Approach to care

Your well-being and success is my #1 priority and you will receive my very best care and attention. Your needs and values are placed at the forefront of any action plan. You will explore and consider adopting changes in areas such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, harmful substance avoidance, and social connection. You will build self-efficacy so you have the confidence and skill set to achieve good health.

Your first session with Ben

In the first session you will build a trusting relationship with me and explore your motivations & barriers to change health behaviors. You will chart the journey ahead with an action plan that involves doing habits you are confident you can achieve and will move you closer to your health goals. You will highlight metrics you would like to monitor to see how your plan is working. You will set a follow-up date to assess how the plan is going and receive continued support.
