Congratulations!!
You are almost done!
It is a big achievement to make it all the way to this page. This alone shows that you have determination, an open mind and the ability to reach every goal you set your mind to.
We hope you have thoroughly studied the previous case studies because they show you how to structure and evaluate a case. Don't worry it takes time to be able to connect all dots.
Some final thoughts:
Many things change when you move from theoretical learning to client coaching.
You have to listen to their story, problems, histories, and fears and have to put the puzzle together for each individual. They have different beliefs and limitations, which need to be taken into account. You have to feel empathy to be able to get in real contact with your client.
Your beliefs are also getting challenged from client to client.
Not everyone needs a low carb diet and not everyone needs to start his or her day with a green detox smoothie.
There is likely not ONE but MANY factors that lead to their signs, symptoms and diagnosis. The unique puzzle each individual is creating, is very often not matching up with theory. This can be overwhelming from time to time, especially if you have a client with complex symptoms, but don't worry. You can use the coaching program like a road map to find the root causes of your clients dis-ease.
Constructing a time line (even when missing certain dates) will help you to get a feeling and overview of your clients situation. You can connect triggers to events, emotional challenges to diseases, lifestyle choices to disease developments.
Good luck with your final Exam!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact your teachers or Sabrina directly (sabrina@trulyheal.com)
Final Exam TRULY HEAL Health Coaching Program
1.) YOUR CLIENT ANALYSIS
Use the attached TRULY HEAL questionnaire and find a friend, family member or client to fill it out for you. (Please use someone with health issues)
Establish a timeline and write up a thorough evaluation of your client (as seen in the case studies). Send the comprehensive evaluation together with the filled out questionnaire and timeline to sabrina@trulyheal.com.
Prior to beginning this assessment ensure to receive consent from your client and inform them that you will share her/his information with a third person to become qualified as a TRULY HEAL Health Coach. Please make this assignment as comprehensive as possible.
Word count 2000-5000, word counts above 5000 will not be accepted.
Here are some guidelines:
- a) Go step by step through the answers and record your findings. Draw up a timeline, as seen on the video and case studies. This will help you to get a very good overview. Elaborate on your findings (disease development, causes of disease)
Add notes for:
Physical Body:
Weekend Immune system
Signs of Chronic Inflammation
Hormonal Imbalances
Gut Health
Urinary Health
Toxic Exposure….
Vital Body (Summary of lifestyle habits)
Energy and Spiritual Body (Summary of beliefs, values, passion, traumas…)
b.) Then write down questions you might want to ask your client additionally or more specifically.
c.) What kind of functional testing would you recommend? And why? (Please prioritize testing)
d.) How would you proceed with this client? How can you help the client?
e.) What are the main important factors the client needs to look at?
f.) What diet advice would you give the client?
g.) What kind of lifestyle changes can you recommend?
Don’t forget you are not treating the client; you are only coaching.
Remark: When you send the filled out questionnaire to another person via e-mail then you have to export the original file as PDF. Otherwise all multiple choices boxes will be filled in. Also this changes the file to not editable.
2.) YOUR CLIENT RECORDING
Film a short video of a session with a client, friend, family member where you explain the type of coaching they can expect from you. This could be a first time coaching session with a new client. Duration around 15-30 min!
Please make sure that you record a conversation with your client and not a staged, pre-written explanation.
You can, but don’t need to use the same client as from assignment case 1.
Again make sure that you receive consent from your client and inform them that you will share her/his information with a third person.
Your video can be uploaded to www.wetransfer.com, which is a website that offers free upload of bigger files. Also youtube or google drive are mediums to upload the video.
Please download questionnaire as fillable PDF file!
Download the PDF onto your computer. You can send the file to your client attached in an email. Let your client know that they have to save the filled out questionnaire pdf to their computer before they sent it back to you.
