• Coaches guide you through a tried and tested process that maximizes your success.

• Coaches support you in tracking your weekly progress and hold you accountable for your commitments.

• ​Coaches provide additional resources for making healthy behavior changes.

What are appropriate topics for health and well-being coaching?

 

Every coaching relationship is unique. The coach and the client form a partnership to better equip you to realize your optimal health vision based on your goals and values. Any concern that gets in the way of taking care of your optimal health and well-being is the perfect subject with which to begin coaching. This research-based model explores the whole person and explores any area of your life that is affecting your health such as personal and professional development, spirituality, relationships and communication, physical environment, nutrition, movement/exercise/rest, and mind-body connection.

​Therefore, any topic you want to bring up that you think will contribute to your optimal health is an appropriate topic for health and well-being coaching.

​How do I Prepare for a Coaching Session?

 

Each coach approaches individual sessions differently. Typically, coaches will provide you with paperwork that will help streamline your health vision and goals. Once completed, you and your coach will set up a time to connect and begin your first session.

Is Health and Well-Being Coaching for Me?

 

Your health and well-being is more than your numbers. Everything in your life impacts your overall health and well-being. If you are feeling stressed out and overworked, I can support you to create more balance in your day-to-day life so you can feel more present and connected with yourself and others. If you are feeling stuck and are not sure where to start, I would love to partner with you and empower you to live your best life by making sustainable lifestyle and behavior changes to experience optimal health and well-being.

How Long Does it Take to Create Sustainable Change?

 

It usually takes a minimum of three months to change behavior and create a new one that can become self-sustaining. Six months or longer may be more suitable to explore significant challenges (e.g. work and life transitions, career change, smoking cessation, significant weight loss, or dealing with a chronic condition). Studies confirm that people who use integrative health and well-being coaching realize more profound benefits than those who do not. We get results!
