The Secrets of Vibrant Wellness Health Coaching

No matter what type of coach you are, there are certain ways to work with clients that are relevant across all segments of the coaching industry. There are also ways to run your health coaching business that are specific to vibrant wellness health coaching.

Here are a few of the best ways to make your health coaching career a success:

• Client-driven sessions work best. What works best for one client may not work at all for another. Assessing each client and taking a scientific approach (data collection, surveys, measurements, etc.) at first will provide data that will help you design a session for each and every client.
• Approach wellness in a holistic manner. All parts fit together – diet, nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, stress reduction, healthy relationships, and making healthy lifestyle choices. Synergistic relationships between all the components of health will make a client healthier ans stronger when they are addressed together as a whole.
• Goals matter. You should focus on identifying and clarifying goals. There should be interim, short-term goals and long-term goals. There should be goals that address the individual components of success, and goals that are set in respect to the holistic part of your coaching. Goals create action, and action results in success. You want to provide the right outcomes for your clients? It all starts with goals!
• If clients come to you with symptoms, don’t just treat those symptoms – treat the underlying cause. If they want to stop smoking, there may be more to it than just an addiction. Try to find the underlying or hidden causes for problems or unhealthy lifestyle choices.
• Motivate, encourage, and support. All coaches do this, and it is especially important when it comes to health and wellness. You are their shoulder to cry on, their kick in the butt, their health monitor, and their fitness trainer.
• Assess and reassess. If a client comes to you for a one-time session, this is impossible, but if you are coaching clients over a period of time, you clients success will depend on periodic assessments and reassessment. Don’t be afraid to give surveys, ask for feedback, measure success (weight, exercise numbers, vital health numbers, etc). Your vibrant wellness health coaching success depends on their success, so don’t be afraid to measure it and recognize it!
