What is wellness coaching?

How does a Wellness Coach help?

Coaching is about having an accountability partner who will support and encourage you even when you feel ready to quit. A coach provides support and inspiration to continue moving forward, even if you are dealing with a health-related issue.

No matter what health conditions or ailments you may have, a health coach encourages clients to recognize that living a thriving life is about making healthy choices that positively impact their mental, physical, and emotional health.

What is life coaching?

 

A Life Coach addresses specific personal goals, career ambitions, and relationships desires. By focusing on the present moment, discovering what your obstacles or challenges might be, and helping choose a course of action to make life be what they want it to be.

A Life Coach provides support and accountability to help their client rediscover their drive and potential; therefore, improving their careers, relationships, and lives. They help clients to recognize their skills, dreams and refocus their life's goals to move past challenges that stand in the way of those goals.

What should I look for in a Life or Wellness Coach?

​

Since you will be spending a lot of one on one time with a coach it is important to find a good match. You should be comfortable sharing your life's vision with her/him and you should feel strongly that they will help you achieve that vision.

In addition, look for a professionally trained coach with certification from ICF (International Coach Federation )or ICHWC (International Consortium for Health and Wellness Coaching). Coaches who studied in International Coach Federation approved programs get training and mentoring. The ICF also sets professional standards for coaches but the industry doesn’t yet have regulations. That means anyone can call him or herself a life/wellness coach without certification, real training or experience.

**Before you sign on for any coaching sessions, interview a few potential life or wellness coaches. Ask how they usually work with clients. A life or wellness coach is usually not a licensed healthcare professional, and their services probably won’t be covered by health insurance.

​

In addition, a wellness coach is not necessarily a nutritionist, dietitian, or personal trainer. While they may be knowledgeable in these areas, they might not be qualified to offer you nutritional or fitness advice. A coach is also different from a psychotherapist, who is a mental health care professional with training in medicine, psychology, nursing, or social work. If you think that depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems may be getting in the way of realizing your goals, then you may want to talk with a licensed mental health professional before you hire a coach.

​

How do I work with a Coach?

​

First, you'll sit down with your life coach or wellness coach over the phone or in person. The sessions will range from 15 minutes to an hour. During that time you'll talk about what you want to accomplish.

Through the questions your coach asks, together you'll define your goals and the challenges that could stand in your way. Then you'll outline the steps you'll need to take to achieve those goals.
