🌿 Kindness, Grace, & Professional Courtesy 🌿

At Live Well, we believe healing happens in spaces where kindness is mutual, grace is abundant, and professional boundaries are respected.

Behind every message, refill, and reschedule request — there’s a real human doing her best to care deeply for each patient while also protecting her own health and peace. 💛

✨ Please remember:

Medical questions need a scheduled visit

Portal messages are for brief updates only

Prescription/lab questions should go directly to the pharmacy or lab

My personal phone isn’t used for clinic matters

And yes — it’s okay to extend the same grace you would hope to receive 💫

Let’s continue to honor each other’s time, energy, and humanity.
Kindness goes both ways. 🌼

Life Coaching vs. Counseling: What’s the Difference?

Many people ask, “Should I work with a life coach or a counselor?” While both can support personal growth, they serve different purposes.

➡ Counseling focuses on healing. It helps individuals process past traumas, emotional struggles, and mental health challenges. A counselor is trained to diagnose and treat psychological issues, providing guidance for emotional well-being.

➡ Life Coaching focuses on growth. It helps individuals set and achieve future goals, improve mindset, and create a fulfilling life. A life coach is not a therapist but a guide who empowers clients to break through limiting beliefs and take action.

Simply put:
🔹 If you’re feeling stuck because of past wounds, a counselor can help you heal.
🔹 If you’re ready to move forward but need clarity and motivation, a life coach can help you grow.

Both are valuable—it’s all about where you are in your journey! Contact us to take the next step on your journey!
