Shownotes

“I wanted to do the work I was trained to do and to help treat their cancer, but also to help them live well in the long term.” - Dr. Allison Quick

Sometimes, when people consider training in health coaching skills, there’s a lingering worry that they’ll have to completely leave the conventional system they’re already a part of. Whether you’re a physician, nurse practitioner, physical therapist, or something else, many of our graduates have stayed within the convention systems and simply expanded into new offerings for patients and clients.

At first, this might come with growing pains for you and your organization, but ultimately, it’s so valuable to make this change from within since conventional practices are where most of the patients are. Many of these patients want and can benefit from additional support on their healing journeys, and your health coaching skills can help them navigate this.

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Alison Quick, one of our Women's Health Coach Certification Program graduates who has done just this. Dr. Allison is a radiation oncologist who works at Ohio State University in the women's health oncology specialty and uses her coaching training to improve long-term health outcomes for her patients.

In this conversation, Dr. Allison and I discuss what it looks like to integrate health coaching into oncology, Dr. Allison’s career journey, the challenges of motivating survivors to adopt healthier lifestyles, the importance of addressing emotional and relational health, the benefits of health coaching for both patients and healthcare professionals, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
