Massachusetts, and I coach remotely as well. I’ve coached people from all over the US, as well as Canada and the UK.
My first position as a PT was at a hospital-owned outpatient ortho and sports medicine clinic in Newburyport, MA. I was there for three years. What did you do after that, and for how long? The short answer:Pharmaceutical Sales for 7 years The long answer: I had to leave the PT world after my first three years due to the low rate of pay relative to ...
By this time, I’d divorced and was a single parent of two—with no child support. I’d wisely always kept my PT license current. For the next year, as I was looking for another sales role in pharma or medical device sales, I fell back on my PT degree to get me by. I worked a short- term contract in outpatient before transitioning to home care. I was ...
Unfortunately, the pharma sales industry was going through some major contraction in sales forces across the board (scarcity of jobs!). I’d been landing lots of interviews, but nothing was a good fit.
Exactly. I finally decided to put my effort back into a PT career, in a setting I knew I loved, and I accepted a full-time position with a PT-owned ortho and sports medicine clinic in 2009. With my seven years of business experience, I was able to negotiate a rate of pay that was competitive. After a couple of years there, in 2011, I accepted a pos...
There I was, in 2009, no longer a new grad. I was 11 years older—let’s just say my body started to talk back to me from the long days of patient care. I continued to seek non-clinical PT rolesand was fortunate to get the management position in PT. It was still 75% clinical, but with more flexibility and income than staff PT. I saw that “partial-cli...
Well, over the course of the next five years (2011-2016) I was working super hard between the management and the clinical care, and I was getting all kinds of injuries and generally feeling depleted and exhausted. The work didn’t feel as rewarding, and I found in patient care that there was no notion of recognition for a job well done, just call-ou...
With the help of a career coach, I learned about the emerging field of health coaching. But I put it aside at the time because of the additional training required. I was in the process of interviewing for other non-clinical roles in the rehab space (Director of Rehab, Medical Device Sales for rehab equipment, Medical Device Sales for joint replacem...
Over the past couple of years, I have gradually stepped back from treating patients. First, I let go of the management position in favor of a staff PT position. This allowed me to stay at 30 hours/week, whereas had I stayed in the management role, I was expected to ramp back up to 40 hours, and I knew my body couldn’t take that, both from the stand...
I’m a Certified Health & Life Coach, and I work with the bosses, the leaders, the career-driven, the caregivers, and the head of household Parents who feel burnt out and stuck amid the high demands of their work and life. I help them reignite their energy, motivation and momentum so they can powerfully propel forward again.
I’m Laura DuBois, Master Transformational Life Coach, Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Physical Therapist and Faculty Instructor for an accredited coaching certification program. It pains me to see so many adults who are going through the motions with career and family, faking it to make it - but dying inside.
