Health and Wellness Coaching



Do you desire to make changes in your life and need guidance and support?


Health and Wellness Coaching is the solution!



Health and Wellness Coaching:
  • Is an individually designed one on one web based process conducted by telephone or face to face
  • Mentors the client in understanding the process of change
  • Encourages client to be responsible and accountable for own wellness decisions
  • Guides the client toward the setting of weekly and 3 month goals
  • Mentors the client's development of a plan of action
  • Supports client in the adoption of lifelong wellness practices

The coaching relationship is a vitally important part of the process of change as a close relationship and partnership with a coach provides the structure, accountability, inspiration, motivation, and expertise that can enable an individual to grow and develop beyond what he/she can do alone.

Who are Wellness Coaches?
Health and Wellness Coaches are knowledgeable, experienced, wise, engaging and are great listeners. A licensed Wellness Coach has completed Wellcoaches® coach training, which is endorsed by the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine.

Health and Wellness Coaches are credentialed health and fitness professionals, health educators, mental health professionals, behavioral health therapists and/or personal trainers who coach clients on the evidence-based areas of health and wellness. These areas may include: nutrition, weight, exercise, stress, depression, relationship issues, career, family dynamics, self care and other areas of life which impact personal health and wellness.

A Health and Wellness coach will provide the support and guidance you need as the coach honors the strengths, values and potential that you the client possess. The process of changing and improving the overall quality of life, health, and wellness is a lifelong journey.

Developing a partnership with a coach will provide the necessary
  • structure
  • accountability
  • inspiration
  • motivation and
  • support to empower you to see where you are, where you want to go, and how you are going to get there

Coaching works with the whole person and facilitates insight and clarity through inquiry, reflection and personal discovery by the client. A wellness coach encourages a client to be responsible for the setting of weekly goals as well as for accountability for working towards 3 month goals. The focus is on your future as you move through the process of positive self-change.

A Wellness Coach does not diagnose or treat any condition but may refer the client to a specific expert if deemed necessary.
