Hi, I'm
Dr. Cary Yurkiw, DC
Health Professional & Coach
31 Years in HealthcareI offer two distinct coaching services — one for individuals working on their health, and one for health professionals growing their practice. Choose your path below to learn more.
Which one is right for you?
Why I coach two very different people.
After 31 years as a practicing clinician, I noticed something: the people I helped in the treatment room and the colleagues I sat beside in conferences were both struggling — just with different problems. Patients wanted lasting health changes but couldn't make them stick. Practitioners wanted thriving careers but were burning out trying to build them.
Both groups deserved better than generic advice. So I built True North Consulting to bring real clinical experience, honest coaching, and practical systems to whoever needs them — on the patient side or the practitioner side of the table.

What makes the work different
The same principles guide every coaching relationship — whether you're a patient or a practitioner.
Real Clinical Experience
31 years in healthcare means I understand the realities of clinical life from the inside — not just from textbooks or theory.
Personalized to You
No cookie-cutter programs. Every recommendation is built around your specific situation, goals, and the constraints of your real life.
Built to Last
Coaching that creates sustainable change — not quick fixes that fade. Habits and systems that hold up when life gets busy.
What people are saying
Voices from both sides of the work — real testimonials coming soon as we gather them.
A real client testimonial will appear here once gathered with the client's permission. If you've worked with Dr. Cary on your health journey, reach out to share your story.

Results vary. Coaching outcomes depend on individual circumstances, commitment, and consistency. Coaching is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Quick answers for anyone who's not sure where to start.
Which coaching path is right for me?
If you're working on your own health (weight, energy, habits, nutrition), Health Coaching is for you. If you're a licensed health professional looking to grow your practice, build a sustainable career, or strengthen your leadership, Career & Business Coaching is the path. Still unsure? Book a free 15-minute consult — we'll figure it out together.
Can I use both services?
If you're a health professional who also wants to focus on your own health and energy, yes — many of my best clinician clients started in Health Coaching and later moved into Practice Growth, or vice versa. We can talk through what makes sense for where you are right now.
Do you work with people remotely?
Yes. All coaching is delivered virtually — webinars, group sessions, and 1-on-1 calls all happen over video. This means you can work with me from anywhere, on a schedule that fits your life and time zone.
What's the best way to get started?
The lowest-pressure way to start is the free webinar for whichever path interests you — for individuals, the wellness webinar; for clinicians, the practice growth webinar. If you'd rather chat directly, book a free 15-minute consult and we'll figure out the right fit.
What kind of healthcare background do you have?
I'm Dr. Cary Yurkiw, DC — a practicing chiropractor with 31 years of clinical experience. I've spent that career working directly with patients on health and wellness, and alongside fellow clinicians on the realities of running a practice. That clinical foundation shapes every coaching relationship I take on.
