Providing coaching, companionship or general medical interpretive services for patients undergoing surgery or other medical procedures. I have 12 years eperience as an operating room nurse in hospital and outpatient settings. My experience as a perioperative nurse includes all areas of surgeries from pre-op, circulating within the operating room, assisting the surgeon during surgery, and post anesthesia care.  I am well qualified to walk you through the process of undergoing surgical procedures and the immediate recovery. 

I am also a cancer survivor and understand how difficult it is to navigate the diagnosis, surgeries and other treatments involved in the cancer recovery journey.  My services can include notetaking, explaining procedures or medical terms, asking questions for clarification and companion services if you do not want to sit alone while waiting for procedures or medical caretakers.  My coaches training helps with navigating emotionally charged situations and providing encouragement or goal setting as needed. 

Please note I do not give medical advice, only interpretation.
