Eileen, San Francisco, CA

I hired Linda to work with a friend of mine in her early twenties who lives in New York City. My friend had a health problem that required her to see a Gynecologist and was informed she may have a pre-cancerous cervical condition. She was scared and unable to react fast enough to even get to a physician in a timely manner. Linda recommended that my friend also see a second gynecological physician who has successfully treated several patients with this problem. Linda’s great advocacy and health coaching skills resulted in an extremely satisfying outcome. Linda was able to accomplish the following: Quickly assess my friend’s health situation, outline what needed to be done and had her seeing both physicians within the next 8 days. Linda helped her understand her condition in easy to understand terms and assisted in preparing for both of her medical appointments with a couple of short coaching sessions on the phone. Linda gave my friend a better understanding of her condition. This gave my friend a greatly needed sense of confidence to deal with the medical world and her own health problem. Most importantly, Linda relieved my friend of her fears.

Ed Alter

My father lives in St Louis and was experiencing a variety of health problems due to an intense pain in his hip. He wasn't interested in seeing his doctor and was unclear about his options for physical therapy. Through a phone consultation, Linda gave me great recommendations for my dad’s home rehabilitation, which included suggestions on how to approach him on the issue, a clear breakdown of all medical his options and an explanation of how to find rehabilitative providers near his home. The strategies we put in place, based on Linda recommendations, have made my father stronger and able to remain in his home longer. I found Linda to be a wonderful combination of compassion, expertise and resourcefulness.

BACK STORY:  Desperate to get quick answers, Ed needed recommendations for his Father as soon as possible, since he could only communicate with both his father and the medical team telephonically. I made several recommendations for home rehabilitation and home safety, as well as who to contact, which had not been proceed to Ed.

His father made a healthy and safe recovery.
