Coaching is based in the pscyhology of habit change, heavily relying on aspects of positive psychology, motivational interviewing, personal values, and charachter strengths. Health coaching is specfically centered on helping clients address critical areas of health including dietary improvements, stress, sleep, exercise, and smoking cessation. It is client led, without prescriptive advice, with the understanding that the client already knows what to do and has the ability to do it. As a coach, my job is to support your goals, help you understand how to approach them in a way that fits with your lifestyle and values, and provide occasional education, resources, and referrals when necessary. Coaching looks ahead at your big goals and helps you as the client view them as achievable.
