Open Office Hours
An optional, weekly meeting where Members across cohorts ask questions that arise between appointments and program sessions.
Because inflammatory and immune-mediated conditions tend to show up in predictable patterns, we have found that our members have very similar questions, concerns, and fears—even when their symptoms are very different.
It’s common to feel isolated and alone in your experience - yet the truth is that you have far more in common with the many people suffering with chronic health issues than you may realize. These similarities include the the autonomic nervous system dysregulation that allowed your conditions to develop, as well as the frustrating reality that your bodies don’t always respond as expected when trying new interventions. Finding the energy to successfully implement the changes you want to make is often challenging. While it’s true that everyone of us is unique, and OCC’s treatment approaches are highly customized, it’s also true that there are common themes, universal patterns and shared experiences.
By creating an open space for answering Member’s questions, everyone benefits from learning together, feeling connected, and knowing that you’re not alone on this journey.
How Open Office Hours Work
Open Office Hours are hosted by Jessica, Micaela, and Alexandria. (Occasionally one OCC team member cannot make it.) Members may submit questions throughout the previous week via the patient portal.
While we cannot guarantee that every question received will be answered on the following Monday, we make every effort to address all inquiries in a thoughtful and comprehensive manner that offers the greatest benefit to all.
Between group visits with your cohort, individual appointments with your providers and health coach, and weekly Open Office Hours, you’ve got a lot of access to the transformative care you need to see you through to the other side of this healing journey. And most of OCC’s memberships include six months of ongoing access to Open Office Hours after your Treatment Groups finish to make sure you are supported in navigating any hurdles you encounter as you transition to managing your own health!
