IFBB Bikini Pro shares her path to taking control of her life and healing her inner child

BRANDON, MB, Jan. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — On the surface, Laura Louise projects confidence and discipline, however this is not something that has always come easily to her. In her new book, “The Need to Nurture: Broken by Hearts of Steel, Rebuilt by Metal and Iron,” she reveals her difficult childhood that left her navigating layers of trauma and how she turned that trauma into success as a bodybuilding champion.

In this memoir about childhood trauma, abandonment, and abuse, Louise shares how she was a latchkey kid who learned how to protect herself by any means necessary.

“Over the years, the violence and head games persisted, leaving one painful scar after another,” Louise said. “As a latchkey kid, I was parenting myself and my brother, who I was only about two years older than. I was missing the parental aspect of nurturing. As a child myself, my role had been changed, and my needs as a child were stripped from me. I was always under a spotlight, criticized for my every flaw and mistake, no matter how minor.”

As she got older, and began to overwork herself as a distraction, pushing her goals further and further to the point that they were unreachable, just to keep her mind from being idle. It was once she turned her fear into fuel as an adult that she was able to turn a corner and begin to heal, turning to the gym as an outlet, and earning her IFBB pro card as a result.

“The need to nurture and the need to feel productive has fueled my purpose,” Louise said. “I couldn’t control my environment, so I decided to take control of myself and my body. I’ve competed in over 40 bodybuilding competitions. Now when I’m in the spotlight, it’s because I put myself there to show off my hard work.”

Louise plans to continue sharing her story in future books to help others who are looking to overcome their own traumas.

Since its founding in 2015, CCS’s critical focus has been to help clients in health centers and private practices improve patient care, outcomes, and satisfaction. This focus also directly affects the providers’ bottom line as CMS and payors are tying reimbursement to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction scores.

According to Chronic Care Staffing COO, Connor Danielowski, the effects of improved patient satisfaction are numerous, but prime considerations include outcomes, costs, and overall improved patient well-being. “Studies show that patients who are more satisfied with their care are more likely to follow their treatment plans and have better overall outcomes. As for costs, satisfied patients are less likely to use unnecessary healthcare services, saving payors money. And finally, like every business or institution, payors want to be seen as driving value and clinical excellence. By tying reimbursement to patient satisfaction scores, they demonstrate to their beneficiaries that they are committed to providing quality care.”

AI Technology Benefits Clients

This innovative AI software is a robust platform that has been shown to improve patient satisfaction by leveraging features such as real-time agent coaching, which provides immediate feedback to CCS remote clinical staff during calls. This helps improve communication skills and resolve patient issues more effectively. Additionally, automated call scoring and analysis identifies areas where clinical staff can improve. This can help practices boost their overall customer service performance.

For Chronic Care Staffing president Cas Danielowski, the new AI software is the right tool at the right time. “In remote healthcare, patient satisfaction results from quick, reliable connections between clinicians and patients. It’s about delivering accurate information in a clear, constructive, and reassuring manner. With our AI solution, we now have faster call resolution times, real-time agent coaching, and automated call scoring and analysis. It’s one more tool Chronic Care Staffing can use to help medical practices ensure that their patients are receiving the best possible service.”
