Is It Right For Me?

Integrative health coaching works for clients ready to make behavior or lifestyle choices that will improve their health. Clients who are committed to success in adapting new strategies for stress management, nutrition or a movement program will find coaching very helpful in formulating a roadmap for change. In addition, clients who are in a health crisis, major life transition or struggling with a chronic illness may use coaching to explore self care, interior balance and self management as additional healing strategies.

Coaching has been useful for clients in transition such as relocating, contemplating a new career or business, divorce, adjusting to a change in health or recovery from a life threatening illness.

How It Works

Coaching starts with one initial long session in which your desired states in several areas of a your life are evaluated including: exercise movement rest, nutrition, mind body connection, relationships and communication, personal and professional development, physical environment, spirituality. Powerful questions are asked about one’s personal vision for optimal health.

Follow up coaching focuses on areas that have been identified for an upgrade, change or improvement as part of your personal vision. With coaching, achievable action steps and a monitoring system are implemented to measure progress. Coaching helps you find and identify the answers deep within yourself.

Your coach will help you stay true to your own vision, values and goals as you move forward on to path to optimal health with your own personalized health plan.

70% of aging processes are driven by lifestyle choices

"We can change the culture of wellness in America. Health coaches can be a tier of health care providers that can provide the infrastructure for people to make it easy to do the right thing."

~Mehmet Oz M.D., Professor of Surgery at Columbia University, Director of Integrative Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital and host of the Dr. Oz show

"A health coach is going to work directly with a patient to modify their lifestyle choices...

... which we all know are the root of the majority of all causes of death, disease and health care costs around the work. A health coach works towards a patient's strengths to help them modify and make small behavior changes that they can implement immediately. They look at what works now and how to improve your behavior to change your health."

~Dr. Edward Phillips, Director and Founder of Harvard University's Institute for Lifestyle Medicine
