Cogent Executive Coaching offers wellness coaching for professionals, especially those with cancer or other illness. Practicalities, mind-body links, and deep meaning of disease and recovery are addressed.
Wellness coaching emphasizes working more effectively with the mind-body connection, a topic on the cutting edge of 21st century medicine. Neglecting sleep, exercise, a healthy diet, and time to regenerate only adds to the stress of a high-performance job, eventually sapping productivity. Ignore your body's needs long enough and your health will suffer: hypertension, heart disease, obesity, type II diabetes, even cancer are linked to destructive -and largely unconscious - habits.
A special focus of Ann Hollier's coaching practice is professionals who are cancer patients and survivors, their families, colleagues, and professional caregivers, as well as business people with other life threatening illness.
A long-term cancer survivor, Ann understands first-hand many of the challenges presented by serious illness.
Ann's approach views illness as a call to action, a requirement to move toward wholeness and vitality at all levels - physical, mental, and spiritual. For those who embrace the lesson, it is not about avoiding death but about living life fully.
Wellness coaching supports:
- tackling practical and emotional realities of a diminished ability to participate in work and family life
- being a fully informed and participating member of your treatment team
- interacting effectively with insurance providers
- navigating medical, legal and financial decisions in case of terminal illness
- developing and implementing a realistic work reentry plan

"When you stop cursing the symptoms and get deeper into the images instead, then the healing comes... The symptoms open you up. They literally tear you open so that the things you need can flow in."
