Hi, I'm Mike Van Gilst, RN, NC-BC

​

 

I'm not just a health coach, I am also a client.  I believe in this methodology so much that I insist on continually being coached by others.  And so I can honestly say, THIS COACHING REALLY WORKS!  Less than a year ago I was stuck in a cycle of chronic pain, poor sleep quality, poor exercise and coping habits, anxiety, and disillusionment and fatigue at work.  In essence I was complicit in the demise of my own zest and passion for life.  I was not living; I was just existing.  I found a nurse coach who helped me identify and confront several latent fears and assumptions about myself that were holding me back from embracing the change I KNEW I wanted in my life.  With insight, patience and the power only another nurse can have, she also helped me prioritize goals and create a plan to achieve those goals. 

 

Here I am, 10 months later, my chronic pain is all but gone, I'm prioritizing mindfulness and am therefore more grounded and thinking more clearly, and I'm seeing life and people with new eyes.  The challenges of work are no longer sources of despair.  I'm excited about my potential instead of being governed by self-doubt.  I've created an exercise habit and I'm achieving goals there as well.  Most importantly, I am constantly seeking new challenges and I have the confidence to pursue them with passion and excitement.  Am I done growing?  ABSOLUTE NOT!  But I am where I am because of that decision I made those few months ago to take one small step with a health coach.  But not just any health coach, a NURSE COACH.  Nurse Coaches are the only board certified health coaches backed by a professional degree.  When it comes to your health, quality matters.  Don't skimp on your health.  It WILL be the best thing you do for your future self.  Take it from me!
