• Integrative Health and Wellness Coach

  • 2009 - 2012

  Integrative wellness coaching sessions use deep listening and insight coaching to discuss wellness goals in: nutrition, self-responsibility and love, breathing, sensing, eating, moving, feeling, thinking, playing, working, communicating, intimacy, finding meaning, and transcending. You will create structures for working on your wellness goals, co-design activities to achieve vibrant wellness, and bring awareness to areas of your life that may not be fully serving your full potential. Integrative Wellness Coaching helps you to adopt and sustain lifestyle improvements through tapping into personal strengths and utilizing well-chosen external resources. We work together to discover what you want to do, and how to get there, considering all aspects of your well-being–physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. “Integrative” coaching means: we will take a whole-person approach which integrates mind, body, spirit and community; we will value and integrate various health perspectives and healing modalities (both ancient and modern) into your consultations; and ultimately, will help you integrate personalized health and changes into your long-term, daily life.
