    From Physio to Women’s Health Coach: A Practitioner’s Journey to Career Fulfillment with Tamarah Nerreter

    When you’re just starting your career, there’s so much to learn and grow into. After the first decade or so - especially in a clinical setting - the pressure typically builds to a point where getting burned out becomes a problem. There’s the time, effort, and energy needed in your work, raising your kids or caring for aging parents, responsibilities in your community, and so much more. Especially now, as healthcare resources dwindle and systems begin to crumble all over the world, burnout is so common. As a person in clinical healthcare, if you want to shift away from the burnout-inducing productivity pressure and think about what you could do to honor your needs while becoming even more valuable for your clients and patients, coaching might be the right path for you. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Tamarah Calyniuk-Nerrete, a physiotherapist who found herself very burned out and made the decision to join our Women’s Health Coach certification program. Through developing her coaching skills, Tamarah was able to build a practice that allowed her to slow down and support her physical and mental health while providing a holistic well-being approach for her clients. In this conversation, Tamarah and I discuss her extensive background in physiotherapy, her transition into coaching, how our personal experiences shape our professional practices, why adaptability is a critical skill in your career, how coaching skills benefit both your personal and professional life, the value of continuous growth, the integration of diverse experiences for a fulfilling career in women's health, and more. Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!

    Women's Desire and Integrative Sexual Health Coaching with Women's Health Coach, Dr. Rose Schlaff, DPT, WHC, IF

    “I joined thinking functional nutrition was going to heal me, and what I actually needed was the coaching.” - Dr. Rose Schlaff In the world of women's health and wellness, there's a lot of conversation about pelvic pain, sexual pain, and low libido, especially for women with complex chronic pain and those navigating the stages of life from postpartum to perimenopause. Despite that, the bar is usually set at removing acute pain, and we rarely dig past the point of acceptable sexual experiences. As women’s health practitioners, we have the opportunity to help our clients fully reach their goals and achieve more pleasurable and connected sexual experiences. Just as we would work with an athlete to restore them to their elite-level function, we can think of sexual health similarly. Today, I’m joined by Women’s Health Coach Dr. Rose Schlaff to explore how we can better support our clients in optimizing their sexual wellness and achieving their personal goals. Rose’s background in sexual health, pelvic floor physical therapy, and coaching has shown her that by combining modalities, she could honor her purpose and serve clients in a way that created a significant positive impact on them but also supported her mental and physical health. In this conversation, Rose and I discuss how the pelvic floor and nervous system impact sexual wellness, what it means to optimize sexual wellness, the effects of perimenopause, how chronic conditions affect women's sexual health, how libido changes over a lifespan, simple techniques holistic practitioners can use to better support our clients, and more.

    From Breast Cancer Survivor to Women’s Health Coach: Mila Shwab on Aging Gracefully and Finding Purpose

    “Women need a sacred space, where they are listened to and can be guided to find their own solutions.” - Mila Shwab Mindful listening is one of the best ways we can support our clients. In conventional medicine, there's so much focus on giving directives and instructions that women often feel as though their experiences of their health are pushed to the side. Through coaching, we help our clients from a different angle - empowering them in their journeys. When we create that space and utilize the tools available to us, our clients learn to listen to themselves, making it easier for them to make the sustainable changes they need to achieve optimal health in the long run. Today, I’m joined by Mila Shwab, a graduate of the Women's Health Coach Certification program who is out in the world doing amazing things. Mila’s experience with breast cancer and the trauma that it brought informs her approach to coaching. Now, her practice supports women in aging beautifully and with energy, and she embodies so much of that. In this conversation, Mila and I discuss how her breast cancer diagnosis sent her on a deep dive into nutrition and women's health, her approach to coaching, the importance of providing a safe space for clients, the power of personal experience in guiding others, building a successful health coaching practice, and more.

    Is Women's Health Coaching The Right Career For You?

    What makes someone a successful women’s health coach? After 15 years of the Women’s Health Coach Certification program, I’ve seen thousands of students become coaches, and there are certain elements that our most successful graduates have in common. Whether they come from a clinical background, have a passion for helping a particular type of woman, or felt called to this career because of their personal experiences, the most successful people are those with deep curiosity and care about individual women's stories who are navigating challenging things and learning. As we approach the final cohort of the Women’s Health Coach Certification program, I’m exploring how to determine whether becoming a women's health coach is the right career for you. In this episode, I’m talking about the essential qualities of successful health coaches, the role of passion, patience, mindfulness, and curiosity, what it means to create supportive client relationships, the support we offer to people considering joining the program, and more.

