What is Quality-of-Life Wellness Coaching?

Wellness coaching provides an ongoing partnership designed to assist individuals in enhancing their life as they seek to achieve optimal health. Wellness coaching is a supportive talent that more individuals and companies are empowering themselves with to gain a healthy advantage by enhancing performance, boosting morale, and promoting healthier habits. A primary role of a wellness coach is to assess and design personal wellness programs that help participants harness a better quality-of-life. Initial wellness questionnaire enables a coach to craft personalized 'Wellness Improvement Profiles' with specific components to practice. Once a profile is administered a strategic one-on-one relationship begins and participant and coach work to outline a personalized Wellness Improvement Plan. The plan focuses on the development of the Big 4 wellness categories that provide the outline for individual or company goals.

The “Big 4” Leading Wellness Categories:

Wellness Improvement Programs focus on 4 categories that compliment one another:

  • Nutritional Planning - some American’s consume 20 pounds of candy a year, drink 56 gallons of soda a year, and 40 grams of saturated fat a day. The drive thru window has and is continuing to damage America's health!
  • Physical Activity - approximately 65% of Americans engage in no physical activity or exercise, and statistically America  leads the world in obesity.
  • Stress Coping Strategies - dealing with stress lends aid for us in the prevention of chronic conditions, and helps bandage the already estimated 200 million lost working days blamed on stress related issues.
  • Detoxification and Cleansing - cleaning the clogged systems is paramount as it lends aid in the prevention of cancer and other chronic conditions. This is important as cancer creeps closer to becoming the number #1 killer of U.S. citizens.

How does wellness coaching work?

The relationship between a coach and participant begins with an overview of Personal Wellness Improvement Profile. Wellness coach's serve to elevate improvement by focusing on a client's stated needs and immediate concerns (chronic conditions), current habits, long-term vision, and willingness to change. Through thoughtful assessment and inquiry, along with safe, open, and honest dialogue, a coach helps to guide the the client to becoming clearer on where they are, where they need to go, and how to get there. Component implementation regarding nutritional planning, physical activity, stress coping strategies, and detoxification (Big 4) are agreed upon and modified during the coaching relationship. Clear and consistent follow-up after initial profile overview ensures wellness participant continues to practice sound wellness habits on the path to achieving optimal health. 

What role does a wellness coach serve?

There are a number of roles that a competent health and wellness coach fulfills. A wellness coach should be knowledgeable with most general health concerns. However, they are not licensed to prescribe drugs or diagnose medical conditions.

Some of the recognized roles of a wellness coach are:

  • Fundamental educational awareness of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
  • Supply models for mental & physical fitness such as, the Transtheoretical Change Model (TTCM), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutible Laws of Leadership, Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, & the DiSC profile
  • Accountability partner, with confidentiality agreement, who inspires and encourages improvement
  • Communicator with strong listening and character based coaching skills
  • Sounding board, devils advocate, mentor, teacher, and friend
  • Most of all a wellness coach strives to serve as a role model for personal wellness

What will my wellness coach do for me?

First, set up a comprehensive program focusing on the Big 4 that is designed from the personal wellness questionnaire and/or data compiled from additional sources. Additionally:

  • Seek to modify behavioral perceptions regarding sound nutrition and weekly fitness
  • Improve self-management skills
  • Strengthen knowledge in the health and wellness field
  • Help people maintain long term focus and serve as accountability partner along the wellness journey

AND, most importantly a successful wellness coach will provide a stiff challenge!
