What is Health Coaching?
Health coaching is the use of skillful, evidence-based, client-led conversation to answer the following questions:
​
What do you want?
​
Why do you want it?
​
How will you get there?
What's special about health coaching?
​​​
Anyone can give or take advice. Executing on advice is an entirely different story. Health coaching is the missing link.
​​
A certified health coach is trained in asking the right questions at the right time to evoke a client's own knowledge of how they will accomplish their desired goals- a.k.a. "evoke and stoke, not sell and tell".
​
A coach ensures goals align with one's unique strengths and values, and are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound).​​​​​
Why self-care?
​
Almost any goal could fall under "health-related" since, one could argue, the mere act of achieving (or not achieving) any goal effects how you feel, and how you feel effects your health.
​
Self-care narrows the category to the specific, daily habits we choose to engage in to intentionally advance our health (see below).
​
Information and advice on these habits has become ubiquitous- which can be a double-edged sword. We're constantly reminded of what to do, but not how we personally can get it done.
