What is health and wellness coaching?

The Institute of Coaching defines health and wellness coaching as:

Health and wellness coaches work with clients to improve their health, vitality, and well-being by engaging in [client-selected] behaviors that have been proven to improve health and prevent disease including weight loss, fitness, nutrition, stress, coping, sleep, mind-body and positive psychology interventions. The outcome of health and wellness coaching is [both] expanded capacity for lifestyle change and sustainable lifestyle change. (https://instituteofcoaching.org/coaching-overview/specialities)

What does health and wellness coaching involve?

  • Client-centered: You as the client determine what is important to you and decide what you would like to work on.
  • Collaborative: We work in partnership to explore your vision and support your progress.
  • Not an expert approach: You as the client are the best expert on your life; as your coach, we are not wearing the expert hat, but are to guide your process.
  • Goal oriented: We use the SMART approach to break goals down into weekly action steps.
  • Manageable rate of change: You determine what steps to take each week toward your goal(s).
  • Accountability: Your progress is dependent on establishing sources of accountability that are effective and work for you.
  • Celebrations of success: We acknowledge the wins and harness creativity to navigate around challenges you encounter on the road towards reaching your goals.
  • 3-month commitment: Standard coaching engagements require a 3-month minimum commitment as behavior change requires intentional effort and dedicated time.
