After many years working with individuals on achieving their health goals, I have found certain patterns and reasons that have determined whether a person succeeds in achieving their goals or ends their journey in frustration. Part of this is based on the motivations that drive you toward achieving the particular goal. To help in setting up the best start for you towards accomplishing your goals, I would like to ask you some very important questions. It is equally important that you answer these questions with complete honesty and really look deep within yourself for the answers. What are you hoping to achieve by working with us? If you could change or take away any three issues, what would they be? 1. 2. 3. Have you actually made the decision to change and do whatever it takes to get well? Yes No Please list 3 things you have been unable to do as a result of your present situation. Be specific. 1. 2. 3. Are there any other health goals you would like to achieve? Thank you for taking the time to fill out these questions. Your answers provide very valuable information that will allow us to discover the missing piece to your puzzle that will solve your particular health problem. Once all the forms have been completely filled out, please return them to our office and we will then make an appointment for your initial consultation.
