for the same symptoms and to help the patient make healthy change in their life.
Working collaboratively with you, my role is to meet your patients where they are and help them bridge the gap to better health making it easier for you to do your job.
I am a behavior change specialist.
- My approach to your patients -
Your patients don’t know how to effectively change behaviors. It takes education, motivation, effort, and support that’s challenging for anyone, particularly those who are already depleted from managing complex health conditions like chronic or autoimmune illness, or excessive stress. Through skilled listening and gentle guiding your patients will be the primary driver of change in their lives.
Using a patient-centered approach, they will be given guidance, education, inspiration and accountability needed to facilitate lasting change. I form a supportive alliance with patients, offering compassion and hope as I guide them through learning about their character strengths and core values as we ultimately discover their intrinsic motivation to change.
Some of the ways I can benefit your practice and support your patients include:
Individual coaching
- One-on-one attention, personally tailored to the patient’s particular goals and needs. Working with you in a collaborative care model, I help your patients understand and implement the care plans you recommend leading to improved health outcomes. You are kept in the loop with the amount of communication you prefer.
Group health coaching
- Patients get access to an increased level of support, education and accountability at a lower cost than individual coaching, additionally gaining community with others on a similar health journey. Group coaching can be offered in a diagnosis-specific or treatment-specific format (e.g. Hashimoto’s or AIP Diet).
Educational programs
- Single session or a series of classes around topics related to Functional Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine, Mindfulness and Stress Management, the Autoimmune Paleo Elimination diet, etc.
