Positive Health Coaching

A Clinician’s Guide To Thriving

When life changes the rules

Positive Health Coaching (PHC) offers a holistic perspective on health. It promotes complete physical, psychological and social wellbeing as a realistic resource for everyday life. Illness doesn't just affect your health—it challenges everything you've built your life and identity around. As a high-achieving professional, you're used to being in control, solving problems, and meeting every challenge head-on. Poor health can feel like your body has betrayed the very foundations of who you are.

Eleanor knows this territory intimately. Living with chronic illness since age four while building a distinguished medical career, she understands the unique challenges facing accomplished professionals who must learn to navigate limitations while maintaining their sense of purpose and achievement.
