Trauma-Informed Mindfulness & Wellness Skills Coach

THIS JOB IS NOT WITH 2070 HEALTH

About the Practice

Intuitive Psychiatry is a San Francisco-based outpatient psychiatric practice providing thoughtful, evidence-informed care to adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, trauma-related concerns, and related mental-health needs. We are building a supportive wellness-skills program to help clinically stable patients practice effective self-regulation strategies between psychiatric appointments. This program complements, and does not replace, psychiatric care and psychotherapy.

We are seeking a warm, highly reliable, trauma-informed Mindfulness & Wellness Skills Coach with strong training in pranayama/breathwork, yoga-informed mindfulness, and health coaching. The ideal candidate combines excellent communication skills, cultural humility, professional boundaries, and the ability to connect authentically with U.S.-based adult patients.

Requirements

Role Summary

The Trauma-Informed Mindfulness & Wellness Skills Coach will provide structured, non-psychotherapy wellness support to clinician-referred adult outpatients in California, working under the direction of each patient's psychiatric provider. This is a non-clinical, non-therapy role with a clearly defined scope.

• Conduct brief individual wellness coaching sessions.

• Create individualized, clinician-aligned wellness routines.

• Teach safe, practical breathwork, mindfulness, grounding, and sleep-support skills.

• Facilitate live virtual group classes focused on stress regulation, emotional wellness, sleep optimization, and skills practice.

• Support patients in developing consistent practices between psychiatric appointments.

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

Engagement & Schedule

• 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.

Compensation

• 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.

Key Responsibilities

Individual Wellness Skills Coaching

• Conduct initial individual wellness consultations for clinician-referred patients.

• Complete a structured, non-diagnostic wellness intake covering patient goals, prior practice experience, sleep/stress/emotional-regulation concerns, barriers to consistent practice, and any past adverse reactions to breath- or body-focused work.

• Develop individualized wellness routines using practice-approved techniques, consistent with the patient's psychiatric care plan.

• Teach practical skills patients can safely use between appointments, and support adherence and routine-building.

• Track patient-reported sleep, stress, mood, and practice adherence, as relevant to the care plan.

• Modify wellness routines within the approved scope based on patient feedback, tolerance, and stated goals.

• Help patients identify when concerns should be brought to their treating psychiatric provider.

Group Facilitation

• Facilitate live, virtual, video-based wellness-skills groups for adults who have completed an initial individual consultation.

• Provide welcoming, structured, trauma-informed, culturally responsive group experiences focused on stress management, breath-based relaxation, mindfulness, sleep-supportive routines, yoga nidra and body scans, gentle movement, ADHD-friendly regulation strategies, and practical daily-life application.

• Maintain group safety, privacy, professional boundaries, and respectful participation.

• Follow practice policy prohibiting recordings, screenshots, photography, and sharing of participant information.

• Ensure participants understand they may stop or modify any practice at any time.

Care-Plan Support and Documentation

• Deliver health education and individualized wellness-skills coaching that supports the patient's established care plan.

• Document coaching activities, time spent, patient response, home-practice plan, and relevant concerns in the practice's designated chronic care management platform.

• Maintain accurate group attendance records and use approved templates and workflows.

• Promptly communicate clinically relevant concerns, requests for clinical guidance, or signs of deterioration to the treating provider through secure practice channels.

• Participate in required supervision, training, and quality-assurance processes.
