Health Coaches Make Wellness More Accessible

Wellness is not just the absence of disease. The goal of health coaches is to reduce the need for disease care by helping a client to establish a balanced state of ongoing health. A health coach is educated in nutrition, holistic health and coaching, enabling her to guide people in making healthy lifestyle choices and achieving personal wellness goals.

Health coaches create a safe space for their clients to explore their health, facilitating behavior and lifestyle change that can be sustained for the long-term. A health coach can help a client reduce problems involving sleep, fatigue, weight, stress, and so much more. With an emphasis on holistic health, the focus includes all areas of the client’s life that can support overall health—from diet to career to exercise—taking into account the client’s individual challenges.

By helping clients make manageable behavioral changes that can be maintained over time, a health coach empowers people to successfully take responsibility for their own health and feel their best.

Self Care for Health Coaches and Their Clients

One addition to the daily schedule of any coach or client that is measurably effective in creating a holistic improvement in health is the Transcendental Meditation program. The TM technique helps fulfill the goal of health coaching by reducing imbalances in mental, physical and emotional health in one stroke.

Among a broad range of benefits, this simple effortless procedure impacts all aspects of life from heart health to memory to relationship harmony. As a powerful foundation for improved wellness, TM reduces stress, fatigue and anxiety while increasing inner happiness, self-esteem, and awareness. More than 435 research studies on the mechanics and benefits of the Transcendental Meditation program have been published in renowned scientific journals around the world.

A health coach wants to start by securing her own wellness. Then, with the conviction of her own experience, she can be confident in referring her clients to a certified TM teacher.

When I learned the TM technique, I became aware that I had previously seen myself in a box labeled “solar-powered.” For so long, I believed that I needed to draw power from the outside. Thanks to the TM technique, I now know that I am powered from within myself! Transcendental Meditation is the ultimate self-empowerment tool for all health coaches. It increases energy, clarity and well-being. They should take the Transcendental Meditation course for themselves and refer their clients to a certified TM teacher!

In my very first TM meditation, I felt refreshed. I loved it! During the first month, I experienced a huge increase in my energy. My patience became greater. I laughed a lot more. By the time I was meditating for six months, I was happier, more patient, and able to see the big picture sooner and more often. I have more compassion in difficult situations. It seriously feels like a superpower!
