While most know what is good for them, it is often difficult to make the changes needed by yourself. A health coach has the individualize system and is the support needed for lasting and sustainable change. But most importantly a health coach is your accountability partner.
A health coaches’ focus is on setting and achieving the health goals you have set for yourself not what anyone else has set for you. And because these are your goals you are more than likely to stick to your plan with their assistance and accountability.
A health coach looks at the whole person taking into consideration everything that is going on in your life. Although many times the focus can be placed on the foods we eat because it is the constant in everyone’s life, and because of the importance on how you are fueling your body therefore how you feel.
Other areas of focus will include stress management, fitness goals or lack thereof, and enhancing your overall lifestyle. It is the “whole approach” of body, mind and spirit. When was the last time someone took time that was needed to truly hear what you need? That’s where a health coach steps in.
