With the prevalence of ever-present technology in our lives, the reality is that there is less and less face-to-face contact with other people. As a health care provider, working in the private sector, my focus is on providing appropriate care to my clients at their convenience. As part of that convenience, I offer phone, email and Skype (using a secure HIPAA-compliant program) follow-ups which can facilitate better, easier and more consistent and long-lasting follow-up, which is associated with more sustained behaviour change and better long-term outcomes for health and quality of life. There is good evidence for the success of follow-up counseling using tele-health options, and I will now be offering a package which includes an initial consultation plus 5 30-minute follow-up appointments, which can be done either in-person or entirely through phone or Skype contact. This will also include email support. Contact me with any questions or to arrange an appointment or a free 15-minute introduction to learn how I can help you achieve your nutrition goals!
