“I was really struggling with compassion, fatigue, and burnout, to the level that it was affecting my work and my life, and I knew if I could not improve these things, I would be searching for a new job or even career. Working with Kristi through the Wellness 360 coaching program really helped. Without Kristi’s coaching and support and the tools and strategies I learned, I would have certainly quit my job. Instead, I learned mindset changes and skills to deal with the stress in my work. I developed new habits that have allowed me to have a lot more energy. I feel a lot less stressed and so much happier. I am enjoying my patients and feel like I’m making a difference again, like I did when I first began practicing medicine. The changes Kristi taught me were easy to implement and sustainable and I know they will have a huge long-term impact on my health and life. If you have been considering joining this program, do not wait. It helps you become your best self!!”
“I first noticed the article in the Monitor about the coaching this Fall and was interested, so I contacted Talya and we got together where she explained the program and answered all my questions. I gave it a try. I was able to identify my goals for the future, which included weight loss, a regular exercise routine, and some lifestyle decisions. She arranged a month’s free trial at Tri-State Athletic Club with 8 private training sessions. I worked with Robin who does an outstanding job leading you through a series of weight training exercises in 30 minutes with clear explanations of how to get the most benefit. Talya met with me for an hour every two weeks and we discussed my progress, making suggestions and keeping me focused. This was a greatly beneficial part of the program. I highly recommend giving it a try.”
“The comprehensive session not only discussed working out but how to exercise different body parts. I received a great handout. It would be even better if there was one live session instead of a virtual session for the initial session. I learned about food products that are anti-inflammatory, which I was not aware of. In the session, D3 levels and overall health were discussed. The pleasantness of Rachel made the session fun and a great learning experience. I hope VCMS wellness will offer health classes in the future.”
“Over the years, I have consulted with several financial advisors to set up my investment accounts and retirement plans. I have participated in several wellness 360 financial presentations and found them both informative and helpful. I wanted to get a second opinion on what I was already doing and investigate if there were other opportunities that I wasn’t aware of that would be helpful for my financial situation.
The programs offered access to some very successful financial advisors that presented information on current financial circumstances that impacted my situation. I not only learned some new information but also saw what I was already aware of from some new perspectives that helped reassure me about my current strategies and make some modifications to improve on what I was already doing.
The Wellness 360 programs helped me be more confident in pursuing my financial goals through these turbulent times.”
