Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I conduct an assessment of the student's needs and goals. I set up a phone call to discuss the program and the added value to relieve their stress and frustrations. I take a client centered approach with each student. I want each student to improve in his/hers/their overall health and wellness, no matter where they start individually. It is never too late to improve your wellbeing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a nurse for 24 years and have been in the healthcare field for 28 years. My specialities include geriatrics, mental health, addictions, holistic and parish nursing, and legal nurse consulting. I have a masters in nursing education and a post-master's as a nurse practictioner. I have taught at the university level, lectured across the country as a national speaker, and I am business owner.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing depends on the type of services requested and the duration of the session. Typical prices are $35-50 a session for wellness consultation and coaching sessions. Packages are also available for students who wish to purchase multiple sessions together.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching as a nursing student, training individuals with CPR. When I talked to my patients, I notice there was a lack of teaching on practical things such as breaking your tasks up into doable chunks so you don't wear yourself out or cause your arthritis pain flare up. I have taught in the communnity setting classes to help indivduals cope with their chronic health conditions.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with children, teens and adults. Although my clinical practice as a nurse practitioner focuses on older adults, I have experience working with all ages as a nurse. I tailor each program to the individual student.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love good music. I like to use music as a way of de-stressing and relaxing. I just like to dance around the house and be silly with my family.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Be open to a new experience. Know that any process takes time. Do the homework and be a full participant in the process.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are the goals I am trying to reach and I am ready to make a change in my life to reach those goals.
