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.
