A Health Coach is a supportive mentor and wellness authority who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Instead of prescribing one diet or way of exercising, Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. Health Coaches understand this and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. Find out how health coaching stacks up against other health and wellness jobs.

NINE WAYS TO MANAGE STRESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

The holiday season is all about traditions ‒ but what if the traditions you grew up with don’t resonate with your current, authentic self? I grew up with an extroverted mother who invited everyone to our family holidays. Although I thought she was the kindest, most hospitable host, I also saw her body pay the toll as she spent weeks preparing for parties! When it came down to it, I never once saw her truly sit down, enjoy her own cooking, or engage with guests. Read More

SunRays

It is now summer! Although this week had a rather rainy start. Since our spring was so dry, it was much needed. We have gone already through an eclipse, and now a full moon. Many have already taken or will be taking vacations soon. This is such a pivotal time to do this. After being basically homebound for a year and a half, many stir crazy families are very much looking forward to going somewhere and even visiting family they have not seen in a long time!

A Story of a Tree & How it teaches Us How to be Healthy & Strong
  

 Recently, one of my sons took me to see a tree. Two of my sons work with Landscaping and Trees which hold great intrigue. My son had found a location near to us of Illinois Largest Tree, an Eastern Cottonwood tree located at Bald Hill Prairie in Oregon Illinois. So, on a very windy warm day we ventured through the path on the prairie, up and down the very hilly landscape until we reached this tree. The deafening wind was so strong it pushed against us as we approached. This path was 100 feet lower in elevation than where we started, I am not sure how many feet away, but it was a bit of a trek.

HOW HEALTH COACHES CAN HELP CLIENTS DITCH THE DIET MENTALITY

Often clients get stuck in the diet mentality – they believe the only way to lose weight is to restrict calories and deprive themselves – because it’s the only approach to weight loss they’ve ever known. So they come to a Health Coach expecting a rule book or meal plan, wanting to know what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. Essentially, they are looking for a quick fix. But as Health Coaches, we know diets don’t work long-term. Losing weight is not as simple as the "calories in, calories out" equation many people focus on. Plus, dieting leaves people feeling deprived, which can lead to overeating, guilt, shame, and a feeling of hopelessness. So, how can you coach clients away from dieting and toward a more sustainably nourishing approach to eating? Here are 12 suggestions for helping clients ditch the diet mentality and open their minds to a more holistic view of weight loss and health. Read More
