“Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.” ~ Bill Gates

 

You’ve heard all-of-the buzz about life coaches and professional coaches, but what is coaching and what do health & wellness coaches actually do? A health & wellness coach is an expert in the process of health behavior change.  Coaching, in its simplest form is a purposeful conversation. As coaches we listen and then we encourage you to explore your way to success. We work in partnership with you to find  your motivators, enhance personal accountability, set specific goals and take action to achieve and sustain lifelong health-supporting behaviors. Many are surprised at how the power of having someone’s undivided attention and an empathetic ear, can help to navigate a challenge, uncover new approaches or serve as a reminder of just how capable and awesome you really are.

Coaching is about more than breaking a sweat or creating a meal plan. Coaching is about being heard, finally taking ownership of your dreams and having a partner to help you move boldly toward their realization.

Often when the number of changes to be made feels overwhelming or uncertain, coaching is a good place to start. It allows you to be in the drivers seat and decide what’s most important overall and what changes are most appropriate right now. We believe in a trial and learn process, rather than a trial and error process.

Just as personal training is designed to give you the support and expertise you need to help you reach specific fitness goals, coaching is designed to give you the support and encouragement you need to explore and stay on track as you navigate your wellness related goals. These goals may include stress management, eating habits, sleep patterns, being more active, trying something new and other habits that influence you as a well being. With coaching, you set the pace and you choose the goals. YOU are the expert on YOU.
