Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
The U.S. has a very robust and complex healthcare system that provides many options for disease care.
Unfortunately, it is not geared towards providing a lot of personal provider-patient interaction. As well,
not made for easy understanding.
My conscience has been burdened with this since I was a CNA working at the bedside. As my healthcare
career grows, I become more and more aware of what is lacking and the difficult battles that patients
face. I have been the care provider who has been forced to rush an appointment along while a patient
struggles to understand their condition or situation. I have seen people fall through the cracks because
they were unable to advocate for themselves or just did not know what to say or ask. Lastly, I have seen
that patient or family who needed an extra moment with the person they have entrusted with their
deepest, most personal and intimate concerns. Patients are forced to become vulnerable to healthcare
providers who don’t always have the capacity to protect that vulnerability.
This moral injury caused me to want to leave healthcare completely until I learned about independent
patient advocacy. An arena that knows no time limits where I can use the knowledge I have gained
through education and experience to fully support an individual or family through whatever health
journey they are on. I can be the solid link between the brilliant and dedicated physicians and your or
your loved one

Additional Skills
Skills and Attributes

I can guarantee that any client/patient I encounter will be heard and respected. Each person's experiences are uniquely their own and are legitimate. All feelings are real and will always be acknowledged as such. In any situation, the client/patient will be the priority and will be the decision maker as long as they have the capacity to do so.

A lot of my experience lies in cardiometaboloc disease and health, but anyone in medicine can agree that all things are connected. My goal is to explain conditions and what is related to those conditions in terms that anyone can understand. Only with full understanding can a person make the decision that is best for them about their care. These decisions include what procedure or medication may be the best treatment option. Or the question may be what kind of specialist to see. I strive to provide truthful and accurate information free of any personal bias so that a client/patient can make the most informed decision taking into account all of the connections with the specific disease or health concern.
In most cases, there are lifestyle interventions that can be done on the part of the client/patient to improve outcomes or quality of life. This will look different to everyone. This may be dietary changes, types of physical activity, reducing exposure to toxins, or just a different way of thinking. I'm skilled at providing coaching to develop a lifestyle plan and implement the plan for the greatest likelihood of success.
