What is wellness coaching?
I use evidence-based, motivational interviewing techniques combined with accountability to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes and reach your wellness goals.
I learned my coaching technique at the Mayo Clinic, which emphasized the importance of positive psychology. This coaching style supports a big-picture, solution-focused mindset that will help you build and sustain motivation. (Burke, M.)
Other benefits of wellness coaching:
Process ambivalence: We’re complicated creatures, after all. It helps to explore the nuances of what we want, why we want it, and what barriers we are facing.
Develop a growth mindset: Powerful force for change. Seeing your potential to grow, change, and thrive.
Identify strengths and resources
Reflect past successes
Explore motivation
Feel supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space
