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.

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.
