Everyone has the potential to achieve their best health.
If you’re new to health coaching (or haven’t found success in past experiences), this guide is to help you learn how to actively participate to get the most positive results.
Understanding the Role of a Health Coach
A health & wellness coach is more than a guide – they’re your partner in health. Their role is to offer support, provide resources, and help you tap into your motivation to identify and achieve personal health goals. Your coach considers various aspects of wellness including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, environment, and mental well-being. Below are steps you can take to get the most out of your time with your 1:1 coach.
Set Clear and Personal Goals
If you’re unsure where to start, that’s perfectly okay! Your coach is trained to help you identify areas for improvement and set realistic, achievable goals that are aligned with your values and priorities.
Craft a Plan Together
Health coaching is a collaborative process. You and your coach will develop a plan that’s tailored to your needs and preferences. This personalized approach ensures that the plan is not just effective but also enjoyable (and therefore sustainable) for you.
Honest Communication
The key to a successful partnership with your health coach is open and honest communication. Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Ask questions, express concerns, and provide feedback. This ongoing dialogue ensures that your plan evolves with you.
Regular Progress Check-ins
Frequent check-ins with your coach help you celebrate successes, understand challenges, and refine your approach. They are also great opportunities to reassess goals and strategies. We recommend at least a weekly check-in, yet we will ALWAYS work at the pace you decide is right for you.
Build Trust
Remember, this is a judgment-free zone where you should feel at ease discussing your health and wellness journey. Over time you can develop a trusting and comfortable relationship with your health coach.
Embrace the Process
Patience is the key to success with health coaching. Change is a process that requires time, persistence, and a lot of hard work. Your coach will remind you to celebrate the small wins along the way – they might not seem like much in the moment but over time they add up to big results.
Learning for Long-Term Success
Your coach equips you with the knowledge you need to create new habits that foster long-term well-being. Working with a health coach is an opportunity to learn skills you need to become more self-reliant in maintaining your health.
