What Does a Wellness Coach Do?

Here are some of the main differences between a coach and a therapist or medical professional. For example, I:

• can practice anywhere and do not need a specific state license.

• do not prescribe or diagnose.

• look at the whole person and not just symptoms.

• can be contacted 24/7.

• put YOU in control of your own health. You know what works for you. I just help you come up with strategies that work in your unique situation.

• do not tell you "what to do" and I do not "fix" you. First of all, you are not broken. I am here for support and accountability. If your plan is not working, we work together to change it!!!!!

• provide resources that might be helpful for you.

• am first and foremost, an educator, and I can help you develop important life skills.
