Changing habits Is difficult and for most people, it is more than one habit that is contributing to poor health. It can seem overwhelming to make changes to improve your health and lifestyle. This is where Health and Wellness coaching comes on.
Health and Wellness Coaching is an innovative and effective way to help Individuals achieve the goals they set for themselves. This is achieved by a process in which you work with a trained professional to evaluate your current lifestyle, habits, and needs. Then create and implement a personalized plan.
A Health Coach is a knowledgeable professional that uses an integrative approach to Health and Wellness, focusing on what matters to you rather than what’s the matter with you. A Health and Wellness Coach will take the time to understand your unique health and lifestyle needs and will support and guide you in choosing an area of focus in which you are ready to make some positive changes in.
Once you have an area of focus, we will work together to bring your Wellness Vision to life. We will set S.M.A.R.T goals, meet to discuss your achievements, set backs and how to overcome challenges preventing you from obtaining your goals. Small incremental changes made over time will help you to become the expert at your own transformation. Over time, these positive habits will become part of a new daily routine, leading to long-term success.

Clear Quartz Discovery Session- We will meet for 75 minutes to discuss some initial questions.

At the conclusion of this appointment, you will decide if you feel ready to take the next step toward making some changes in your life.
Rose Quartz Focus Session- Once you have made the decision to make some changes, we will meet for a 60 minute Focus Session. This is where you will select a focus area, set a long-term goal and action step. We will discuss support systems you have in place as well as possible challenges and how to overcome them. We will continue to follow up as you make changes.
Smokey Quartz Follow-up Session- Once you have chosen an area of focus , we will continue our visits to set goals, action steps and work through challenges. Follow-Up Sessions are 60 minutes.

You may also change your focus area as you start making changes and achieving goals.
