Prepare For Your Surgery
with Integrative Health and Wellness CoachingWhat does your ideal surgical experience look like?
In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to have surgery at all. But if that’s not an option, then the next best alternative is choosing to make the most of the situation – doing all that you can to have a successful surgery, heal quickly, avoid complications, and minimize side effects.
Would you like to be an active participant in your surgical care?
Being an active participant in your own care means taking a proactive role in planning and preparing for your surgery and the recovery to follow. This includes understanding the pros and cons of the procedure, understanding your risks and what you can do to avoid complications, learning ways to reduce side effects, and making the most of your body’s innate healing capacity.
What can you do to help yourself prepare for your surgery?
Your surgical experience can be what you want it to be, and there’s a lot you can do to prepare yourself to have the best possible surgical experience!
Beginning with guidance from your surgeon, you can:
- Optimize your health to reduce the risks of complications and improve your course of recovery.
- Learn mind-body techniques that will help you reduce fear and anxiety and manage pain.
- Incorporate complementary practices that are effective for improving healing and reducing side effects.
- Be empowered when your needs, values, and preferences are taken into consideration by your healthcare team.
You don’t have to figure everything out by yourself, and you don’t have to go it alone.
Integrative health and wellness coaching is a process that empowers you to play an active role in your health. Studies show that patients who are more actively engaged in their care experience fewer readmissions, fewer medical errors, and better communication between and among providers.
Through coaching, I will help you help yourself – preparing yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so that you will have the best possible outcome, a positive experience, and a quick recovery.

My Expertise
I have over 26 years of experience as a nurse; sixteen of those as a nurse anesthetist – caring for patients as they undergo surgery.
Thanks to advances in modern medicine, surgery and anesthesia are safer than ever before. But I understand that almost everyone experiences some level of fear, worry, and anxiety when faced with undergoing anesthesia and going “under the knife.”
I also understand the demands, consequences, and side effects of surgery and anesthesia – and I can help you meet those demands, prepare for those consequences, and minimize side effects.

Becky helped me identify what areas of my life I wanted to focus on for improvement and formulate a specific plan to achieve those improvements. I appreciate having accountability with checking in on my progress. It has helped me to realize I need to write down my goals, big or small, so that they don’t get lost in the endless tasks to get done everyday.
Becky is dedicated in facilitating you to making specific changes, that would benefit anyone that wants to become the better versions of themselves. Her encouragement to taking specific behavioral risk, with accountability, is a very enlightening process that leads to personal development in specific behavioral goals. Helped me to “look under the hood”, to identify some negative behavior.
I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Becky. She was attentive and did a phenomenal job helping me to organically come up with realistic, achievable goals and to appreciate my self worth. She is so calming and immediately put me at ease. Cannot recommend her enough!
The sessions I did with Becky were so helpful. She was encouraging and easy to talk to. I implemented the tips and techniques she showed me and they were able to have a positive impact in my life. She facilitates an environment that encourages you to work towards your best self. Thank you Becky!
