Coaching
Ready to take your life and health to a whole new level?
At Earth & Sage Medical Wellness, we provide results-oriented coaching for Energy Management. Our philosophy is similar to Jim Loehr’s approach. As the author of The Power of Full Engagement, Loehr posited that ENERGY management—not time management—is key to maximizing our potential in mind-body-spirit.
The journey starts a detailed intake through questionnaires and direct discussion. Through confidential one-on-one sessions, emails and phone discussions, we help you define your targets and implement strategies to achieve your goals.
It is our belief that maximizing your potential is impossible without maximizing your health through proper nutrition, exercise and recovery. While fine-tuning those areas, we help you focus on your personal and professional goals providing you with knowledge, resources, insightful evaluations and encouragement along the way.
While coaching is not therapy, it can supplement therapy and counseling to help you achieve success in various areas of your life. Coaching is already an irreplaceable fixture in corporate settings amongst CEOs and business owners and is gaining popularity with individuals.
Success is achieved through small, concrete, action steps. If you are frustrated with your life and living below your potential, call us now to discuss your action plan towards a new life.
Physician’s Coaching and Energy Management
Today’s physicians experience an enormous amount of stress and inordinate burdens from their jobs. Why is this important?
In 1973, less than 15 percent of several thousand practicing physicians reported any doubts that they had made the correct career choice. In contrast, surveys administered within the past 10 years have shown that 30 to 40 percent of practicing physicians would not choose to enter the medical profession if they were deciding on a career again, and an even higher percentage would not encourage their children to pursue a medical career.
Other studies have found that a physician's self-reported satisfaction was strongly linked to patient satisfaction. Patients of physicians who rated themselves as being very or extremely satisfied with their work were found to be more satisfied with their care. Similar studies have found that patients of physicians who rated themselves as having high job satisfaction had greater levels of trust and confidence in their physicians.

In other words, physicians’ satisfaction and well-being affect patients’ satisfaction and well-being. Better health care is dependent on better care of health professionals.
