What is a Health and Wellness Coach?

A certified coach is a trained professional who has taken training to support others in setting and achieving goals in their health, wellness, nutrition, spiritual and mental wellbeing. A coach helps to develop a personalized plan to include nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other aspects of well-being.

What happens during a coaching session?

Sessions are for the coach to provide open and supportive conversations with the client. The coach actively listens to your concerns, asks questions to better understand your goals and challenges and helps identify ways to find solutions. The coach will provide educational resources, tools, and techniques to support you and your progress.

How can a health coach help me?

A coach can help you identify and clarify your goals around health, wellness, meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, and other aspects to achieve your personal goals. Together you create an action plan and the coach provides ongoing support and accountability. Areas include weight management, stress reduction, improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, establishing healthier habits and overcoming barriers to change.

How is a coach different from a healthcare professional?

Nutritionists and personal trainers focus on a special area of health. A coach takes a holistic approach to address all areas of wellness to include the mind, body, and spirit.

Where and how often will I meet/communicate with my coach?

The coach will work with you to set up an action plan and this will determine the amount and frequency of meetings or communication. It could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on your individual needs. Support is provided through in-person meetings, Zoom virtual meetings, phone calls, texts, and emails.
