What is a health and wellness coach
As a health and wellness coach, I work with individuals and groups in a client-centered process to facilitate and empower the client to develop and achieve self-determined goals related to health and wellness. I support clients in mobilizing internal strengths and external resources, and in developing self-management strategies for making sustainable, healthy lifestyle, behavior changes. While I, per se do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide psychological therapeutic interventions, I do provide expert guidance in areas in which they hold active, nationally recognized credentials, and may offer resources from nationally recognized authorities such as those referenced in NBHWC’s healthy lifestyle curriculum. I support my clients in achieving health goals and behavioral change based on their clients’ own goals and consistent with treatment plans as prescribed by individual clients’ professional health care providers. I assist clients to use their insight, personal strengths and resources, goal setting, action steps, and accountability toward healthy lifestyle change.
