Support for your Surgical Journey
and Beyond
Wherever you are in your health journey, you don't have to navigate it alone. From surgical preparation and recovery, to GLP-1 support, and building healthier lifestyle habits to reach your wellness goals, a personalized Registered Nurse & Board Certified Nurse Coach gives you the time, education, guidance, and support to move forward with confidence.
Preparing for Surgery? You Don't Have to Do It Alone.
Surgery can bring questions, uncertainty, and alot of information all at once. Nurse Coaching and support gives you dedicated time to prepare, understand your provider's instructions, and focus on the whole-person throughout your surgical journey.
Did you leave the surgeon consult feeling...
-
Anxious or uncertain about your upcoming surgery or recovery?
-
You still have questions about the surgery, what to expect from surgery, and what recovery will be like for YOU?
-
You want to enter surgery fully prepared, physically, emotionally, and confident in recovery? Your mindset is as important as your stitches
-
A need for deeper understanding of your pre- and post-op instructions you've received from your surgeon?
Personalized
Nurse-Led Wellness Coaching
Let's discover together what health and wellness look like for you! You don't need another person telling you what to do, you might need someone who listens, educates, and helps you move forward one small step at a time. Together, we'll focus on your goals and the changes that matter most to you.
Can you relate to these...
-
Your labs are "normal" or "you're doing all the things", but you aren't seeing the changes you want.
-
You want to create sustainable habits that will allow for better sleep, managed stress, more nutrient dense diet, and moving to feel good.
-
You need more time and explanations around meds, a diagnosis, GLP's, blood glucose regulation or just need someone to help you make sense of it all.
-
You want someone who listens, educates, and helps you move forward without judgment.
You have a
GLP-1 Prescription,
Now What?
Your Provider manages the medication and medical care. We help you navigate everything else.
From figuring out what to eat when your appetite changes to protecting muscle, building sustainable habits, and preparing for life beyond the medication. You don't have to navigate the journey alone.
Hi! I'm Jennifer Smith, BSN, RN, Board-Certified Nurse Coach, & Founder of
My Surgical Wellness.
I'm so glad you're here! With 25+ years of nursing experience, I've seen first hand that surgery is more than a procedure and I acknowledge the physical, emotional, and lifestyle changes that come with any surgery, procedure, or health condition. I've seen how much information patients are expected to absorb during an already stressful time.
My passion and commitment to patient education and taking the time to truly listen is what inspired me to create My Surgical Wellness. My goal is to give you the time, education, and personalized support you need to feel prepared, confident, and empowered throughout your surgery or health journey.
A Nurse Coach is an experienced Registered Nurse with added board certification training in coaching to guide patients toward lasting health and lifestyle changes. Registered Nurses are well suited for wellness coaching to help you improve your lifestyle habits, prevent disease, educate on chronic disease topics, and help patients prepare and recover from a surgery or procedure. Nurses Coaches help patients understand their health, identify what matters to them, turn goals into manageable actions, and stay accountable, while recognizing when further medical care is needed.
Why a Nurse Coach?
What you GET!
Foundational Wellness!
My Surgical Wellness provides nurses with multiple decades of clinical experience. We are a bridge between visits and beyond. We offer 1:1, group, in-person, or virtual nurse-led coaching sessions to help you feel prepared, confident, and supported before and after surgery and beyond. We work under our Nurse Licensure Compact allowing us to work with clients in most states. Nurse Coaching is evidence-informed, patient-centered, and a useful way to help people improve stressful health events, health behaviors and lifestyle habits.
What Nurse Coaching Is Not...
My Surgical Wellness provides non-diagnotic education, coaching, and support. It is not home visits or emergency care. It does not replace your surgeon or healthcare provider's plan of care and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, emergency care, or changing medications or medical treatment plans. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your health plan or if you have health concerns.
