HEALTH COACH DEFINED

WHY THE PROFESSIONAL TITLE
“HEALTH COACH?”

A Health Coach does not take the place of a medical practitioner by diagnosing, treating, or taking responsibility for bringing about wellness changes in a client’s life; rather, a Health Coach encourages positive changes within client-driven wellness goals.
Health Coaches have a strong focus on behavioral choices along with the basic understanding of dietary patterns and overall health, fulfilling an important and distinct role that compliments the tasks of health professionals and works harmoniously to develop strategies that enact real, lasting lifestyle changes.
