make your best hopes your reality
Why Choose a Wellness Coach?
People engage with a wellness coach to seek guidance and support in their efforts to build and maintain a healthy and meaningful lifestyle, face challenges with confidence, and realize their own potential for transformational growth. Wellness coaching is focused on helping people master the art of behavior change so they can live fulfilled and happy in all areas of wellness: physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, behavioral, environmental, occupational, and financial. A wellness coach can help you clearly define your desired future in any one or all of these areas—to really see where you want to be, how you want to be, and what skills, strengths, and resources you already have available to you. This is the pathway to developing action-oriented solutions that fit your needs and help you make your desired outcome your reality.
“Expect to get a healthy dose of hope delt your way.”
Why Choose solution-focused coaching?
Solution-focused coaching is built on a solution-building framework. While your current situation, problem, or issue is not ignored, we will focus on how you want this situation, problem, or issue to be different or better. During our sessions, I will evoke your thoughts, ideas, and attitudes toward change and help you clearly articulate what you value. I’ll ask questions designed to help activate your imagination about possibilities and options that could drive you toward reaching your desired future. You are the expert on you, so we will draw on your strengths, skills, and resources to build a plan of actionable change. You are always in the driver’s seat. I am here to help you navigate.
Example areas for which wellness coaching clients seek guidance:
Habits you want to build or change to promote healthier behaviors.
Ways to stay motivated when things get hard or when you're just not 100 percent in but know you need to get it done.
Skills you want to build that will help you make more informed decisions and choices that make your life better, more satisfying, and more positive right now and for the long term.
Strategies you want to brainstorm, explore, and implement that will help you make it through a tough day with less stress or help you make the transformational change you’ve desired for some time.
Hurdles or obstacles you want to troubleshoot that have kept you from making workable and sustainable changes in the past.
what does a coaching session look like?
Great question! Well, it starts with a question: What are your best hopes from our conversation together? We start with where you want to be and your desired future. What do you want your life to look like when the change has taken place? If you can’t put your finger on that yet, that’s OK. If you come in with notes, charts, or bullet points, that’s OK too! The starting point of every visit we have together is to engage in open conversation about where you want to be and how you can start to take action, even just the tiniest of actions, to get there.
what a coaching session is not.
While I AM a Certified Wellness Coach and Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Coach, I am NOT a licensed mental health counselor, licensed therapist, or licensed medical professional. I cannot and will not diagnose or treat mental or physical illness, disease, or disfunction. If at any time I believe you are in need of this type of assistance, I will tell you and will do my best to assist you in finding it.
