Most people understand what healthy lifestyle habits look like. Being able to consistently take action that supports an optimal level of health requires more than information. Health and wellness coaching helps people create an individualized plan; discover the motivations, values, strengths, and assets that will help make and sustain their desired lifestyle changes; and manage the challenges that arise on their path to better health.
Principles
The foundation of coaching lies in the understanding that each person is innately wise, capable and whole. Coaches guide people to find their best way forward. Health and wellness coaches create a safe space to investigate patients’ journeys, create a vision for optimal wellness, and move forward with their desired outcomes. Our coaches use curiosity, presence, and authentic communication skills to listen empathetically and understand the fullness of a person’s life circumstances, help them uncover what is keeping them stuck, and create an action plan that will move them forward and fit their lifestyle.

Services
Health and wellness coaches offer individual sessions. They also partner with providers who are offering integrative group visits to their patients.
In your session with a health coach, you will provide some background information about your lifestyle, including stress, nutrition, physical activity, social support, sleep, energy, mindset, and sense of meaning and purpose. You will work with the coach to identify your vision for wellness and use that vision to create short- and long-term goals that fit into your lifestyle. You will discover resources that will support your new health habits and plan for any challenges that might make your desired outcome harder to achieve.
