CONTEST ALERT!
**For 2 lucky guests who leave a review on this episode, before February 4th, 2021, we will be giving away a free coaching call from Lori Kennedy!**
We are joined by CEO and Founder of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum. Sandra and I have been bumping into each other, virtually, for so many years, as we share similar values, networks, and goals for our independent businesses. It was SO nice to finally be able to have Sandra come on the show, and share her amazing journey in creating the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.
Sandra takes us back to the start of her career as a school teacher, teaching students with learning disabilities. This sparked the drive to go back to school, earn a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, specializing in positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mind-body medicine. This was the foundation that led her to become a Certified Practitioner for the Institute for Functional Medicine. She went on, with her partner Elyse, to create the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.

Sandra is an extraordinary woman, and her passion and dedication to transforming the Health and Wellness Industry are second to none.
Sandra talks about the gap in the Health and Medical field, (that I actually see with clients ALL the time), between the Health and Wellness professional and their client. This gap leads to the client not feeling “heard”, or the client not providing full transparency or continuing their accountability with the professional, because there is a specific skill set that the professional is missing. That skill set can be discovered through coaching.
That gap in skillset is where ‘client-centered focus’ lives. What does the client ACTUALLY need? What mindset does that client need to be in, to achieve the goals that they are determined to achieve? What are the alternative factors that could be impacting the desired outcome for the client? If the client is not being open and honest, and does not have trust built with the professional, then they will never be satisfied with the outcome.
