Frequently Asked Questions
-
What’s the difference between a health coach and a specialist nurse-led service like yours?
Think of it this way: a health coach provides lifestyle advice; I provide clinically-informed, evidence-based healthcare solutions. As a specialist nurse, I integrate medical expertise, preventative health strategies, and complex care management—something generic health coaches cannot legally or clinically do.
-
Do you work with people who have complex medical conditions?
Yes—chronic illness management, post-surgical care, and palliative support are key areas where my services outperform standard coaching models. I work with patients managing cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, post-stroke recovery, and autoimmune conditions, ensuring care plans align with medical treatment protocols.
-
How do you work with doctors and specialists?
Most healthcare providers operate in silos—your GP, consultant, physiotherapist, and pharmacist rarely communicate effectively. I act as a patient advocate and care coordinator, ensuring medical teams align their treatments to reduce medication conflicts, optimize pain management, and prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.
-
Can you manage my medications and treatment plans?
I don’t prescribe medications, but I ensure your prescription plan is effective, safe, and practical. I work with private healthcare consultants, pharmacists, and NHS teams to prevent drug interactions, side effects, and adherence issues—ensuring you get the best outcomes from your treatment.
-
What’s different about your approach to pain management and chronic illness?
Most medical models rely on prescription painkillers and symptom suppression. My approach integrates:
✔ Medical cannabis for pain relief (when appropriate)
✔ Neurological rehabilitation for chronic pain conditions
✔ Lifestyle medicine & functional health strategies
✔ Mind-body integration (psychosomatic pain strategies)
Rather than masking symptoms, I focus on root-cause resolution and functional optimisation.
-
I have a lot of doctors—do I really need you?
Doctors diagnose and treat diseases. I ensure your entire healthcare system functions properly—reducing delays, miscommunications, and ineffective treatments. Whether you need faster specialist referrals, medication adjustments, or proactive disease prevention, I make sure you get the right care, at the right time.
-
How do you support palliative care or end-of-life patients?
I specialise in palliative nursing care, ensuring that patients receive personalised pain management, dignity-focused support, and seamless coordination between private and NHS palliative services. Families benefit from 24/7 care oversight, ensuring that their loved ones receive compassionate, clinically competent end-of-life care.
-
Do you offer emergency call-out services?
No, but I prevent crises before they happen. Through proactive healthcare strategies, I reduce the need for emergency hospital admissions by ensuring:
✔ Optimised medication regimens
✔ Early intervention for deteriorating conditions
✔ Faster private healthcare referrals
✔ Real-time monitoring of high-risk patients
-
How does this work with insurance and private healthcare?
I work with private hospitals, concierge medical services, and insurance providers to ensure you get the right specialists, faster treatment access, and reduced waiting times. Whether you’re navigating Harley Street consultants, HCA UK hospitals, or NHS-private crossover care, I handle the logistics of your healthcare so you don’t have to.
-
Why is this worth the investment?
Your health is the most valuable asset you have. Waiting until a crisis hits costs exponentially more—financially, physically, and emotionally. Personalised healthcare isn’t an expense; it’s an investment in longevity, function, and quality of life.
Would you rather pay for prevention now or pay for expensive interventions later?
