What is a Health Coach?
I often find that when I tell someone that I’m a Health Coach, they have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about.
As defined by The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a health coach is “a wellness authority and supportive mentor who motivates individuals to cultivate positive health choices. Health Coaches educate and support clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behavior adjustments.”
To put it simply, Health Coaches are guides in the fields of nutrition, wellness, bio-individuality and mentoring who are trained in various dietary theories and lifestyle coaching techniques to help you discover exactly what will bring you success, and what is holding you back. The focus is not only on your nutrition, but also your lifestyle, thus maximizing the results of each.
Everyone is unique and different.
That’s why no one diet or lifestyle works for everyone, or only works for a small amount of time. Have you ever been given a list of “eat this, not that?” Have you found that making drastic changes at once is unsustainable and doesn’t work for you long-term? We help you implement small adjustments, step by step, at a pace that’s comfortable for you so you can meet your health goals sustainably. We work with you to help you discover your bio-individuality. There is something that works for you – the key is to identify and implement it.
Whether your goal is to reach your optimal weight, increase energy or just become healthier, we take the time to listen to your concerns, help you discover where and why you are struggling, and navigate you through the world of contradictory nutritional advice to figure out exactly what works for your body at a particular stage of your life.
