What is health coaching?
Health coaching assists you with developing and realizing your optimal health vision through inquiry, personal discovery and accountability.
Health coaching clients reach goals, improve their health and enhance their quality of life by using reporting, exploring, and a consistent commitment to action to move forward.
Coaching provides an opportunity for you to collaborate with an experienced partner to carve out the kind of optimal health you’ve envisioned.
