What is a health and wellbeing coach?

Believe it or not, this is an actual role!

As a health and wellbeing coach, I work with individuals or groups to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. My role is to provide guidance, support, and education empowering you to be able to make positive changes to your lifestyle, habits, and overall well-being.

It’s a collaboration. Yes a collaboration. Which involves working with you to identify health goals, create action plans, and develop strategies to overcome your individual obstacles. This may involve addressing different aspects of your overall wellbeing, including taking a look at your physical activity, how your nutrition is doing, your current strategies for managing stress, weight management, you sleep schedule, and overall lifestyle choices.

Incorporating elements of behaviour change theory, motivational interviewing, goal setting, accountability and evidence based practices to help with making these lifestyle changes sustainable.

While health and wellness coaches are generally not licensed healthcare professionals, I just so happen to be!
