The Concierge Program
A team of health professionals to expertly & consistently guide your medical journey.
We Believe
The patient should be at the helm, actively developing their personal narrative with the support of Clinical & Lifestyle Guides, who help navigate the complexities of the medical system, investigate and identify next steps, translate progress, and confidently communicate their questions and desires.
Who We Serve
Our Concierge Program is designed to support patients who value the help of a trusted partner–whether it’s to help closely review their regular health concerns or assist in facing a serious chronic illness or complex medical issue.
What We Do
We help our clients anticipate their health needs on a consistent basis, providing high-touch care. Our Guides help you to review and understand your medical care, including your portal. We walk with you, side-by-side, as your Story Stewards, throughout your journey.
We also consult with clients on an ongoing basis giving them a more holistic view of their health and empowering them to deepen the mind-body connection, increase their resiliency, and develop their personal narrative.
“Thank you for being there for my dad & me, when we needed it most”
— Lisa D. (Minnesota), Concierge Program Client
Our Guides take advantage of critical hinge points in their clients’ journey to educate and help them successfully navigate health transitions.
“The team helped me better understand my role as a patient. I advocated for my story and my relationship with my care team improved. I trust my physician more now because he knows what I expect from my care.”

Our Services
-
Services $5000
This service is for people who want a guide, not just a checklist of how healthcare is received. It’s about being known and seen. We don’t just react; we walk with you and anticipate and reflect with you on your health journey. Think of us as having a companion on the road-not someone giving you orders, but someone walking beside you. During our time together, you will receive the following services:Listening for the Story
Illness is never just about symptoms; it exists within a personal, social, and historical context. By understanding the full story, meaningful guidance can take place. Many feel unheard or dismissed in medical settings, where their lived experience is often overlooked by clinical protocols. The Journey Guide Project re-centers your perspective as a central part to medical decision making through:
Unlimited relationship-based navigation
Reach out via email, text, calls
Schedule an online visit for support when needed
Crisis support
Guaranteed rapid response if something urgent arises
Quarterly life check-ins
Structured sessions to revisit goals, hopes, worries, new diagnoses, & family dynamics
Unlimited participation in all community calls and workshops
Navigating Choices
The Journey Guide Project illuminates how medical recommendations emerge—not as absolute trusts, but as possibilities shaped by studies, clinical trends, and assumptions so you can make the most informed decisions that are best for YOU. Become better equipped to ask the “right” questions with your care team, tell your story in a way that reflects your true needs, and participate in shared decision-making rather than dictated to by medical algorithms.
Navigate your voice and your story to gain insights on how to map your journey of wellbeing
Gain access to ongoing curated resources, essays, tools, and practices that balance the latest scientific evidence, professional perspectives, and lived experiences to help you create the journey that is right for you, right now.
Tuning into the Body
Modern medicine often treats mind and body separately and secondary to medical intervention rather than integrated into the core of healing. Every thought we have, our cells are listening, so we help you listen to the wisdom of your illness, recognize and reframe thoughts for optimal healing and making meaning.
We help you cultivate an intuitive awareness and understanding of the language your body is communicating with you through easy practices that have all been extensively vetted through neurological and somatic research
Companion support in your online Electronic Health Record to help you better understand the medical jargon, so you are confident in your medical treatment and decision making
Leveraging Relationships
When we are stressed, our brain’s survival mode kicks in and we tend to turn our thoughts inward and isolate. However, we are social creatures and healing rarely happens in isolation, so we help you take practical steps to strengthen your support network and care team.
Family and caregiver support
Learn how to involve loved ones without feeling like a burden
How to build a trusted care team
How to communicate medical realities in ways that foster understanding rather than fear
Making Peace with Change
Exploring conversations of hopes, worries, and fears as helpful tools in cultivating resilience, adaptability, and making meaning amid uncertainty are key steps in coming to peace with change.
Receive reflective summaries of your narrative map
Be heard and seen during calls with us where grief and loss of “what was” or “what is” is witnessed and honored without fixing
Putting It All Together
These five domains provide the foundation for Journey Guide practice. They are not rigid steps but interwoven aspects of guidance. From deep listening to decision-making, from body awareness to social connection, and from grief acknowledgment to meaning-making, a Journey Guide’s role is to walk alongside you—not as an authority, but as a thoughtful, steady presence in the complexity of illness and healing. The Journey Guide Project prepares you for more effective engagement with the medical system so you can communicate your needs that help you achieve favorable outcomes. Concierge participants experience:
· Fewer emergency department visits, reducing panic-driven decisions
· Reduced medical overuse through informed decision support
· Improved confidence and clarity in navigating medical complexities
· Enhanced ability to listen to the wisdom of the body
· Strengthened relationships
· Greater acceptance and peace with change
· Improved preparedness for future health events
Bring your whole self into your care—not just your diagnosis, but your story, your values, and your relationships. Join the Journey Guide Project today.
