What is a Health Coach?

​

Health coaches focus on health and wellness with their clients. They partner throughout their clients’ journeys – journeys that consist of ongoing practice and feedback. Health Coaches assist clients in reaching their full potential by raising awareness, making connections, identifying patterns, shifting limiting beliefs, using a growth mindset, and offering strengths-based support.

 

What is the role of a Health Coach?

​

• To discuss and encourage healthy lifestyle changes including basic nutrition information

• Support and empower clients in identifying needs and working towards personal goals

• Providing support around plans prescribed by a medical provider

• Providing referrals for other professionals when outside scope of practice

• Offer sustainable wellness strategies that increase overall quality of life long-term.

• Meet clients where they are. They support client-led goals and habit changes.

• Take a more preventive approach. They help clients make connections between issues and obstacles.

 

What is outside the scope of practice for a Health Coach which will need referral?

As a Health Coach, I do not:

​

• Prescribe, diagnose, treat, cure or give medical advice

• Provide specific meal plans

• Provide counseling and mental health services

 

What I offer as your Health Coach?

​

I am your supportive cheerleader that will partner alongside you by providing guidance, encouragement and holding you accountable to your health and wellness goals and vision.

​

I will encourage your bio-individuality: The idea that everyone has different needs. Just as we are all unique in mind, body, and spirit – we are also unique in the things that support our individual health and happiness.

​

I will support, guide, and empower you with tapping into your own inner strength, knowledge, self-awareness and intuition- the idea that you know yourself best and what you need.
