Life and Wellness Coach
In wellness coaching and life coaching the wheel of health shows the component parts of a total health program and what is required to achieve better health. It has four components: physical, emotional, spiritual and mental. As long as we nurture all four, great health can be obtained. A wellness coachor life coach can assist in improving the component(s) of the wheel that need special attention, dreams one would like to see manifest, and goals one desires to achieve but which may seem out of reach. One often hears about body-mind connection, which might seem too abstract to focus on and to use in making desired changes. The wheel of health brings this connection more into focus and changes can be targeted in a more channeled way. You’ll find more information about the wheel of health in "Healthy Insights".

A life coach and a wellness coach are not counselors or therapists, and they do not advise the client on what to do. In order to sustain long-lasting results, the answers must be found from within. Exterior motivation can only be maintained for a limited time. When the client is truly passionate about the changes to be made and the goals to be achieved, success is within reach. Life coaching and wellness coaching can assist in finding this passion so that the client can find joy, happiness and great well-being.