    Why Becoming a Women's Health Coach is the Key to a Fulfilling, Healthier, and Wealthier Career for Medical Professionals | Fixing Healthcare Together with Dr. Dawn Allen, Nurse Practitioner

    As a medical professional, you’re trained in a model encouraging you to “solve” your patient's health problems. It’s one thing to be able to prescribe medication for your patients and move on and another thing to integrate that with the tools that allow you to work together to figure out the drivers of their illness. Health is a skill set that your patients have to learn to integrate into their daily lives, and with the right tools, you can help them achieve that. When we shift our mindset toward helping our patients and clients practice this new paradigm of health, we also live richer, more fulfilled, healthier lives. As a women's health professional, you get to have a fully supported, life-giving life where you feel well in your body, and you can continue to do the vital work your clients need you to do. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Dawn Allen, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Women’s Health Coach certification program graduate. Dawn’s story is an inspiration and a great reminder of what’s possible when we shift into a collaborative model to help clients not only understand from a clinical perspective but also help them to do the healing. In this conversation, Dawn and I discuss how health coaching can integrate into clinical practice, the limitations of the conventional medical approach, why Dawn became interested in health coaching, the benefits of health coaching for patients and clinicians, the value of communication skills and holistic approaches in healthcare, and more.

    From Pelvic Health PT to Women’s Health Coach: Stephanie Herrod’s Journey to Living Her Vision | Overcoming Burnout and Building a Fulfilling Practice

    “I want my life to look different day-to-day and to solve different problems, and I want support and a way to do that sustainably.” - Stephanie Harrod A big part of being a healthcare provider is helping people and servicing those who need our skills. This is reinforced when we train in a conventional healthcare field, where we’re taught to work in a service model that focuses on becoming a resource for our patients. While service is a critical aspect of what we do, it’s essential to realize that your practice can also be something that serves you. When you refine your niche, the women you’re serving in your coaching practice can give you energy instead of draining you. Our jobs can nourish us, be in alignment, and propel us towards our goals. Today, I’m joined by Stephanie Harrod, a graduate of the Women’s Health Coach certification program and a pelvic health physical therapist transitioning into her women's health coaching practice. During the program, Stephanie created a very clear vision which she is now living. It’s an inspiring journey. In this conversation, Stephanie and I talk about when she recognized the need for more tools and flexibility to serve her patients better, the challenges she faced in deciding whether to join the certification program, the value of community and mentorship, her advice for others considering similar career changes, the significance of vision in achieving professional fulfillment, and more.

    15 Years of Transforming Women's Health: The Legacy and Evolution of the Women's Health Coach Certification

    The role of health professionals has had to shift significantly over the past 20 years. Patients have more tools than ever, from functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine to cutting-edge medical interventions and alternative therapies. Yet, even for those with access, it can be extremely difficult to navigate these resources and implement them sustainably over time. That’s where health coaching plays a crucial role. It's a set of communication skills that enables health and wellness professionals to guide people through the complexities of caring for themselves in an increasingly and acceleratingly complex and environmentally toxic world. I started to see this increasing need back in 2006, and that’s when I created the first iteration of the Women’s Health Coach certification program. Today, I’m telling you how the Integrative Women’s Health Institute came into being and why I developed our flagship program, the Women’s Health Coach certification. I’m also sharing why this cohort will be the final one of the program and the exciting changes we have on the horizon. Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!

    A Truly Integrative Approach to Women's Health Physical Therapy with Women's Health Coach Graduate Dr. Maggie Roth, PT, DPT, ATC, WHC

    “I have a bigger connection with my patients than I ever have, and that even translates to working with other professionals on the care team.” - Dr. Maggie Roth, PT, DPT, ATC, WHC Integrating health coaching into our existing practices and skills can profoundly improve patient care and outcomes. In clinical training, we’re typically taught to measure success against a set of functional goals. It’s rare for clinicians to encourage patients to think about goals specific to their lives and support them in achieving them. The healing journey is not just about evidence-based measures like how far a patient can walk and what their endurance is. Those metrics are important, but they're not the whole story and don’t reflect a holistic approach to women’s health. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Maggie Roth, a graduate of our Women’s Health Coach certification program. Maggie is a pelvic health expert and physical therapist who now specializes in working primarily with mothers who also deal with chronic pain. Since graduating, she has integrated her coaching training into her physical therapy practice in a way that has helped her clients get to the point of being fully well and in alignment with their goals. In this conversation, Maggie and I discuss her journey into physical therapy, what it has been like integrating health coaching into her physical therapy practice, what holistic, client-centered care looks like, why relieving physical symptoms doesn’t address the whole picture, her experiences as a postpartum mother and working with women suffering from chronic pain, the need for continuing education and community support among healthcare professionals, and more.
