What is health coaching?

Health coaching at Stephanie Rolfe Wellness is a transformative partnership aimed at helping you achieve your optimal well-being. It represents an innovative approach to healthcare that complements traditional practices, fostering a collaborative partnership between you and a qualified healthcare professional.

​

As your health coach, I will work closely with you to identify your unique health goals, create actionable plans, and provide unwavering support throughout your journey.

Whether you're striving for weight management, stress reduction, improved nutrition, or overall wellness, I will empower you with the knowledge, motivation, and accountability you need to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

​

Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of your health, making it not just about managing symptoms or improving health indicators, but fostering lasting vitality and happiness.

​

Is there really a benefit to being a health coach AND a registered nurse?

There is every benefit to having a blended practitioner! Being a health coach and a registered nurse means I have an understanding of your experience in and out of the clinical setting. This allows me to better see you as a whole person, not just in one area of your life. Together we’ll review your health history and current status, but also look at your “deep health”, such as mental health, physical health, and environmental health. We’ll paint a picture of where you are now and where you want to be, and set a plan in motion to make it happen.

​

Nurses are a regulated profession, so you also benefit from working with a practitioner that is held to the highest standard of practice, including confidentiality, therapeutic relationships, documentation, and ethics. As part of my ongoing commitment to my practice, I regularly engage in professional development activities and peer feedback to ensure my practice meets not only my own standards, but the standards set forth by the regulatory bodies I am registered with.

​

As a PN certified master coach, I also commit to ongoing professional development through meeting minimum continuing education credits every two years. I have access to the latest health promotion research and evidence-based tools to help support my practice.

​

Are your services covered by MSP/OHIP/AHCIP?

Because my services are not associated with a publicly funded facility I am not able to direct bill like a doctor can. All my services are considered private pay. HOWEVER, in addition to in-depth knowledge and fantastic client-centred service, as a registered nurse my fees are able to be claimed as a medical expense on your taxes, in every province and territory in Canada. For more information on this and to confirm your eligibility, visit the CRA website or consult a professional accountant.

 

Where do you offer services?

All my services are conducted virtually. At present, I am limited to providing virtual care to people who reside in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, Canada. Unfortunately I am not able to accept clients as a registered nurse in other provinces, territories, states or countries due to restrictions on registered nurses practicing from outside of their jurisdiction. If this includes you, please contact me using the form at the bottom at his page and I can look into the regulations where you live to see if I may be permitted to practice.
