Education & Experience
Lorraine Janeway is our clinic owner and our senior coach. Lorraine’s coaching and training ability comes from the unique blend of her traditional counseling education with a focus on systems (masters degree, counseling psychology, Lewis & Clark, 1989) and her executive coach training through one of the most respected executive coaching schools in the U.S. (New Ventures West, 2011). These skills combine to artfully promote alignment, cooperation and progress with the clients she serves.
Lorraine’s gift is in developing people and the organizations with which they work. Her coaching stance is that people are growth-oriented and have a deep desire for excellence. Coaching’s purpose is to work with these natural internal motivations to facilitate transformational movement. Because coaching provides a respectful, co-creative environment, it brings a “looking” that simply isn’t available otherwise. It is within this new “seeing” that behavior alters, leaders transform and organizations move.
All gifted coaches hold the coaching client accountable for their own results. The coach’s responsibility is to stand for the client’s stated coaching goals even when the client loses his/her way. At that level of advocacy, the coach must be able to respectfully take on uncomfortable conversations without moving into anxiety or capitulation.
Lorraine is certified in Covey’s “7-Habits” and “The 4 Disciplines of Execution”, has 4 years of post-degree studies in systems training, has taught in the business department of the local college and served as adjunct faculty for New Ventures West. Lorraine has extensive public speaking experience and her humor and insight provide a learning environment where listeners can relax, internalize and transform.

Mission Statement
“I work to create a haven for our patients, taking the time to create a supportive, educational patient-doctor partnership, thus allowing every patient to be in control of his/her own health. Our holistic approach to medicine means the team looks at each patient as a whole person – not just the symptom being experienced or what can be easily articulated.”

What Others are Saying
“The greatest benefit of our work has been that it’s given me a sounding board for the ideas, thoughts, and feelings that are often difficult to share with the people on my team. It has also helped me find a new perspective on what is possible—breaking out of the binary trap that I had fallen into. It’s incredible to see the world and our business as full of nearly endless possibility instead of as a simple either/or equation. I’ve also been able to find a much more sustainable balance in my work, personal, and family responsibilities.”
