I hired Linda to work with my father over a period of 1 1/2 years telephonically. My father was still
running his business, but had end stage renal disease, along with many other health challenges. Although Linda and my father live in one state and I live in another state, Linda was able to accomplish the goals I set forth for my father and provide valuable health information that I was not getting from his multiple health care providers.

She was able to review his medical records, educate and coach me on my father’s numerous diagnoses and symptom and provide a list of pros and cons when treatments where recommended from the medical team.

When my father was hospitalized for pneumonia, she was able to provide beneficial information on questions I could ask his physicians in the hospital and the discharge planner. She was able to communicate with these health care individuals while he was in the hospital as well, deriving additional information that I was unable to get on my own.

Linda was able to develop a wonderful relationship with my father over the phone, along with providing my mother the extra support she needed during this time.

I highly recommend Linda, as her knowledge and wisdom are invaluable resources, especially during critical times of need.

I sought Linda out because I have chronic rheumatoid arthritis and was looking for the expertise of a nurse. Her health guidance & couching have been a tremendous benefit to me. She provided me with food and beverage recommendation that I believe have decreased the amount of inflammation in my body, as well as educating me about how to avoid the toxins & chemicals in my personal care products. Linda helped me initiate a gentle home exercise program that I can perform independently in my house. These exercises have increased my strength and flexibility, which have helped decrease the stiffness & pain in my body. She assisted me with the types of questions I need for my follow-up appointments with my physician & provided me with some wellness strategies to prevent exacerbation of my health condition in the future. Linda’s health coaching and strategies she provided me have improved my communication and decision making with my physician and I now feel that I have more control over my health problems. I would highly recommend using Linda as a patient advocate and health coach.
