Three Reasons to Hire a Health Coach

“The First Wealth is Health”, Ralph Waldo Emerson.

My translation - a healthy body, mind and soul gives you the strength and energy that help you achieve your best self in every aspect of your life. Think of anyone you admire or respect in terms of their accomplishments, health, or career. I would bet that they did not get there alone. All great athletes have a coach, or two! Your favorite teacher has a mentor. All best-selling authors have editors. Great students have experienced tutors. Why a health coach? Fundamentally, we are “change agents”. We are your personal health cheerleader. We are certified professionals that are experts on human behavior, motivation, and health (nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle). We focus on building confidence and self-awareness by creating healthy, sustainable habits through the art of asking powerful questions. Here are three reasons to hire a health coach.

1) You may be confused or intimated on where to start. There is so much information out there and you’re not sure what to believe. You’re hiring years of training and experience. A health coach will help you address your most trying health issues, while addressing other areas of your life that feed and nourish you.

2) A health coach is a motivator and personal development coach. You will be making the best investment in yourself by hiring a health coach if you truly believe in personal development as the best pathway to a quality life. We hold you accountable to your intentions and encourage you when you’re not having such a good day. We create and oversee strategies that help you achieve your goals!

3) A health coach is invested in your total wellness, not just weight loss, for example. The food on your plate is just a small portion of health. We are the go-to person in terms of what’s on your plate as well as what’s not on your plate – spirituality, career, relationships, home environment, etc. We provide an integrative wellness approach that will include all accepts of your life – from head-to-toe.

When your health is a problem, you think of little else; when it’s not a problem, you don’t think much about it. Do you struggle with yo-yo dieting or have an all or nothing mentality towards food? Are you tired or cranky before you even start your day? Have you started a workout program too quickly only to get injured then stop? Or perhaps your life is not in balance between work, sleep, family, and “you” time? Hire a health coach before your health becomes a problem. A health coach will give you the tools and processes needed to make and maintain your positive results.
