What is Advance Care Planning Coaching?

Advance care planning is a conversation about the medical care you want throughout your life and at the end-of-life. It can also be scary to talk about – you don’t know what the future holds, and you don’t want to burden your family. 

We hear you! Coaching can transform these hard conversations into ones that’ll give you and your loved ones peace of mind. You’ll get the medical care you want and your family won’t need to guess.

“Caitlin helped me figure out what I want in regards to my health,  helped me talk about this with my wife, and also helped us figure out how to care for me as I get older. Now, we have a designated healthcare proxy and one less thing on our to-do list. “

CHARU 

Even though I am (relatively) young and healthy, it’s important for me to have my affairs in order to have one less thing to worry about.

Not only did Lisa help me clarify my own values and what was important to me should I be unable to communicate health care decisions, but our session was a wake-up call as it brought out other wishes that I wanted to work on *now*, including the legacy that I want to leave for my children and wife.

After the coaching session, I felt well-informed and was able to stay focused on my immediate, short-term, and long-term needs.
