As a Health & Wellness Coach for Kaiser Permanente I work with patients of varying demographics around weight loss, stress management, tobacco cessation, healthy eating, pain management, wellbeing, and physical activity. I love this work as I get to practice Motivational Interviewing everyday. Daily I see MI in action and its profound impact within patient care settings. My graduate degrees are in Holistic Health Education and Nutrition. In my work as a coach I blend health education with MI, always striving to meet my patients whoever they are on their wellness journys.
As a trainer I am passionate about sharing my MI learnings with others. It is a privledge to practice MI and grow within the work. I always aspire to deepen my knowledge of MI and look forward to embarking on that path with future MINTees.
