• Communicate clinically relevant concerns to the patient's treating psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner through approved secure channels.

Qualifications

• Strong spoken and written English, including the ability to communicate clearly, warmly, and professionally with U.S.-based adult patients.
• Formal training and demonstrated experience in mindfulness, breathwork/pranayama, yoga-informed wellness, health coaching, or a closely related discipline.
• Training in trauma-informed care and demonstrated ability to facilitate practices emphasizing choice, consent, pacing, patient autonomy, and emotional safety.
• Formal health-coaching education or a recognized coaching certification; international coaching training strongly preferred.
• Yoga teacher training or comparable formal yoga/pranayama education strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, stress dysregulation, and/or trauma-related symptoms.
• Familiarity with the boundaries between wellness coaching, psychotherapy, and medical care.
• Excellent active listening, rapport-building, and group-facilitation skills.
• Cultural humility and demonstrated awareness that U.S.-based patients may have different cultural contexts, stressors, expectations, and healthcare experiences.
• Exceptional reliability, punctuality, organization, and professionalism.
• Comfortable working with secure patient portals, video platforms, structured documentation, and digital workflows.
• Willingness and ability to complete all required practice onboarding and training before seeing patients.

Requirements

• Independent contractor; remote position, candidate may be based in India.
• Anticipated initial capacity of approximately 10–20 hours per week, ramping with patient volume.
• Required availability overlapping with U.S. Pacific Time, including a combination of daytime and evening hours.
• Flexible schedule based on patient demand and practice needs.
• Approximately 2–4 live virtual groups per week, subject to patient volume and program growth.
• Individual patient sessions are generally 30 minutes per month per enrolled patient.
• Adults only; all patients are located in California.

Benefits

• Hourly rate for completed, documented individual wellness-coaching sessions (generally scheduled in 30-minute increments).
• A separate agreed flat rate for each live virtual group session facilitated (applies only to groups scheduled, conducted live, and documented per practice policy).
• The contractor is not responsible for claims, coverage determinations, billing codes, or billing patients/insurers — all payer billing is managed solely by the practice.
• The practice determines, at its discretion, whether coaching activity supports care-management billing or is provided as an included patient benefit.
• Compensation for cancellations, no-shows, admin time, training, supervision, and documentation, if any, is governed by the independent contractor agreement or separate written policy.
• Independent contractor engagement: the contractor is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, workspace, equipment, internet, and other business expenses, except as expressly agreed in writing.
