support through Surgery

This 6-week coaching package is perfect for preparing for outpatient surgery and support during recovery. Included is once weekly 1 to 1 coaching, booklet on How to Create A Healing Home, sample monthly meal plan to promote nutrition-backed healing,   and 6 weeks of journal prompts to help you work through emotions during recovery. 

Mental health support will improve your physical healing outcomes. Dr. Sigmund of OrthoMontana writes, "psychological factors have a major effect on the outcomes of surgery. The quality of the result of an operation is greatly affected by the attitude of the patient toward the rehabilitation program. Depression and fear lead to poorer results, whereas an optimistic outlook and sense of control lead to better results."

Working with a coach for surgery-specific mental health can lead to less narcotics use, faster healing and a better experience during recovery.  You will lessen the total amount of suffering you might experience during this tough time!

This program is designed to start at most two weeks before your outpatient surgery and support you for 4 to 5 weeks post-op. The Consultation call can be multiple weeks in advance with a start date closer to surgery. If you are already post-op and in need of support this program is still incredibly valuable for you and could be 6 weeks of coaching support with all the booklets! The program is 6 weeks for $600. 

I have undergone 5 total surgeries on my feet.  Even with previous experiences, undergoing surgery #5 while being a mother, wife, and entrepreneur was unlike anything I had ever done. I was caught completely off guard! I absolutely did not anticipate that recovering from surgery would be any big deal, that I would need emotional support or that extra planning would really help my family. Luckily, I was also a client to my Life Coach (coaches absolutely still receive Life Coaching!) and together we worked through so many thoughts and emotions that came up related to my surgery. I was completely surprised by just how many emotions came up for me! I was/am a busy mom, taking care of the family, competent and thriving. Recovering from surgery felt like ripping myself out of my family, going from 100mph to 1mph. I was mostly alone, not involved in the family day-to-day or fun extras like birthday invites or playdates. I was irritated at myself for not being able to take care of myself in the simplest ways like going to the bathroom or turning off a light from a switch across the room.  I noticed that I didn't have my 'cup full' of self-compassion and was looking for compassion from others (always a losing way to feel peace). While my body was reacting to surgical trauma, my Fight or Flight sense was turned up and I was quick to run away from stress like my kids fighting or avoid things I would normally deal with. With my coach, I was able to work through how my identity seemed to change over night: alpha mom to 'needy person'. 

Surgery is a trauma to the body, even if it is planned and wanted. Extra support during trauma is exactly what I needed, but I also wanted more: what about nutrition, meal planning, movements (exercises), and mental health exercises? I have created this program to be what I needed during my surgery recovery and I am so excited to help others! The Coaching alone will be amazing support, and I am so excited to offer MORE to set you up for the smoothest surgical recovery possible.
