WELLNESS COACHING



What is Wellness Coaching?
Wellness Coaching is a form of consulting which focuses on assisting you to reach your goals, to examine how you approach problems and challenges in your life, and to embrace healthy lifestyle behaviors to achieve your optimal performance. A Wellness Coach assists and supports you in creating and sustaining physical and emotional wellness as you move through life.

The Coaching Experience
Coaching helps achieve results and sustain life-changing behaviors. The coaching experience takes a holistic view of a person's life with an emphasis toward producing actions that uncover the uniqueness of each person. Your coach helps you take specific actions that facilitate maximum growth, success and satisfaction. Between coaching sessions you take agreed upon steps in the fulfillment of your goals with a renewed sense of accomplishment. Each coaching experience is designed to accommodate your personal values, goals and motivations.

Wellness Coaching assists you in:
Unlike therapy, which addresses past issues and situations, coaching focuses on the present with a look toward the future and what you want to accomplish to reduce stress, sustain a healthy lifestyle, and achieve success.

Time & Frequency of Coaching Sessions
Wellness coaching can take place telephonically or in person, based upon your schedule. Coaching sessions are in increments of 30 and 45 minutes. Each session is tailored to your individual needs and the pace with which you are comfortable.

Coaching sessions can be scheduled weekly, biweekly or once a month. A personalized, customized program can be designed to meet your specific lifestyle needs. Our wellness coaching system conveniently allows you to fit the coaching around your schedule and desire for advancement.
