Why should I hire a health coach?

 In today’s society chronic disease and diabetes are affecting more people than ever before. Healthy People 2020 addresses both of these conditions recommending the nation adopt healthier lifestyles to reduce the incidence of both conditions. Maybe your doctor has told you you’re overweight, or pre-diabetic, but doesn’t tell you why or how to make changes. You’re left confused and terrified, and you don’t know where to turn. Perhaps you’d like more energy, or to find time and structure in your life to do things for yourself. Health coaches work with individuals to understand their needs and desires and help you gain an understanding your struggles. Health coaches are a complement to your medical care. We offer regular sessions to improve accountability for set goals. We process with you and not for you. We coach with empathy, an understanding of your needs and desires while “being with” and not directing “how”. We work in partnership to achieve your goals through customized and structured plans. Because health coaching is flexible, it is also convenient. Sessions can be done over the phone, via virtual platforms, or in person. If you want to get to the core issues of your ailments and discomforts, in a supportive environment and at your pace, a good investment is in a health coach.
