The Value of Having In-Home Medical Services

January 22, 2019 by Nick Joly Leave a Comment

mediseen at home medical services

Last month I booked an appointment for a certified yoga instructor to come to my home and guide me through a new method of yoga.

If you follow my journey over on Instagram @inspiredbynick, then you may already know that the yoga studio I’ve subscribed to here in Toronto follows the Bikram method. It’s not my preferred approach to yoga if I’m being perfectly honest, but it is effective. It provides the challenging workout I’m looking for, while also leaving me feeling more enlightened, more connected.

I’ve always loved the feeling I get after finishing a hot yoga class. Almost as much the feeling I get after a long run. Almost.

That said, I’d been curious to try a new approach to yoga… without having to subscribe to a new studio or get invested with a new class. I knew that if I wanted to master this new approach I would need 1:1 attention with the instructor. So I decided to try MediSeen — and before I go any further, this article is written in partnership with MediSeen, however, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and honest.

I decided to give MediSeen a shot because I liked what they stood for.

      • Enabling healthcare providers to deliver care in their communities.
      • Making quality healthcare more accessible, and more personal.

We teamed up to give you guys 25% off any consultation you book with promocode NICK25!

And as it pertained to what I was looking for in a new yoga method, I was ready to book my one on one with Kathy Felkai, a yoga instructor who believes in restoring health at any age through proper movement of the body.

Here’s a link to the video summary of the appointment I had with Kathy Felkai in our meditation room at home! https://youtu.be/T_a_6Wr7vmQ 

Booking the appointment through the MediSeen website was fairly easy – what you would expect from any modern day service booking site.

But it’s so much more than that!

It’s actually so much more than just yoga, too. They offer a comprehensive list of medical services with professionals that you can book to come to you, making healthcare more accessible and convenient for you.

I thought it was a really clever business model that I was instantly attracted to.

Accessible physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, personal trainers, registered dieticians, social workers, yoga therapists and more.

Imagine having a doctor come to you, in your home for a private, personalized hour-long appointment devoted to your health and conditions. Versus having to make your way to a clinic, take a number, be exposed to countless germs, and wait to be “served” only to spend 10 minutes with a doctor who will often (in my case anyway) prescribe antibiotics to fight whatever conditions you’re suffering.

We’ve all been there. It’s no fun.

And in this case, I was specifically looking for one-on-one advice and guidance as I attempted this new yoga method. The personal development and attention you get directly from an instructor on a one-to-one basis versus a one-to-thirty (and sometimes one-to-fifty) basis is incredibly beneficial to your learning experience. And it can all be catered directly to your specific needs and conditions. I loved that.

Kathy, the instructor, was great. And you can see from the video that the appointment left me feeling enlightened.

mediseen online booking health services medical attention

Whether you’re looking for a one-on-one yoga instructor/therapist to teach you specific moves or a new method, you can book it through MediSeen. Subsequently, if you’re looking for more direct medical attention, like you would get from a clinic’s physician, or a chiropractor or other medical professional, you can book those through the same site!  

With a few of my aging family members, I would certainly recommend they use MediSeen. In their cases the biggest advantage would be to receive in-home care without them having to struggle to make their way to a hospital or clinic because of their reduced mobility.

Have you used a service like MediSeen before, and if so, how did you like it? Would you sign up to receive one-on-one yoga classes? Or have a physical therapist come to you for physiotherapy sessions? Let me know in the comments below or on social media @inspiredbynick!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person.

Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
