Wellness coaching is something I've studied for several years now. The concept of wellness finds its way into many conversations with massage and bodywork clients. I'm working towards accreditation in wellness coaching now and part of the process is doing the work. So rather than just chatting with clients about wellness, i'm going to be a bit more "upfront" about being willing to provide coaching services.

Wellness coaching, for both client and practitioner, takes the experiences they've already had in life and uses them in a way that is beneficial. This is reassuring because it says, "You are the expert in your own life. Together, we will find your best approach to wellness."

A wellness coach is someone who works with you to set and achieve some new goals. You talk, I listen, we brainstorm ideas. We agree on a plan of action, then you do the work. A wellness coach is that... a coach... an advocate, a resource, an encourager. A wellness coach is not: a miracle worker, a therapist, a confessor or a fortune-teller.

Every wellness coach has their own strengths. My background in alternative healing gives me lots of resources in natural health and fitness. Personal experience in meditative practices, in art and in basic nutrition have been very useful too. Want to learn more?
