Frequently asked questions
What is Health Coaching?
Health coaching is a confidential and supportive partnership between you and your health coach. It effectively motivates and encourages behavior change to help you meet your health and wellness vision and goals.
How does a health coaching visit differ from a nurse or provider visit? Can I only schedule visits with health coaches when I am sick?
In traditional nurse or provider visits, the provider is the expert and may prescribe treatment. In health coaching, you are the expert decision maker for your life; the health coach guides you in setting and reaching your goals. Your overall well-being, whether you are managing a medical condition or not, is the goal of health coaching.
What aspects of my life can I discuss with my coach?
Eating habits/nutrition, finances, health maintenance, life satisfaction, possible reduction of the medications you’re using, physical activity, sleep and relaxation, stress and weight management, relationships, spiritual practices, and mindset are all areas that you can discuss with a health coach. It’s your choice as to what you want to focus on to improve your well-being.
How will health coaching bring lasting change?
Health coaching guides you in charting your path toward wellness and helps you take a series of small, doable steps that become long-lasting, meaningful and powerful changes.
