Shared Appointments (SMA) are Group visits! Each person's participation is strictly voluntary.
During a typical SMA, 5 to 15 participants or coaching clients are seen together in a setting that encourages asking questions, and sharing concerns and experiences. You can learn from other participants in this environment as well as your health coaching team.
Most have been overwhelmingly satisfied with the program. They enjoy the opportunity to relate to other people who are dealing with similar issues, share stories and ideas, learn from one another and truly create a bond. Shared appointments are particularly valuable to people dealing with a variety of wellness conditions concerning their weight, energy, aging, and overall wellbeing. Everyone has the opportunity to be a role model to someone else!
If participants have individual questions that were not addressed during the shared appointment due to confidentiality or time constraints, they are encouraged to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss those concerns in detail.
