“Before working with a nurse coach, I had been working by myself to make changes to my health, by reading and using some apps, like Noom. I do have a coach I use for the gym but I know I needed help making more positive changes in my life, career, and overall health, such as improvements in my mental health and weight loss goals. I had come as far as I could by myself and I was stuck. My interactions with my nurse coach, Jay, were some of the most positive engagements of my week. I looked forward to our appointments and I liked having weekly goals. I liked knowing I had someone to help me be accountable for my progress. Jay offered simple actions I could do with little effort but had a big impact on my progress. Setting up these little wins was a real boost to my progress. I had been stuck at the same weight on the scale for months, up and down the same 2-5 pounds. I am now below that magical number. I also have started the process of taking back my mental health thanks to encouragement from Jay, my nurse coach. After each appointment, I came away feeling stronger than I thought, smarter than I thought, and more empowered to act on some ideas I had been mulling over for far too long. These open, supportive conversations with Jay were like having a weight taken off my shoulders and opening up my eyes to accessible goals.”
P.S. "74-year-old retiree that still enjoys life"
"Jay was my student in Barstow, CA, and what a wonderful young man he was to teach.We reconnected through Facebook, and I found him to be the most amazing adult. He is a man of integrity who is spiritual, joyful, family-centered, all the components that make a successful human. When he needed someone to practice his coaching skills with, I quickly volunteered. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with Jay and have them encourage them? I am a 74-year-old retiree that still enjoys life and volunteers to change the world. Jay affirmed so many of my choices. He encouraged me and helped me realize that my ideas and efforts were valuable to the world. The experience was not only thought-provoking, but fun. Jay has such an amazing, pleasing personality and perspective on life. He puts the person at ease and makes them feel valuable. When I told him of my dream job, he immediately found me classes to take. As I said earlier, I am getting on in years, but I am never too old to learn. I think Jay coached me into not putting dreams on back burners but continue to grow and thrive. Everyone needs a Jay in their life. He can make you understand that the contributions you make are important. His gentle humor dissolves any of the anxiety that a person would have going into this process. I recommend him to people my age and younger. It is never too late to feel accepted and heard. He is just an amazing coach."
P.B. "Mindfulness practice"
“I want to thank Jay for reinforcing my beliefs in mindfulness practice. I have done mindful breathing for several years. I have had a wonderful experience sharing it with Jay. In turn, Jay has brought a fresh new perspective and opened me up to several different media which offer interesting and various ways to practice my mindfulness breathing technique. Several of which I will be using myself and passing on to others. Jay also has a soothing voice which is very calming. I have enjoyed working with Jay and I highly recommend him as a Nurse Coach.”
