Integrative Wellness Coaching for Acute Illness Survivors
Did you know that nearly 60% of patients discharged from the ICU will experience cognitive, psychological, and physical challenges?
If you’ve survived a critical illness and have experienced nightmares, hallucinations, difficulty with memory, overwhelm, guilt, poor concentration, weakness, pain, or trouble problem-solving, you might be one of them.
You’re not “crazy.”
It’s not your fault.
There is help.
Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a collection of symptoms that remain after a patient goes home from the ICU. They often last months to years and hinder patients from fully returning to the abilities they had before their hospitalization.
