What is a Health Coach?
For the average American, life can be a crazy-busy whirlwind of obligations, responsibilities and priorities. Amidst all of this craziness, many of us have our physicians telling us we need to make some changes - or else!
We all know that what we really need do is get a little more active and eat a little better, but often these little changes can seem awfully intimidating and difficult to incorporate into our lives.
I am one of a growing group of professionals who are educated and equipped to help you stay on track and achieve an optimal state of wellness. As a health coach I have but one interest in mind: keep you in a state of wellness, or get you there if need be.
According to Anne Helmke at the National Wellness Institute, “Coaching provides a positive connection — a supportive relationship — between the coach and the person who wants to make a change. That connection empowers the person being coached to recognize and draw on his or her own innate ability and resource to make lasting changes for better health and well-being.”
How do we accomplish this? I help you set both short and long term goals, set action plans, monitor progress in goal attainment, and develop strategies to utilize your strengths most effectively.
