Wellness Coaching
Are you struggling to find the time to do all of those "good things" that you know you should do to take care of yourself? If so, maybe Wellness Coaching is right for you.
Our wellness coaching program is led by Sam Hester, a certified wellness coach & personal trainer by The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), as well as a lifestyle & weight management consultant by the American Council on Exercise (ACE). We can help you in achieving your goals in a variety of areas such as weight management, fitness, nutrition, stress and other life issues that affect health and wellness.
Wellness is the mastery of one’s physical and mental wellbeing – weight, fitness, nutrition, stress, health, and the mindset to sustain wellness. Wellness coaching is a new paradigm for helping people become masters of their wellness.
Coaching is an emerging profession that began in about the early ‘90s. It has its roots in applied behavioral science, and the evolution of the field of corporate training to include one-on-one coaching. Behavioral scientists have shown that one-on-one coaching is among the most effective approaches to helping people make and sustain improvements in their lives. The relationship between a coach and client offers a profound level of support, guidance, and encouragement to making changes, without being judgmental. A coach enables change by focusing on a client’s stated agenda including needs, values, vision, and goals, and helping to bring out his/her personal best.
Today, new coaching specialties have emerged that address a variety of areas including leadership, work/life balance, and relationships, and most recently health, fitness, and wellness.
While psychologists and therapists help clients understand how the past is influencing the present, coaches focus on the present and help the client move towards the future. Coaches do not make diagnoses and may recommend that clients seek a psychologist or therapist for treatment, if appropriate.
