A Health Coach is a whole-health professional and expert in behaviour change, partnering with patients/clients who want to make sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their whole-health and wellness.
A Health Coach understands that each individual is unique and takes a holistic lens to consider a wide variety of lifestyle factors which can either support or undermine health. For example: whether we have purpose and meaning in our lives; what, when and how we eat: whether and how we move, sleep, rest and play; how we manage stress; the impact of our relationships and social connections; and not least, the nature and quality of the environment in which we live.
A Health Coach enables and empowers a client to respond and adapt positively to challenges to their health environment, supporting them to develop the confidence to make conscious, sustainable lifestyle choices and pursue activities that supports that individual’s continuum to achieve their whole-health potential.
A Health Coach understands and respects that each client is an expert on their own life and remains non-judgemental in supporting, educating and motivating them to find simple, sustainable ways to break through resistance and overcome self-sabotage in their journey to whole-health. ~ UK Health Coaches Association
