How Does a Health Coach Support My Wellness Journey?

A health coach is an invaluable partner in your personal wellness journey. They provide guidance, support, and expertise to help you achieve your health goals effectively. Here are some ways in which a health coach can assist you on your wellness journey:

  • Tailored Guidance

    A health coach takes the time to understand your unique needs, preferences, and goals. They use this information to create a personalized plan tailored specifically to you. This ensures that you receive guidance that is relevant and achievable, maximizing your chances of success.

  • Expert Knowledge

    Health coaches possess extensive knowledge of nutrition, exercise, and overall wellness. They stay up-to-date with the latest research and evidence-based practices. This expertise allows them to provide accurate information and answer your questions comprehensively, helping you make informed choices for your well-being.

  • Accountability

    Accountability is crucial when working towards wellness goals. A health coach serves as your accountability partner, keeping you on track and motivated. They provide regular check-ins, monitor your progress, and offer support through any challenges you may face. This accountability helps you stay consistent and committed to your health journey.

  • Lifestyle Integration

    A health coach understands that wellness is not solely about nutrition and exercise, but also about finding balance in various aspects of life. They help you integrate healthy behaviors into your daily routine, considering factors like stress management, sleep, relationships, and work-life balance. This holistic approach fosters sustainable changes that support long-term wellbeing.

  • Overcoming Barriers

    Making positive changes can involve overcoming various barriers, such as lack of motivation, time constraints, or conflicting information. A health coach acts as a problem-solver, helping you navigate and overcome these obstacles. They provide strategies to optimize your success and empower you to overcome challenges with confidence.

  • Sustainable Habits

    Quick-fix solutions rarely lead to lasting change. A health coach focuses on helping you develop sustainable habits that support your wellness for the long run. They assist you in setting realistic goals and breaking them into manageable steps, promoting gradual progression towards your desired outcome.

  • Emotional Support

    Wellness journeys can bring about emotional challenges and mindset shifts. A health coach offers emotional support, helping you build a positive relationship with yourself and your body. They help you develop a healthy mindset, overcome self-limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-compassion, enabling you to maintain a resilient and positive outlook throughout your wellness journey.

  • Valuable Partner

    A health coach provides personalized guidance, expert knowledge, accountability, and emotional support to help you navigate your wellness journey successfully. They empower you to make sustainable changes, overcome obstacles, and achieve your health goals. By working with a health coach, you gain a valuable partner who is committed to your well-being and guides you towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.

What Clients are saying…

  • I enjoyed the accountability

    I enjoyed the accountability and the consistency of meeting with someone to go over my goals and have weekly check-ins. When you're trying something new, its easier and more realistic when you're not doing it alone. Deslie is friendly and easy to talk to. She is great at listening to your needs and coming up with a plan for you to accomplish your goals. I enjoyed chatting with someone who understood my needs and made the experience enjoyable.

    Deslie offered me resources and ideas when I needed assistance and always reassured me that she would be available if I needed help. Since working with her, I have worked at prioritizing a routine where I am able to decompress and set aside the To Do list so that I can fill my cup and be more present for others that need me.

FAQs

How can a wellness coach help me?

Wellness coaching is a confidential and supportive partnership between you and the health coach. It effectively motivates and encourages behavior change to help you meet your health and wellness vision and goals. If it has to do with making fitness and nutrition realistic and sustainable in your busy life, then a Health Coach can help!

So many people fall into specific diet fads, attempt crash diets, and engage in health behaviors that can do more harm than good to a body.

A Health Coach is there to help you wade through all the information coming out everyday on different health benefits of particular foods and rules for movement. Instead of using a crash diet, or eating fad, a Health Coach works together with a client to create habits that are sustainable and realistic to your busy lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed and to actually reach your health goals once and for all.

What aspects of my life can I address with my coach?

Eating habits/nutrition, health maintenance, physical activity, sleep and relaxation, stress and weight management, relationships, spiritual practices, and mindset are all areas that you can discuss with a health coach. It’s your choice as to what you want to focus on to improve your well-being.

How many visits will I need with my health coach?

There’s no set number of visits; however, meeting with your health coach on a regular basis will guide you along your journey to wellness. Studies have demonstrated that having regular weekly sessions with a health coach at the beginning of a wellness journey increases the chances of successfully establishing and maintaining healthy habits and routines aligned with the client's wellness goals.

How will health coaching bring lasting change?

Health coaching guides you in charting your path toward wellness and helps you take a series of small, doable steps that become long-lasting, meaningful and powerful changes. Rather than getting a prescribed diet or fitness plan, you are getting individualized strategies that focus on your specific needs.

Health Coaches are trained in a number of different areas related to health such as nutrition guidelines and research, behavior change patterns, and physical activity to give you a well-rounded way to make positive, lasting changes to your lifestyle.

What is Group Coaching & how can it help me?

Group Coaching provides a sense of community where a group of like minded individuals with similar goals, join a weekly call to make commitments toward their goals. Members feel a greater sense of responsibility to follow through and also feel less alone and are often open to learning from other clients' experiences.

What is the difference between a Health Coach, Personal Trainer, and Life Coach?

While a Health Coach is trained in different aspects of health like nutrition protocols, fitness, and mindset techniques, a Personal Trainer is predominately trained in body mechanics and fitness only.

A Life Coach is more of a generalist in your overall life and career goals with a limited focus and knowledge of nutrition, fitness, and health. If your focus is on health, then a Health Coach is the route you want to go.

What training do health coaches receive?

There are many health coach trainings available, however, Deslie has studied at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, and graduated from the Holistic Health and Wellness program with a concentration in Nutrition, an approved coaching and education program by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). Graduates from this programs qualify to apply for the NBHWC National Board Certification Examination. Deslie has earned the designation, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).

What is the future of Health and wellness Coaching?

In 2019, the American Medical Association (AMA) created Category III Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for health and well-being coaching that are effective January 1, 2020. Although Category III CPT codes are not subject to health insurance reimbursement yet, the AMA noted that only health professionals certified by the NBHWC or the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. (NCHEC) will qualify as a health insurance reimbursement when it does become available as these certifications establishes professional standards for health coaching and measures the competencies and skills that health coaches must acquire.
