MEET LAUREN DINKELYour Coach & Advocate

  • ABOUT ME

Early experience with health navigation arose with the news of my thoughtful pediatric specialists to accept “my new normal” after acute myelin sheath damage at age 8. In my twenties, I acquired and recovered from hyperadrenergic POTS. In adulthood, I developed a rare disease of the neuromuscular junction. I have invested significant effort and heart into new care concepts and strategies in my quest for condition management. I am pleased to share my condition is stabilized and I continue to experience symptom improvement each year.

While our health pathways are unique to each of us, I have gained a number of skills and knowledge that make navigating cumbersome health scenarios more fulfilling and efficient. I have been honored to assist many with their health pathways through the years. To best support others, I uphold the standard of practice and code of ethics defined by the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy (NAHAC).

I hold past experience as a certified neuroplasticity-based coach. I have had the unique opportunity to gain insight from the daily, long-term experiences of hundreds of individuals with various unmanaged conditions in a professional setting. This has helped pave the way for what I do now. 

Why am I a Health Navigation Coach?

Too often there is a gap identifying what an individual needs for adequate condition management. My heart lies in seeing to these needs being fulfilled. I help individuals identify what they may need to regain progress and wellness. I approach coaching with compassion and creativity, and it is an honor assisting these brave individuals.

Why a Nuthatch?

The nuthatch is a delightful, unassuming bird that embodies courage, resourcefulness and adaptability – a brave soul.
