Joining a Medical Practice

Rita Thompson, NBC-HWC

Mayo Clinic and National Board-certified Health and Wellness Coach

​As many of you know, I became a certified Health & Wellness Coach through the Mayo Clinic before I became a National Board-certified Health & Wellness Coach. One aspect of the Mayo Clinic training that resonated with me was how they saw Health & Wellness Coaching as an integral part of a person's overall healthcare.

The medical system can be challenging to navigate, especially when a patient sees many specialists. I've been curious about coaching within the clinical setting to streamline the patient experience and make connecting with a credentialed Health & Wellness Coach easier for patients.

It is with great excitement that I share with you I am now the on staff Health & Wellness Coach at Synergy Private Health, a comprehensive primary and cardiovascular concierge practice affiliated with Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Mass General Brigham.

If you are a client (coaching or Pilates) through my private practice, there are no changes. I am grateful to be able to maintain my private practice while joining the team at Synergy Private Health.
