One-on-one Coaching Calls with Thyroid Patient Activist & Author Janie A. Bowthorpe M.Ed.
For those who prefer a private consultation instead of group webinars, the one-on-one coaching calls are with the Stop the Thyroid Madness brainchild, author, the go-to, and the ONLY poo-pah of OVER two decades of patient-reported experiences and observations, Janie A. Bowthorpe, M.Ed. **Read ALL below–be responsible.**
1) What is the cost of a one-on-one Premier Coaching Call?
A flat-rate prepayment of the first 30 minutes or less is $95 US and will be requested via an email after Janie sees and replies to the filled out form below.
After the first 30 minutes, it’s $1.95 US per minute. For example, if you go ten minutes over, the extra cost is 19.50. If you go over twenty minutes, the extra cost is 39.00.
***If you absolutely do not want to go over the first 30 mins (and can miss out on important info), it’s your responsibility to watch the time then say you want to stop at 30 minutes. If we do go over, Janie will send a payment request for extra minutes used after the call is finished and which is due the same day.
2) What do I type out below in my request for a one-on-one call?
A brief description as to what your concerns are. One or two sentences max. Please DO NOT do excess details, as Janie will be asking for any details in the call. A live back & forth is far more informative than an email. (Janie does not do calls on evenings or weekends.)
3) After I request a call with dates, how long before I hear from Janie?
You will usually receive an email reply within 3-4 business days max (or less). CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER, TOO. NOTE: if the pointy-eared, internet monster” or the form fails us, meaning you didn’t get a reply after 3 days, you can THEN inform Janie via the Contact form that you never got a reply. DO NOT USE the CONTACT until three days have passed.
4) When I hear back from Janie with a workable date and time, plus how to pay, should I pay timely?
Since thyroid patients are actively requesting, someone else can grab the day and time she offered you if you don’t respond in a timely manner! 🙁
5) Does Janie call me?
If you requested a phone call and paid for it, yes. 🙂 Or if you requested ZOOM (audio & video / video is required), she will email you the link right before the call from the coaching call email. Sometimes, if there was a scheduled call before you, Janie can be a minute or two late. She will get to you 🙂
6) Can I get a refund if I forget about our scheduled day and time? (No)
Can I get a refund if I am late? (No)
Can I transfer the amount to another day/time? (No)
Can I get a refund if I just want to cancel what I already scheduled? (No)
Why all the “no’s”?? Because sadly, some people before you have ruined it for you by being thoughtless & irresponsible by 1) not using any form of notification to remind them that the coaching call is coming, or 2) not checking their email to see that Janie has sent the Zoom link, or 3) not making sure ahead of time that phone ringer is working, or the worst reason….just thinking it’s okay to be tardy. It’s not okay and she will not wait for you. 🙁 🙁 Thank YOU to those of you who have integrity, who are responsible, and who are kind about this. 🙂

***HERE IS WHAT YOU AGREE TO BY DOING A CALL WITH JANIE i.e. the DISCLAIMER:
a) By doing a coaching call, you are agreeing that you will be receiving patient-to-patient information from Janie, based on what you explain about your issues, and based on OVER two decades of patient-reported observations and experiences in getting well. Then you agree to take total responsibility for how you use the information or in working with your doctor. You also take total responsibility for any risks. NOTE: Janie is not a doctor, nor plays like she is one. She is just a patient like you who relays what other patients have reported or observed in getting well for over two decades.
b) You agree that the contents of the call is NOT to be seen as a substitute for your relationship with or guidance from a qualified medical professional.
c) You agree that the $95 pre-payment for the first 30 minutes or less is a flat rate, based on “time”, not on “content”, plus it reserves your spot. If not paid in a timely manner, someone else can grab your spot. You also agree that if you don’t want to go over the first 30 minutes, you are responsible to end the call at 30 minutes . Otherwise, you will owe 1.95 per minute if the call goes over the first 30 minutes. Janie will email you the request for payment of the extra minutes, and it’s due that day. For her mental health, plus for her two fluffy, brother-and-sister cats who live with her, she may try to end the call after an hour.
d) You agree to find a way to REMEMBER the date and time, and be on time <——. It is not Janie’s responsibility to wait on you. There are no refunds.
e) FYI: It’s VERY common to go over the first 30 minutes for the first call, by the way, due to the amount of information given. But you can choose to not to receive all the info and ask to stop at 30 minutes.
Real patient reviews about a coaching call with Janie:
“Hi everyone. I did a call with Ms. Bowthorpe a few days ago. I have never received as much guidance as I got in this call, ever, with anyone, or with any doctor. I’m impressed and especially about the adrenal-cortisol details she gave me. This is the first time I have felt like I can finally feel good again. I know I have to find a doctor who will listen. We all have that problem, but she told me it’s always based on how hard we work to find one. So I will.
“Janie, you and I just got off our call. And I am now sure I know what to do to get my life back again. Thank you.”
“My review is this, I should have used Janie’s coaching call from the beginning instead of what was offered elsewhere. I now see how her information is more detailed and widespread. She mentions she has been doing this for over two decades, and that is clear by what I learned. I am a 43 year old male.”
“This is my second call with Janie. She’s detailed. Has a lot of knowledge to help me. I’m impressed.”
“I am a health professional and have been using Janie Bowthorpe as a coach for my own issues. She has been precise, all encompassing in her knowledge, and supportive. For our latest call, I realize I was wrong not to get more testing that she mentioned that patients do. My wife also plans on doing a call with her. I appreciate it, Janie.’
“Janie, seriously. You are kind in the call and I appreciate that. You also clearly know your stuff from doing this so long. Thank you for doing what you do. “
“I have just finished a call with Janie and I can attest that she knows what she’s talking about much better than someone I’ve used in a particular Facebook group. I have sent this to her to use on her coaching call page”.
“Wow. I didn’t realize I would get so much valuable information to help me get well. I understand my cortisol problem and treatment better. Thank you Janie. It has made a difference.”
“I am sending this to Janie one week after our call to tell everyone that I was better equipped for my appointment with my doctor. I knew what I needed to say to her and what I wanted done. Thanks, Janie”
“I have used Janie’s coaching calls three times now, and I am better. I took notes that have helped me after the call. Janie is knowledgeable and now I see why others recommended her to me.”
“Thank you. I got more from you than I’ve gotten anywhere. Keep up the good work you do.”
