Become a Wellness Coach

Wellness coaching is a holistic approach to coaching. It incorporates all aspects of wellbeing - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Compared to life coaching, which seeks to help people become the best version of themselves, wellness coaching is very much concerned with health. 

Of course there is some overlap with life coaching, and other forms, of coaching - but wellness coaches look towards lifestyle changes and other interventions as a means to helping clients achieve wellness goals.

To do this they may use motivational techniques, help clients set achievable goals, and encourage clients to care for themselves.
