You can let me know your needs as well , I have a wealth of knowledge , from my 17 years in acute experience General Nursing & with being off work Chronically Ill, with both a Chronic Medical illness & a Chronic mental Health Illness ! Trying to overcome the Stigma., knowing what it's like even though I'm an RN had social  status. One thing for sure it's been Humbling.Janice RN LTD, Semi-Retired

Wellness Service

I'm a retired RN, & I 'm on LTD, since 2007, I feel much gratitude when Reaching out to others, I've used Facebook as my Platform for my Pro-active facebook pages & I've helped out in some FB groups over the years. Although I've had some struggles of my own from some injuries in the past, my faith in God.has helped.& my support on FB before, was invaluable, & so I feel I have had some silverlinings.Wellness Coaches can help people change. their lives in a Meaningful, Positive, Purposeful way! They can Help their clients set short term goals to track & long term goals to work towards.As your Wellness Coach I'd listen well, with a open mind Non-Judgementally, & keep your information confidential. We would be spending time talking or messaging for 1/2 h sessions at first. I would write out a plan & message it to you, & your plan would be put into action, & you could come back to talk about how your week had gone with your new plan after each week for me to re-assess if needed. Wellness coaches help add purpose & meaning to ones life. When clients have the added stress of a Chronic Medical or Chronic Mental Health Illness (which I can relate to), than it can add more barriers, roadblocks &/or hurdles to jump through with all the changes we often have over time due to our Illnesses. I have been off work since 2007 since my MVA while working as an RN in the Community. I worked in acute medicine on the Post-op Surgical wards wards for 16 years before I worked in the community. I can assist people with Managing & Coping with their symptoms & tracking it in a journal using a Balance wheel I made to help pace ones Activities & Rest to help give optimal energy expenditure & to help try avoiding Triggering Flare ups, so(exacberating Symptoms.)! I can also help people with working through the 5 stages of the Grieving process due to all the changes & losses that happens when one has a Chronic Illness & tracking it preferably. I have found Alternate medicine, (especially, Mindfulness) in conjunction with Western Medicine very helpful with managing my Symptoms of my Illnesses. I have personally seen the value in Journaling & have taking up hobbies that are very healthy ways to cope & distract from stress. On that note I can help with unhealthy coping ways, numbing, I really get it, substance abuse, I've been around it!Defense mechanisms we use , denials versus trying to work on our problems. I believe in striving to being our authentic self , & in grounding ,& I realise society doesn't always allow us to be real, say what we feel ect.! I believe we're on a journey & some haven't awakened to knowing this, sometimes after something happens to us , a Nervous Breakdown, a Traumatic event, an Illness , a Journey begins of learning a new way to be, most have terrible symptoms that's a given, some had it better before, pain wise that's for sure for me, it's not the same for everyone . I'm not judgemental. I'm here for you! Also my way isn't the only way to Journey for healing & for gaining a balance again either.I believe in Embracing where you are at, your unique journey, it's going to be different than others , we can't compare, or we 'll feel judgement by others , even by our selves. Coaches also help their clients develop strategies to sustain overall health, nutrition, spirituality ,exercise, and wellness in one’s life. Coaches can help individuals overcome obstacles and reach solutions, conflict resolution, as well as seek lasting, positive lifestyle behavior change. Follow up appointments to talk about how it's going, to check in.With the help of a coach, individuals learn new skills which can provide more opportunities while increasing confidence. Coaches can help with rigid traditional family Beliefs, Values, Morals & Spirituality.Coaches can help with various areas in ones life such as relationships,Effective Communication, Career options finances, and stress, while providing accountability, support, legal tips or Resourses can be provided as appropriate when I'm not able to help you, so phone numbers pamphlets , telling my clients when to go to Emerg. Did you know that at as we age from stage to stage we have pressures from Society, you may feel it, to be doing, achieving something re the age we are at, it's usually in a deep level of our subconscious ,so for example moving out of our Parents Home at a certain age Getting Married at a certain age.Some people adjust better than others when there's a disruption in that area, many people feel stress, it can step into the area of our immediate or extended family Value & Moral Belief system , so for example getting married by a certain age in one family could be really important compared to another that are ok with living together or not at all. So sometimes we get a 'gut feeling' a family member is maybe annoyed , but they don't say why , this may be a time where "trusting your gut feelings" could start the process to finding out why the family member is upset. Actually a lot can transpire from there. & onwards? For example, "Even Symptom Management from listening to your gut feelings , & it could lead to a better Mind /Body connection , respecting what comes up for you because it could lead to a Flare up, so with a Chronic Illness like Fibromylagia it could lead to a Pain Flare up, theres more to it than pain , & it would last sometimes for some people for more than 1 day, some people if they are still working part time may need to phone in sick , so use there sick time . Learning to speak assertively with certain people , family members & so setting good Boundaries can help with relationships where some people are crossing your line & are not respecting you, this is where a Wellness coach can help with these communication skills .Do you want to make healthy lifestyle choices, & relationship choices .but you’re not sure what to do, where to go? . Wellness coaching maybe just what you need!I'm big on naming the feeling , sitting with it, & not pushing your feelings & problems away, & I don't agree with sweeping them under the rug.If you have a need to Heal your inner Child, I'll work with you, help withCBT, & suggest an appt. with your Dr. & /or your counseling if you're requiring it *My goal is to hopefully help bring balance, peace & happiness & fulfillment.into your life & more. I really wish well for my clients & that they could experience feelings of discovering a down to earth feeling , a sincere, genuine authentic feeling . & a free feeling where they start to shine with in themselves, & possibly can express it outward, in a creative way .If this sounds like something that could benefit you, please contact me!Cell # 1-604-771-3839
