What is Wellness Coaching?
Health and well-being are impacted by multiple interconnected dimensions – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual to name a few. Wellness Coaching will help support you in discovering ways to successfully implement healthy, sustainable lifestyle behaviors across these various dimensions. The coaching relationship is a partnership that focuses on the whole person, helping you develop and realize your optimal health vision through inquiry, personal discovery, and accountability.

Scope of Practice
Wellness coaches do not provide medical services in that they do not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any medical or mental health disease, condition, illness or ailment. The coach does not provide psychological therapeutic interventions. The coach is a support and guide, but the agenda, goals, methods, and pace are up to you. Coaches may provide expert guidance in areas in which they have received such training, and may provide education in areas of expertise.
