Wellness Coaching is a one-on-one collaborative conversation where a coach will aid you in achieving your health and wellness goals.

The job of the coach is not to treat you, but to be your ally and your resource although they may refer to health-related services if appropriate.

This growth-promoting relationship elicits motivation, increases the capacity to change, and facilitates a change process through visioning, goal setting, and accountability.
