Behavioral health coaching is highly beneficial for people with chronic health conditions because it provides personalized support to help individuals manage their health more effectively. Through a single call or a series of follow-up calls, patients receive tailored guidance on setting achievable goals, improving self-care routines, and adopting healthier behaviors. This ongoing support helps patients build confidence in their ability to manage their condition, reduce stress, and overcome barriers that might hinder their progress. The interactive nature of behavioral health coaching empowers patients to address emotional and psychological factors that impact their health, fostering greater adherence to treatment plans, improving quality of life, and ultimately enhancing long-term health outcomes.

Every week that we train together for Joe’s Parkinson’s, we talk about the Pirates. Today he got to throw out the first pitch at the game and we practiced at yesterday’s session while working out. We are all proud of you Joe!

Today is National Exercise Day! Exercise is an important part of my life. Owning a business in which I primarily train people with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions is extremely rewarding. My one-on-one clients and those in our group classes are a true inspiration to so many. Keep up all of your hard work!

Today is World Parkinson’s Day. Barb is very kind and brought 30 tulips to class and gave one to each person. Our class has built their own community in which they stay for lunch, share information, and form many long term friendships.

In the spirit of March Madness, our Thursday Parkinson’s exercise class practiced their 3-point shot. During the cognitive skills class I had them memorize a list of basketball words with Kentucky being the final word. I went on-and-on about how I chose them to win the tournament…I’m going to pay for that when I see them next week! Always enjoy teaching this group.
