HEALTH COACHING

Long lasting behaviour change can only occur when driven by our own intrinsic, internal motivators.
YOU are in control, and need to be the one invested in your own health in order to achieve your goals - and make them last.
​
I leverage the Coach Approach: uncovering your motivation, leveraging your innate strengths, and empowering YOU to own the process, providing support and encouragement along the way.
​
My approach to coaching is a collaborative, client-led process. Together, we will come up with realistic plans to reach your goals and then maintain that success over time.
​​
Health coaches are guides who help facilitate change, using positive psychology tools like motivational interviewing and character strengths to overcome the Intention-Behavior Gap—the gap between your goal and the day-to-day actions and habits that move you closer to that goal.
Why Work With a Health Coach?
When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, health coaches can be the difference between failure and long-lasting success. Health Coaches make positive change accessible in these key ways:
01
Personalized Guidance:
Health coaches use a client-centered approach, working collaboratively with clients to ensure they actively participate in setting their health goals, making decisions, and engaging in the learning process—which enhances the likelihood of successful behavior change.
03
Accountability:
Clients are encouraged to monitor their progress and stay committed to their health objectives, fostering a sense of responsibility for their well-being.
05
Holistic Approach:
Health coaching often takes a holistic approach, addressing various aspects of well-being, including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and interpersonal relationships.
07
Preventative Health Measures:
Health coaching emphasizes preventive health measures, helping individuals identify and address potential health risks before they escalate. This proactive approach contributes to long-term health maintenance.
02
Behavior Change Support:
Health coaches specialize in behavior change strategies, helping clients overcome obstacles and adopt healthier habits in accessible, realistic ways. This support is crucial for individuals aiming to make lifestyle changes they’ll actually stick with, long-term.
04
Motivation & Empowerment:
Health coaches serve as motivators, empowering clients to take charge of their health. They help individuals tap into their internal strengths and external resources, fostering a sense of self-efficacy and motivation.
Improved Well-being:
06
Individuals working with health coaches often report improvements in overall well-being. This can include enhanced energy levels, better resiliency against stress, improved mood, and a greater sense of life satisfaction.
