Integrative Health Coaching

Clinical Integrative Health Coaching is an evidence-based, client-centered healthcare practice that bridges the gap between clinical medical recommendations and sustainable, real-world lifestyle changes. 

Unlike traditional medicine which focuses primarily on treating isolated symptoms, this clinical approach looks at the whole person—interconnecting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. 

Working directly alongside doctors and clinics, coaches utilize positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and personalized accountability to empower clients. 

By focusing on root-cause habits like nutrition, sleep hygiene, stress management, and physical movement, the practice helps prevent chronic illnesses and assists patients in navigating complex medical journeys. 

How this service works

I do not replace your current doctor. That is the most important aspect that I need you to understand. 

Rather, we will be working collaboratively with the lifestyle insights provided by professional medical experts, like your doctor. With your permission, we can review the health data and lifestyle markers from your recent lab reports to get information about where you are in your journey now, helping you work towards your wellness goals using complementary wellness tools, such as Ayurveda and sound therapy. 

When we review your medical records and health history, our primary goal is to ensure your absolute physical safety. For example, if you are navigating past or current physical injuries, structural conditions, joint issues, experiencing anxiety or related issues, having that clear information allows us to safely customize your program. This ensures we do not accidentally recommend specific yoga techniques, physical movements, or breathing exercises (pranayama) that could aggravate an old injury, strain your body or exacerbate anxiety. Knowing your complete history allows us to proactively select the gentlest, most supportive holistic tools for your unique situation.  Your current medical history is especially important if you are currently taking medications, as we want to ensure we do not use any holistic strategies that may interfere with what your physician has prescribed for you.  

While sharing your records is highly encouraged to help inform your lifestyle goals, please note that you must request and provide these yourself, as I do not request medical records on behalf of clients.

How to access your medical records

The Process

• Contact the Provider: Call or visit the website of your doctor, hospital, or health coach to find their specific medical records department. 

• Submit a Written Request: Most providers require you to fill out an official "Authorization for Release of Information" form. 

• State Your Format Preference: Specify how you want to receive the files, such as a secure digital portal, email, or printed paper copies.

• Provide Proof of Identity: Expect to provide a copy of your government-issued ID to verify you are the patient.

    Costs and Deadlines

• 30-Day Window: US Federal law requires providers to fulfill your request within 30 days, though they can request a one-time 30-day extension if they explain the delay in writing.  
  (This may vary if you are in a country outside the US, but google can tell you what the dealines are in your country.)

• Reasonable Fees: Providers can charge a reasonable, cost-based fee only for the labor of copying, postage, and preparing summaries. They cannot charge you a fee for searching or retrieving your records.

What if I don't have a Doctor?

That is completely okay! Many people currently find themselves without a primary care provider due to shifting insurance, rising healthcare costs, or navigating changes in their personal wellness journey. If you don't have a regular doctor right now, you can absolutely still focus on your health. 

Here are the two pathways we can take, and the choice is completely up to you:

1: Choose the Elemental Wellness service instead.
You won't miss out on anything! The Elemental Wellness pathway utilizes the time-tested, holistic tools of Ayurveda and related complimentary therapies. The only difference is that we will not incorporate Western laboratory data or clinical medical records into our coaching sessions. All of the foundational, holistic lifestyle strategies used in CIHC are fully included here to support your body's natural balance. 

2: Utilize Direct-to-Consumer Lab Services
If you still want the data-driven insights of scientific lab work, you do not necessarily need a traditional doctor's appointment to access it. You can independently order your own general wellness panels through direct-to-consumer services like Labcorp OnDemand, Quest Mobile, Any Lab Test Now, or online portals like Jason Health and Walk-In Lab. You can easily search online to find a service that aligns with your location and budget. 

To pay, you simply purchase the tests online or at the facility using a credit card, HSA, or FSA (please note these services generally do not accept standard health insurance). Standard panels typically range from $39 to $150, while comprehensive wellness packages can run higher. 

Your purchase price conveniently includes the third-party physician oversight required to authorize the lab order, the clinical sample collection, and secure digital access to your results.

Which option should you choose?
If you are generally feeling well, want to focus primarily on holistic alignment, and prefer not to manage lab data, the Elemental Wellness option is perfect for you.
If you want to bridge lifestyle habits with objective scientific markers to map out your baseline wellness, choosing Option 2 to secure lab data is a great path.

IMPORTANT: Please note that health coaching is a supportive, educational tool and does not replace medical care. If you are currently experiencing significant or chronic health issues, it is highly recommended that you establish care with a licensed medical professional alongside our holistic work.

The onboarding process + coaching continuum

During our initial appointment, we will thoroughly review your medical history alongside your unique personal details. This allows us to fully understand your natural, born constitution and map out where your elemental forces are resting right now. Combining your health background with your permanent blueprint, we will formulate a personalized coaching plan that safely and effectively gives you clear, actionable steps to restore harmony and meet your wellness goals.

Following our initial consultation, we will meet regularly once a month to reassess your elemental balance and track your progress. These routine check-ins allow us to fine-tune your wellness plan, adjust for any lifestyle or seasonal shifts, and ensure your mind and body stay perfectly aligned.
