Is Health Coaching for Me?

Health coaching is a rapidly growing field in the healthcare industry. You may have heard of it and you might be wondering “is health coaching for me”?

A Health coach can help you improve your health and prevent or manage chronic disease. In some cases, you may even be able to reverse chronic health conditions.

Health coaches can work in conjunction with your primary care provider or specialist. They are increasingly available to patients via private practice or imbedded within a medical practice.

Chances are, if you are reading this, then health coaching is for you!

Health coaching is for anyone that is contemplating making healthy changes in their lives. Typically, people who reach out to a health coach know that they want or need to make some changes, in order to be their healthiest. They may have struggled with change in the past or feel overwhelmed by the idea of change.

Either way, they need a little extra support with accountability, motivation, information, resources, and creating a structured and sustainable plan.

Do any of these sound like you?

• I have a chronic medical condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or an autoimmune disease.

• I am stuck and struggling with sleep or stress management, weight management, or work/life balance.

• I struggle to find balance in my life or to incorporate routine self-care into my daily lifestyle.

• I am overburdened and over-busy, putting everything and everyone in my life ahead of my own health and self-care, to the point of suffering health issues (or putting myself at risk for developing health issues).

• I am a caregiver and have put myself on the back burner.  I want to regain control of my overall wellness and prevent or minimize my own health decline, so I am in my best health possible, to care for my loved one.

• I am a healthcare worker. I am burned-out, exhausted, and developing health issues.  I am concerned about my future health.  I want a better work-life balance and to feel like me again!

• I am motivated to make a positive change and improve my overall wellness.  I know what I need to do, but need the structure, accountability, and expert support of a coach to get there.
