Health Coaching

Health coaching (or integrative health coaching) is fairly new. During health coaching you work on your physical health with coaching or psychotherapy interventions.

Stress is one of the major contributors to diseases and symptoms. When you experience a lot of stress several symptoms can develop. Health coaching is geared towards solving these forms of stress that aggravate symptoms.

You can probably imagine that you are frightened by something. At that moment your body reacts with an increased heart rate. Usually the heart rate is returned to normal within a few minutes when the stressor has disappeared. This increased hart rate was very useful to better react to the situation at hand. Imagine that this heart rate was increased for months at a time. That is not supporting the wellness of the body. That could lead to complaints or diseases.

As soon as the stressor is resolved the heart rate can normalize.

This is the expertise of health coaching, solving the stressors to pave the way for the body to heal itself. The type of coaching depends on the type of symptoms.

We use an integral approach to solve the complaints. We work at several levels at the same time to reach the desired goal as fast and efficient as possible. If the symptoms require it we will work with your physician.

We will use whatever is necessary to get the job done. In order to obtain the results we use highly effective methods out of behavioral psychology, neuro-linguistics, hypnotherapy and energy psychology. Besides these psychological interventions we will also look at your nutrition, exercise and social context. Everything is aimed at a total bio-psycho-social approach of the complaints.

Health coaching can be requested by the client themselves to solve their own symptoms. Companies request this type of coaching often to support their employees in their healing process. So people who were sick for a long time can come back to the workplace.

Process:

Telephone call

Before a treatment can start there is a telephone consultation. During this consultation the main goals are being discussed and questions can be answered.

Intake

Each treatment starts with an intake. During the intake goals are being clarified and discussed. We also start working on solving some issues during the intake.

Meetings

During the meetings we will work more on your goals and important issues will be resolved.

Evaluation

After these 6 meetings there is a evaluation. This evaluation is to see how many of the goals are already met and if the progress is as expected. If not all issues were taken care of follow up steps are determined.

METAMedicine

METAMedicine is all about the emotional background of symptoms and diseases. As soon as these emotional blockages are resolved the body is better capable in healing itself.

A example might make this more clear.

Imagine you are walking in a dark alley, suddenly you feel a knife against your throat. “YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE” is being yelled. At that moment your adrenaline shoots through the roof, your digestive system stops and blood flows to your internal organs and out of your hands. This is a natural response to such a threat.

After you leave the alley and are back into a safe environment you can start to relax and catch your breath. You will get tired, adrenaline drops again, digestive system starts working again and blood returns to your hands. This is also a natural response when the threat has disappeared.

Imagine that this threat keeps with you. Even though you are in a safe environment out of the alley, you still feel the danger. Your adrenaline stays in the high position, your digestive system stays in the low position, blood stays away from your hands. When this takes too long, it is not good for the body and it will result in symptoms and complaints.

When you go to a medical profession with this complaint they will provide you with pain killers and symptom reduction medication. Especially in this case it is not the goal to work on the symptoms but under the underlying emotions and stress. When the stress has disappeared the body will restore and heal itself again.

Like when you put your hand on a hot stove, it hurts. Will you take pain medications? No !, you will take your hand off the stove first. You look for the underlying causes and not just the symptoms.

METAMedicine is specialized in these underlying stressors of diseases. We resolve these stressors so your body can heal.
