• Wellness Coaching
  Wellness coaches have many years of health and wellness experience, and have taken the next step in their training to guide the client through the tough process of change. They are trained to challenge the client to become their best by not simply giving the answers, but by asking the right questions at the right time to empower the client to find the answers for themselves, increasing their self-efficacy that they can sustain healthy lifelong behaviors with or without the assistance of a coach.  Wellness coaching can last as little as 3 months to as long as many years, depending on the amount of change and confidence of the client.  Sessions are held in a one-on-one format, can be started at any time, and are held either in person or via telephone.   Behaviors addressed include nutrition, fitness, weight management, smoking cessation, stress management, and general issues that are affecting the client's health.  Cost varies depending the client’s needs.
