Is it the same as being a Wellness Coach and if so, why would I need one?
This is a great question - and YES, it is along the same lines. There are many reasons why someone will need this type of coaching and having a Wellness Coaching background, this is where I found the need to incorporate a Life Balance approach to my coaching. Hiring a Coach and making this decision is going to be a personal one. It will depend on the individual style of coaching and most importantly, the chemistry you develop with the coach from the get go. Having a coach is like a partnership. It's having someone who's "got your back" by supporting you, holding you accountable and helping you to start a plan, overcome obstacles and celebrate your successes.

Coaching is a journey of self discovery and is probably one of the best decision you will ever make as you slowly discover that you can achieve optimum health and happiness...from the inside out!
How does it work?
First there is an initial meeting with you and your coach that usually lasts 30-60 minutes. It could be in person or over the phone. During this session, your coach will discuss what you want to accomplish by asking various questions to define your goals and spot the challenges that could be standing in your way. He/She will also outline the steps needed to achieving your goals and provide you with "homework" - so to speak. Depending on the goal, you may be given some specific things to consider for the next meeting to help you work towards your goal, which may require you to keep a journal or a list of definitive 'action' plans about what you wish to accomplish.
Throughout your coaching, I will offer you guidance and support in keeping on track and accountable for achieving your goals. Coaching may last anywhere from three months to a year, depending on how the sessions are structured. Coaching sessions can be done via telephone, skype, zoom or in person. The fees will vary, depending on each client's goals. Click here to view my coaching packages.
What else should I know about Coaching?
Wellness (Life Balance, Health, Mindfulness) coaching has been defined as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
Coaching addresses the whole person, not just the different elements of fitness training. Coaching gets under the surface of workout and nutrition plans to discover why a client is unhealthy, what behaviours led to the problem, what daily life obstacles are in the way and how the client can make lasting behavioural changes. Your coach creates awareness by asking questions, backing a variety of strategies and options and supporting action.
Think of coaching as a way to build on a foundation. Your programming and approach (framing) may be top-notch, but without exploring the underlying factors and challenges of daily life (ie managing time, creating healthy boundaries, defining needs and goals, learning accountability, making commitments, delaying gratification and identifying obstacles and solutions) an individual will not be able to create a strong and lasting foundation of awareness and change. Behaviour change and learning new ways of showing up in life are key factors to success." (Source: International Coaches Federation ICF)
