What is Integrative Health Coaching?

Wheel of Health Health coaching a process in which a client partners with an integrative health coach to identify areas to make lasting behavior changes to promote overall health and wellbeing. The process bridges the gap between medical recommendations and the challenges one has with implementing those changes on their own.

How Does Health Coaching Work?

Time is taken between the client and coach to listen to concerns, identify areas for change with the coach guiding the process with powerful questions.

We use the Duke Integrative Medicine Wheel of Health in order to facilitate personal inquiry, identify areas where one may want to make changes.

Coaching provides a structured environment where the client feels safe and supported by the coach to explore obstacles to change, set goals and devise action steps to meeting those goals.

The coach provides additional resources for making healthy behavior changes.

What do the first few sessions of Health Coaching look like?

We will speak by phone for 20-30 min to your needs and goals along with explaining the coaching process.
Before our first full session, you would fill out a questionnaire exploring your present assessment of the 7 key areas of health and what your goals are for each area.
During the first session, we will explore the key areas, discuss anything that surprised you and what areas you feel strong about and why. This exploration begins to explore your values, strengths and possible areas to begin making actions steps toward goals.
Subsequent sessions work off the previous sessions, exploring action step success, possible hiccups, and ways to continue to move forward.
