What is Health Coaching? Health coaching is a process. It's a process that involves you and your health coach and it will have you setting and sticking with your goals. It's about taking you from where you are now, towhere you want to be. It's also about building a trusting relationship with someone who truly cares about your health and well-being.
Health coaching is about transformation and it's about empowerment. Although we all move through change (and through life) in our own ways, the process of health coaching will take you on a tried and true path towards healthier living.
Health coaching involves:
Identifying what healthy change(s) you would like to make and recognizing what's been holding you back
Developing a new mindset to not only make you feel more confident about making healthy changes, but to get you excited about them!
Creating a vision of your future healthy self, based on your interests, skills and values
Setting effective, realistic health goals for yourself with the help of an expert
Planning ahead for challenges and obstacles
Forming long lasting, sustainable healthy habits and routines that set you up for long term success....
What can my Health Coach offer? Your health coach will provide you with all the support and guidance that you need in order to make a healthy change. There is no one-size-fits all approach. Your coach will hold you accountable to your own health goals, in a way that works for you. You will always have someone in your corner, cheering you on, on your rough days and your best days.
You will be offered unconditional positive regard and we will always keep the coaching sessions centered on your individualized needs. And the best part is, you’ll see that healthy living doesn’t have to be so complicated or challenging after all.
Your coach will be your partner and will also be your catalyst for change. Your change will happen through incorporating healthy habits into your daily life, beginning with safe, easy, small steps that eventually will lead to big changes. So be prepared to be empowered by your coach.

What is a Health Coach? A Coach is an expert on transformation. Coaches help people like you get out of ruts. They help you work towards your goals, implement changes faster, understand yourself more deeply, and hopefully obtain a better quality of life as a result.
Coaching sessions provide you with an opportunity to report on what's been working for you and what hasn't. It's a time to set small but significant goals together for the week ahead. It’s a chance to touch base with your accountability partner. It’s a chance to analyze your current trajectory and to make adjustments as needed, with the help of an expert.
What can I work on with my Health Coach? The concept of “health” is a very broad subject. People come to health coaches for a wide range of issues they may need assistance with.
Examples include:
Assisting with weight loss
Improving sleep hygiene
Increasing energy levels
Adopting a healthier diet
Managing stress
Improving health markers (i.e. blood sugar levels, blood pressure, BMI)
Beginning exercise programs
Incorporating healthy habits into daily routines...and more!
What can a Health Coach NOT do? Your health coach cannot diagnose, advise, treat, prescribe, interpret medical results, write individualized meal plans, recommend supplements or provide psychological therapeutic interventions. Your health coach is not your doctor, therapist, counselor, dietician or nutritionist.
Instead, your health coach is your accountability partner, your cheerleader and your coach. Your coach will help guide you and keep you on track towards a healthier lifestyle. Your health coach will uncover and mobilize your internal strengths and will set you up for success. Essentially, a health coach can help you transform your health related goals into realities!
Are you ready? On this journey, we will brainstorm together, celebrate together and persevere together. By signing up for this program, you will have the opportunity to transform yourself into a person that takes action. You can become that person that went from dreaming to doing. You can finally be the healthier version of yourself that you've been longing to become. There's absolutely no reason you don't deserve this as much as anyone else. Don't forget this.
