What is Health and Wellness Coaching?

One night Tonya, was out having coffee with a friend.  She told her friend that she was so tired of all the increased anxiety and worry.  Tonya said “all this has prevented me from enjoying the activities that I love to do.  Even sitting in meditation is difficult.”  Her friend knew that she had seen a variety of doctors and chiropractors, and had been feeling down.  So, she asked Tonya, “Have you ever tried talking with a health and wellness coach?  I started seeing one last year and the changes have been more than I could have imagined and I am still working with her today.”  She hesitantly agreed and took the information.  Today, Tonya is feeling more confident overall, increased her activities, upgraded her diet and learned how to manage her anxiety.  All these changes to her life happened from working with a health and wellness coach. 

I am sure that you have heard the words, health and wellness coach floating around in the last several years.  Over the years, it has been an integral part of my healing journey.  But what is a health and wellness coach and how can it help you.  

Studies have shown that using a health and wellness coach can help clients become an advocate for their own health and that a majority of people do not have a daily healthy behavior that prevents dis-ease.  A health and wellness coach; is one who walks besides you to enhance your wellbeing with self directed care, is your personal cheerleader, assist in implementing healthy lifestyle changes, honors, celebrates and supports you during the good and difficult journeys.  

Some of many benefits of using a health and wellness coach, in compliment with your health care team:  it is geared for you, because, no one person is the same.  It helps in the prevention health conditions, management of chronic long term diseases, diet changes and overall wellness.  Coaches assist you with long term and short term goals, from job changes, breaking old habits to increasing overall confidence.  For example, do I leave this job and start my own business? Or maybe, your doctor wants you to lose weight to decrease pain but you do not know where to start? They will be your cheerleader and mentor during your time with them.  Coaching is more affordable, provides better communication, is here to support you and the many benefits you receive, are well worth it.  If it beyond their scope or the client needs professional assistance, they are referred elsewhere for help.
