What is a
health coach?
The American Medical Association (AMA) defines a coach as a non-physician health care professional certified by NBHWC or NCHEC.
The AMA also states " Well-trained and certified health and wellness coaches—with expertise in patient-empowering communication and behavior change—engage patients to develop and implement a personal vision and plan for optimal health. With the coach's support, patients cultivate the internal motivation, confidence, and resources needed to start and sustain behaviors shown to prevent or treat chronic disease and improve health and well-being"

Can you relate?

Do you "know" what change you need to make in life, but are stuck on how to get there?

Did your health care provider tell you that you need a specific outcome, for example, lose 20 pounds, lower your cholesterol through diet and exercise, or lower your stress level, get your diabetes under tight control, which left you overwhelmed with no road map to achieve it?
-
Do you feel disorganized with too many responsibilities and crave balance?
-
Do you feel confused with all the nutrition facts and need to learn what is best for your body?
