As a certified diabetes educator and licensed clinical social worker, Gail Starr provides health coaching for individuals and groups. Whether newly diagnosed or longstanding health concerns, these conditions often create emotional and physical issues for persons diagnosed and for their families. Comprehensive health education about these illnesses combined with supportive coaching can assist in empowering people to have optimal health outcomes, satisfying relationships and a better quality of life.
The interaction between mind and body is well established. Addressing the whole self is vital to the persons who face these challenges.
