FEEL BETTER
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOUR BODY DOESN’T COOPERATE WITH WHAT YOUR MIND WANTS TO DO. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA.
I know how scary it is to wonder, “Am I disabled?” I also understand how hard it can be to explain the ups and downs of Fibromyalgia to friends and family—how you can have a good day one moment, and a bad day the next. Like many of my clients, getting the correct diagnosis was not easy. In my case, it took five years and just as many doctors. Along my journey to healing, there were many medications, plenty of physical therapy, and continual exploration to find underlying conditions that were triggering my pain and fatigue. Always, my goal was to live a full life, even with Fibromyalgia. Today, with a preventative approach that I have developed, I have almost no body pain and enough energy to do the things I want to do. It was a long process to get here—including exhaustive research, training, and much trial and error—and it was truly life changing. This is why it is so important to me to bring this message of healing to as many Fibromyalgia patients and their families and friends who will listen. As a coach, I teach that it is more than just preventive care concepts. It’s taking care of yourself without feeling guilty and not getting tired of doing all the right things—like getting enough sleep, practicing good self-care, taking the right supplements, eating healthy, and so on. Fibromyalgia Coaches fill a critical gap in the healthcare system by providing clients with knowledge and support beyond their medical appointments. We teach our clients how to exercise the right way, make dietary changes that can reduce pain, track symptoms to monitor treatment effectiveness, and so much more. These are things that are challenging to figure out on your own—especially when you are bogged down by fog, pain, and fatigue! Your coach or advisor will be your cheerleader, encourager, and instructor along the way. She will celebrate your victories with you, encourage you when you think there isn’t anything to celebrate, and teach you to how to apply what you’re learning to your daily life.

COACHING EXPLAINED Less Pain, More Good Days
A Fibromyalgia Coach is your ally helping you through the process of good days and bad days. Patients who are interested in getting a Fibromyalgia Coach should be willing to be coached and committed to putting in the effort required to make the changes. Reclaiming your health with a personal coach requires willingness to try new things, dedication, and a desire to feel better. If these attitudes sound like you, a Fibromyalgia Coach may be the perfect choice for you! A Fibromyalgia Coach is someone who is trained to provide support specifically for Fibromyalgia patients. It’s a bit of a cross between health coaching and life coaching, with a focus entirely on helping clients live as well as possible with Fibromyalgia. Does it work? An independent pilot study1, conducted by Ohio State University, indicated that Fibromyalgia patients who receive coaching are living better lives filled with more “good days” and less pain. They also save money by having fewer doctor visits. Patients learn to come to terms with their Fibromyalgia diagnosis. They understand their treatment options, implement prescribed lifestyle changes, reduce Fibromyalgia symptoms, and navigate the often-confusing medical system. But, that’s not all. It’s what happens in a coaching session that really makes the difference in reclaiming your health.

Fibromyalgia Coaching
HOW FIBROMYALGIA HEALTH COACHING WORKS… Fibromyalgia Health coaching includes regular appointments, typically once a week for about 45 minutes, to give you the support you need on your wellness journey. During coaching sessions, usually done over the phone, the coach will use professional training, research and experience with Fibromyalgia to look at current habits and talk with their client about any challenges that have come up since the last session. Next, they focus on setting goals to incorporate healthy habits into daily life. Together, the coach and client will decide what to focus on. At the end of each session, the client will have one or two items to work on until your next session.

STRONGER, HEALTHIER, AND HELPING OTHERS
From Client To Fibromyalgia Health Coach J U L I E
H A M I L T O N
For people without health issues, a big life change, like moving cross-country, can induce stress and fatigue. For someone like me, who struggles with Fibromyalgia, my recent big move resulted in some real challenges to my already tenuous health situation. The weather was impacting me and I was having a lot more bad days with brain fog, off and on pain and a few other challenges as well. Before committing to working a health coach, I knew I had to be real with myself and my coach about what was going on in my body and my mind, instead of pushing down my feelings. As a result of working with Tami Stackelhouse, I have many more good days. Tami is a wealth of knowledge and offers powerful suggestions for living my best life. She holds me accountable to my personal goals about making myself feel better. She also looked beyond the Fibromyalgia, and helped me to identify some other problems; and then offered guidance through her vast professional network. And here’s the best part: I am now a graduate of The International Fibromyalgia Coaching Institute. Becoming a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach has given me a renewed purpose in life. It is so rewarding passing on what I’ve learned, helping others have more good days, too!
