I don’t spend a lot of time blogging to promote my services, per say. People in the marketing world are always suggesting that I do so. And I suppose this blog is as good a time to give it a go.
Blogging for me usually happens because something moves me to get up on a soap box, or moves me to share because I know it will help someone.
Sometimes, I just want to dispense advice, and other times I want to share parts of my own story. And still other times I want to tell it like it is, and question the establishment.
We need quite a bit of that from time to time to keep people in the know!
I know there is a lot of information out there in books and blogs to motivate and inspire people to make lots of changes to become well. I certainly don’t knock those modes of learning.
But I do believe that, despite all the other modalities available for learning and healing, people looking to make big or small changes in their life to obtain more consistent wellness could benefit from working with a health coach. It’s a term, I am learning, not many people really know about. Or better yet, people don’t really know what a health coach actually does.
There is so much to be gained, and positive changes garnered from the expertise and support of the right health coach. In fact, obtaining wellness becomes infinitely easier when you work with someone who is “part cheerleader, part tough love coach”.
Especially when that quest is challenging, daunting, and hard.
As a coach, I support and mentor you. I help you create a plan of action, break through blocks, jump over hurdles, and help you see all the strength and ability you have within.
{How am I doing with this self-promoting thing?}
The International Consortium of Health and Wellness Coaches sums up pretty well what a Health Coach is:
Here is the thing: People are unwell and it isn’t something to be shameful of. We are all layered and have varying degrees of damage, life experience, and self knowledge. And a health coach – who can support you, challenge you, and guide you to make changes – is exactly what is needed to get on track, and stay the course.
Health coaches support all kinds of people with all kinds of challenges, including those with health issues for which we typically think we must only see a doctor.
Research suggests that up to 85 percent of chronic disease is caused by diet and lifestyle factors. And the solution for many of the ailments involves making changes to those diet and lifestyle factors.
Making behavior changes like that can be difficult on your own.
That is where health coaching comes in.
That is where it becomes integral to success in healing because you get the much needed support and motivation, and guidance to navigate the rough terrain.
That is where you just may need me.
Doctors and clinicians are smart people. They are also often too busy to provide the intensive level of care you need to implement change. Health coaches are a perfect accompaniment to those traditional and functional practitioners.
And wellness is much more than just food and physical wellness. I know that life can get cluttered and be overwhelming, and I know that plays a huge role in our ability to adopt any kind of healthy lifestyle. Which is why I joined my professional organizing passion and expertise with heath coaching to help you sort it all out, make sense of the chaos and propel you to make the changes you want to make, the changes you need to make.
So whether you have chronic symptoms, an autoimmune diagnosis of which you want to lessen the affects, or feelings of general unwell in your mind and space, with your time and energy, a health coach can help you navigate it all, share some of the burden, create a plan, and then work with you and support you in implementing that plan.
It seems as though it would be too good to be true – that someone would come along on the ride, and often into battle, with you.
But that is what the right coach will do.
That is what I do.
I became a health coach so I could help people feel better – in their space, and in their life. So they could not only live life, but thrive, each day and into old age.
I love to write about this.
I love to dispense advice about the ways to be well.
I love to get on my soap box.
And most of all, I love working with people, coaching and helping them grab hold of their health, so they can live life verri well.
It is definitely something from which I know there are many benefits.
