Wellness Coaching

Participants will meet with a Wellness Coach at least 1x per month throughout the program.  Wellness coaches are trained to help clients develop & implement personal wellness plansThe process of wellness coaching progresses through several stages:

  1. You provide background information through a wellness assessment so that you and your coach are well-informed on the key issues, including medical considerations.
  2. During the first 30-60 minute coaching session, you identify your priorities and develop a personal wellness plan including a wellness vision, three month goals and the first steps.
  3. In subsequent 30-40 minute coaching sessions, each week, bi-week, or month, you and your coach review the progress toward your vision and goals, explore and resolve the most pressing issues, learn something new, and then agree on a set of goals for the following week. You will enjoy plenty of ah-ah insights along the way.
  4. By the end of three months, you should reach more than 70% of your three-month goals and feel energized and confident to embark on new areas with or without your coach.
