  • Confirm medical diagnosis, contact if required with medical doctor
  • Interact with client with an integrative approach and attitude
  • Establishing client’s present situation (regarding their issue) and other mind, body, spirit, social and environmental influences.
  • Asking the client to write down the time line with major events relating to his health issue before the actual consultation.

Consultation - Contact with the client

  • Use of sensory acuity to establish where client is.
  • Explaining what the health coach is going to do during the consultation
  • Hand clap – establishing the correct wiring of the brain.
  • Explanation of the two phases and nine points to the client – including tracks
  • Establishing the emotional, stress based root cause of the issue.
  • Use of Metaphors to explain in layman’s term how dis-eases work
  • Collecting data to establish the UDIN conflict or tracks by layering in suggestions and/or using other methods such as EFT or Kinesiology to get to the root cause.
  • Use the time frame and analysis of the two phases (including any data regarding the healing crisis) to map out the whole disease process.
  • Establishing the whole criteria for the conflict shock, the mind, body, spirit, social and environmental changes that occurred during the shock.
  • If a track, what causes the track to be triggered.
  • Triggering off the two phases as a convincer.
  • Establish where the client is within the phases and healing process.
  • Finding the underlying pattern behind the conflict shock based on client history

Therapy Plan

  • Focus on wellness and the outcome rather than illness.
  • Establish client learning lessons and set positive goals.
  • Formulate with client an integrative health plan by using all the data compiled especially from the underlying pattern and the content of the conflict shock
  • The integrative health plan should be bio-psycho-social in nature and include methods to strengthen the body, ways to let go of negative emotions and conflicts, effective ways to change underlying damaging behaviors and creating awareness of the social and environmental impact to achieve health.
  • Focus on what a client can do daily to create a healthy lifestyle (biopsychosocial)
