What is the difference between a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach and a Life coach?
- All types of coaches empower and support individuals seeking to enhance their well-being through self-directed lasting changes that align with their values.
- Coaching is client-centered and client-directed. The role of the coach is that of a partner and facilitator. Clients are empowered to use their own insight, personal strengths, and resources to set goals, commit to action steps, and establish accountability.
- What makes health & wellness coaches unique is that their clients are seeking support for making behavior changes specifically to improve their health and wellness. Concerns about their health are their entry point for seeking out a coach. However, all aspects of well-being affect health and wellness, so those changes may be spiritual, emotional, relational, work-related, in addition to changes in nutrition and physical exercise.
