Health Coaching

Your own personal wellness consultant, co-strategist, wisdom-miner and health advocate—who couldn’t use one of those?

Are you having trouble setting or meeting your health and wellness goals? Our health coaches can help you figure out where to begin, or give you the tools you need to take your health to the next level.

Clinical studies have shown that success in achieving your health goals increases significantly with meaningful support.

Instead of telling you what you need to do, a health coach will help you find the tools you need within yourself to get you where you want to go and help you develop the skills you need to get there.

Our health coaches are attentive, personable, quick to laugh, and also quick to zero in on where the work is.

“For a long time, I associated living a healthy lifestyle with avoiding things rather than making good choices. The coaching program motivated me to be more proactive about my health by owning my decisions.  For me, it was about incorporating small changes that are sustainable over the long-run, which I’ve been able to maintain with guidance and motivation from my health coach.”
