What is Health Coaching?

Coaching involves forming a partnership, holding space for the client based on trust, non-judgement, and the utmost positive regard. We use our coaching skills to help clients achieve lasting change by empowering clients to discover their own motivation, inner wisdom, and strength.

The client is their own expert and the coach will not tell you what to do. Instead the coach will ask deep questions and offer reflections to deepen insights, self learning, and challenge stories and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does a health coach tell me what to do?
The short answer is no. A health coach absolutely can share information and make suggestions upon request The most important element to coaching is:
– Helping the client uncover thoughts, beliefs that are keeping them from reaching their goals
– Help them shift their perspective so they can feel good about themselves and move forward
– Help them see their strengths and inner resources
– Asking deep questions that help clarify and explore thinking, behaviors, and values
– Shining a light on something the client cannot see for themselves.

How is coaching different from therapy?
Health coaching and therapy do share some similarities, but there are important distinctions between them. Mental health therapy consists of licensed professionals who diagnose and treat individuals experiencing emotional, mental, psychological issues or distress. Coaching does not focus on the past. The emphasis is on what is possible in the present and looking toward the future. Coaching supports clients in mobilizing internal strengths and external resources, and developing strategies for making sustainable behavior change.

How might coaching help me reach my goals?
Working with a health coach can have a variety of benefits. Some take action that they never thought was possible, or overcome sticking points. Others may see a shift in mindset that helps them take an important next step. Another may discover how to make lasting change that was previously unsuccessful.
