What is medical coaching?
How can it support you?
What is medical coaching?
In times of illness and stress, it is normal to feel overwhelmed and alone. Medical coaching offers a beacon of support and understanding, specially designed to help you through these difficult moments.
A medical coach is for people who struggle with or deal with a medical problem, with chronic stress that affects functioning and helps them to regain their resilience on various levels: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental, including relationships. I help clients get out of survival mode and make the leap from just surviving to actually living. Life is a verb. To live means to thrive, even when circumstances are very challenging. Therein lies strength, resilience and freedom of choice, and that is what I help my clients achieve.
1. My mission
My mission is to provide a warm and safe haven for anyone affected by medical setbacks or crises. I want to give my clients the support, knowledge and resources they need to navigate their care journey. With sincere, personalized coaching, I ensure that no one ever has to feel alone in their struggle. I stand next to you, strengthen your resilience and help you step by step on the road to recovery. To find a new normal in an abnormal situation.
2. Why does coaching work?
Coaching has unique and valuable characteristics that distinguish it from other approaches to personal and professional growth, such as conversations with a therapist or a psychologist.
3. What is the science behing coaching?
Coaching is not just an art of asking questions; it is also deeply rooted in science, especially in professional medical coaching, particularly neuroscience. By understanding how our brains function and respond to coaching interventions, it becomes clear why coaching is such a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. This insight enables you to fully appreciate and utilize the profound benefits of coaching.
4. Why medical coaching?
The truth is that we are never truly prepared for an acute or chronic illness, a medical crisis, or any crisis at all. We simply don't think about it, and when it happens to us, we often feel overwhelmed and unprepared. Medical coaching helps clients develop emotional, mental, and physical resilience during a medical crisis or other major personal challenges. It is not therapy, nor is it lifestyle coaching, but a guidance process focused on personal development and resilience.

6. How does the coach process work?
Your coaching process is lovingly tailored to everyone's unique situation. We start by deeply understanding your personal story and challenges. Together we set goals that are important to you and devise a strategy to achieve them. We provide you with ongoing support throughout the entire process, so that you always feel supported and understood. We remove dilemmas that get in the way of achieving your goals.
