Bouda Life Coaching’s vision is to transform the aging process, age related morbidity and life’s transitions through the application of our unique model of life coaching and concierge medicine in the health and wellness arena to achieve quality functional time on this planet earth. We will join with your company to analyze your data and create a targeted health and wellness program that supports the willing to alter their life trajectory and draws the doubters into the program because of the infectious success and enthusiasm we will celebrate. You pay for what you receive and not a PMPM or PEPM fee for internet or telephonic prompting without face to face time. Our high touch approach will actually provide the tools to forge the keys to start the engines to change life’s trajectory for a smoother landing at retirement and a better productive work life.
We know from actuarial tables that if you reach 65 you have a 50% chance of making 85, a 33% of making 90 and an 18% chance of making 95. All your employees would love to meet and exceed these numbers. To achieve these numbers we must lessen the life threatening illnesses and the aging morbidity. Also if we build a long lasting internal health and wellness program we can lessen long term and short term disability, absenteeism, worker’s compensation claims and make retirement more meaningful and less expensive.
The purpose of our model’s programs is to provide a breakthrough in an employee’s or company’s fundamental abilities to shift their focus away from self limiting, fear based perceptions, to useful conclusions and thought patterns that will empower their collective health, wellness and productivity. Our education / coaching model draws out and leads forward the innate and often hidden wholeness in each person.

Why Use Bouda Life Coaching Wellness
Monday, February 11, 2008
What's Love Got To Do With Anything?
So, it's February and there's a lot of buzz about 'Valentine's Day" and we begin to wonder what we should do for our loved ones. Well, the question is - why does it matter? In coaching, we are aware that Relationships are a very important form of energy for our everyday lives. So, why not direct the focus of your attention on those loving relationships in your life? The world could us a little more love and afffirmation, so why not take advantage of this special time of year to do something so 'sweet' and loving for some special people in your life. Maybe even for those who aren't always considered the most important. Would it be all right to be generously and genuinely kind and caring with your grocery checker or the clerk who sells you your favorite perfume. Connecting with another in a special way is a gift you give to the other and then you receive a gift right back. Try it - with those you're close to and with those who aren't. The results may just warm your heart and bring a sensse of meaning to everyday events.
For now, I send you the warmest of regards during this rather cold season!

Concierge Medicine – “One physician, One relationship, Countless Possibilities”
What would it be like if you could relight your fire, ignite your passion and finally fulfill your dreams? You would really have quality time on this planet earth! You cannot accomplish this if you are ill or suffer from faltering energy. NOW is the time to take charge of your health and be as discriminating in what you purchase for health care as you are in buying a car or a TV.
Concierge Medicine is a patient focused, physician guided model of health care management across the many health care services available. Americans want:
1) Access for appropriate health care
2) Choice of quality providers
3) Efficient and effective care
The purpose of health care is an improvement in active functioning life expectancy not increasing life expectancy itself.
Today’s medical complex is plagued by long waiting vigils, brief physician visits, fragmented health care, insurance hassles, competitive health care systems and cost consciousness by insures, providers and government.
To achieve quality, personalized health care you need a Quarterback for your healthcare interactions who is not influenced by insurers, systems nor ancillary service profits (Laboratory, X-ray, Surgicenters, Personal Facilities). As we age, we interact more often with the health care system whether because of the “consumer driven health insurer changes”, living arrangements, or the accumulation of bodily wear and tear.
Would it be helpful if:
1) Your healthcare was more coordinated, understandable and communicated
2) You knew what specialists or hospitals to go to
3) You had some one to go to the doctor with you and explain what was said
4) You had a GPS for your healthcare needs
5) Your medicines were only those necessary
6) You had a personal health care plan
You and your loved ones can accomplish this with Concierge Medicine – a unique way to effectively and efficiently interact with the healthcare systems to optimize your care, minimize your side effects, and reduce your risk. Concierge Medicine helps you discover the:
1) Right care
2) Right time
3) Right Facilities
4) Right providers
5) right support
Concierge Medicine is a new approach for finding health and health is the #1 component of HAPPINESS.
Concierge Medicine provides clarification of a personal health plan that meets your unique needs and continues to evolve as you do. Your Concierge Medicine Physician Coach will support you in these health plans to reduce chronic illness and slow the aging process. They will work with the whole person with time to listen and create a plan for lasting change, personal empowerment in a non-judgemental and non – critical way.

We are interested in working with your company in 2008 to optimize your health and wellness.
We have partnered with the Academy of Coaching Excellence certified coaches throughout the United States. We also have three additional physicians to Dr. David Bouda, that provide us with a broad spectrum of expertise. JoAnn Bouda has been selected as a Licensed Seminar Leader for the Academy of Coaching Excellence and thus has access to all their tools for seminars, workshops and talks.
We have a plan and an intellectual infrastructure that will allow us to stratify your populations by 11 vital health measures so we can target and focus upon those people most in need of lifestyle interventions. We fit nicely into the growing corporate culture of health and wellness no matter how the company is insured. We are a value added voluntary benefit that can directly affect the bottom line for businesses.
The growing world of consumer driven health care [CDHC] seeks dollar reduction but provides no guidance for cost, quality, procedures, drugs, and medical devices. Our Concierge Medicine component can fit that niche without the cost of disease management programs and provides the value added benefit of direct physician involvement in navigating the healthcare system. Of course, Concierge Medicine is sensitive to HIPAA, confidentiality and can be that privacy buffer for effective health interventions.
We would like to have an opportunity to discuss this with you and your company.

I have been regulated and a regulator and I have led institutions striving to develop and advance healthcare within a heavily regulated environment.
