Any concern that gets in the way of taking care of your health is the perfect subject with which to begin coaching. Therefore, any topic that you think will contribute to your optimal health is an appropriate topic for Integrative Health Coaching.
Integrative Health Coaching is not just about your physical well-being; it is also about you as a whole person: your values, goals, work, balance, fulfillment and life purpose. Through the coaching process, clients typically reach various goals, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. Coaches use reporting, exploring, and consistently committing to positive forward improvement. This proactive working relationship will accelerate your progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice.
Health Coaching is best performed over a period of three to six months on a consistent basis. These meetings can occur in person or over the phone and last between 25-60 minutes.
