What is health and wellness coaching?

Instead of simply telling you what to do, Health and Wellness Coaching uses motivational interviewing, active listening and habit change tools to assess where you are, where you want to be and empower you to make the change you desire.  Coaching is about discovering ways to optimize strengths and create strategies to conquer strongholds and take the overwhelm out of managing your health.
