Why Health Education/Counseling ?

In our society today people want to be heard and acknowledged.  Most medical professionals are unable to attend to their clients with the time and listening to meet many patient's needs fully.  Through this health model clients are offered respectful listening and are supported in their daily health and wellness challenges.  By involving the client into their own goal setting and lifestyle changes each individual becomes empowered and involved with their own self-care.  Sixty to ninety percent of doctor's visits are stress related -our own needs to create awarenesss and balance in our lives is the first step toeards improved quality of life.  Through our 4 - 8 sessions clients begin to become involved in their health care process with focussed information with which they may dialogue more effectively with their families, physicians and all others involved in their personal health care.
