Frequently Asked Questions

While both wellness coaches and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on addressing mental health issues. According to the NASM, "wellness is defined as an individual’s personal journey toward the mental, physical, social, and emotional betterment of life.” Wellness coaching is a relationship-based practice focusing on the improving the holistic qualities of one's own life and goals.

My approach to goal-setting is to help clients identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals to improve the quality of their life and relationships. I work with clients to create a sustaintable action plan and help to provide accountability to ensure they stay on track to achieve their goals.
Relationship and wellness coaches encourage their clients to prioritize their own needs and to be kind to themselves throughout their wellness journey, rather than pushing themselves too hard or feeling guilty for slip-ups.

Wellness coaching is focused in the established domains such as nutrition, sleep, movement, and recovery practices as well as emotional health, mindset, stress management, psychological and physiological recovery.

Certified wellness coaches are trained in how to support the client through examining their emotional or behavioral challenges and can teach clients related mental and emotional skills.

Overall, wellness coaching is a unique approach  that recognizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of a person's life and prioritizes individualized care and self-compassion.

Confidentiality is of utmost importance in my coaching practice. I adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality.
