Trained health and wellness coaches can help you achieve greater physical and mental wellbeing through goal setting, accountability, and support—and with an individualized plan that works for you.
What is health and wellness coaching?
Health and wellness coaching is a customized approach to establishing healthy habits. A health coach can help you identify and plan your health goals, and provide support and accountability as you move toward those goals in a way that works best for you.
Health and wellness coaching can help you achieve healthy habits in areas like:
- Sleep
- Regular physical activity
- Eating habits
- Managing and reducing stress
- Work-life balance
- Reducing or quitting smoking
- Overall energy
