How will I work with my Health Coach?

Traditional meetings with a Health Coach are accomplished face to face, though there are scenarios where non-traditional coaching can be successful, as well. Non traditional health coaching consists of telephone or web based solutions, including chat and email. The ideal communication method is ultimately whichever one works best for both the coach and client. You’ll want to select a coach with whom you are very comfortable. There maybe be times you’ll be sharing private information involving special behaviors or unique concerns.

The most important aspect is that you take part in it on your terms. You’ll want to get the most out of your experience and the best way to do so is by taking control yourself.

In order to understand what Wellness Coaching is, let’ s first define Wellness. According to the National Wellness Institute, “ Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices towards, a more successful existence.” Sounds so simple and yet many people are unhealthy despite major advancements in modern medicine.

Do I need a Wellness Coach?

In general, people are stressed beyond their limits both at home and work. Their tendency is to use unhealthful coping mechanisms such as overeating, smoking, and substance abuse to self-medicate. They have grown used to their doctors telling them to lose weight, get more exercise, quit smoking, lessen their alcohol consumption, etc. Most people don’ t tend to take their doctor’ s advice to heart. Most people do not change even though they claim they want to. Change is difficult and opens one up to the possibility of failure. No one likes that. A Wellness Coach champions the client to success and helps them realize there are no failures except not trying.

Many people also lack a mind-body-spirit balance. Very few take time out for themselves amidst a life full of taking care of others. The notion “ if we work harder we’ ll get ahead” seems to prevail over the reality of working smarter (and healthier). A Wellness Coach can teach the client how not to lose themselves among the chaos of everyday life.

A Wellness Coach will work with clients one-on-one or in small groups (live or via telephone) to help them find healthier options in pursuit of their optimal wellness. Having a non-judgmental partner championing clients to their success is invaluable support. The coach will work with clients to help shift their thoughts, feelings and actions from negative to positive.

It takes 21 days to change a habit and 90 days to make it stick so consider working with a Wellness Coach for a minimum of three months at the beginning so as to create lasting lifestyle changes.

In addition a Coach that has specific experience and qualifications in fitness and nutrition can help individuals train and develop their abilities. Equipped with knowledge regarding sports nutrition, muscle building, physical conditioning, and other fitness principles, coaches can help individuals of all ages and athletic disciplines and goals reach their full potential.
