Do you want to be Well Overall?
If your answer is yes…then you have come to the right place!
Hello! My name Becky Stevens and I am an integrative health and wellness coach.
I help women and men – of all ages and all stages – attain, regain, and maintain optimal physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being so that they can enjoy good health, optimal wellness and live life to the fullest!
I specialize in coaching individuals to prepare for surgery – empowering them to overcome anxiety, fear, and worry; heal faster; experience fewer side effects; and optimize their health both before surgery and during their recovery after.
I have over twenty-six years of experience as a nurse, board certification in holistic nursing, and am a certified yoga instructor. I have been an advanced practice nurse in anesthesia (CRNA) for sixteen years. I have national board certification in health and wellness coaching and nurse coaching.
Discovering that you need to have surgery can be a frightening and intimidating experience. Even having an elective procedure can elicit feelings of fear, worry, anxiety, and a sense of the loss of control.
Your surgeon and hospital or surgery center will give you instructions on how to prepare yourself for your procedure, but they probably won’t have the time to give you the personalized and focused attention that coaching can provide. Integrative health and wellness coaching is a client-centered, solution-based process that focuses on helping you identify your needs, choose your goals, and achieve those goals. By using an integrative approach based on holistic principles, you will be empowered to access and activate the innate healing capacity that lies within you.

Resilience
What got me started on this topic was several emails that I received from different people and organizations related to wellness to which I subscribe. Suddenly, resilience was a hot topic. Probably because we have been dealing with the pandemic for a year now. Most articles addressed the need for and benefits of resilience regarding emotional health and well-being.
Listening
In my efforts to become a health and wellness coach I am working on becoming a better listener, so listening is a topic that’s important to me. As I’ve watched the news and witnessed all the talking, shouting, accusing, blaming, and condemning that’s been happening lately, I think that one thing the world needs now is more listening. Listening is a skill that is seldom taught, and few of us do it well. It’s much more than just hearing another’s words and understanding the meaning – listening is an act that involves mindful presence, compassion, understanding, and acceptance.
Rather Than a New Year’s Resolution, Set a SMART Goal Instead
It’s getting to be that time of year again: that time when you make your New Year’s resolutions! For good or bad, this is a tradition many of us follow, myself included. But this year, I am taking my New Year’s resolutions to the next level and making them SMART goals. SMART is an acronym for a process of goal setting along with an action plan that makes the goal more achievable. Rather than just stating a generalized goal, as resolutions often are, SMART goals are well-defined and include actionable criteria that lead to goal attainment. By setting a SMART goal, you define exactly what your goal is as well as how and by when you plan to achieve the goal. This leads to less frustration, a better chance of success, and finally: goal attainment!
