Wellness coaching can be a promising solution to lowering the obesity rate and health care cost. Recent studies on wellness coaching have concluded that coaching can help with weight loss (Leahey & Wing, 2012).
A wellness coach will give their clients encourage, motivation and the tools they need to achieve their physical and emotional health goals. Unlike a nutritionist or physical therapist, which makes specific recommendations, a wellness coach will help you make better general choices that fit within your lifestyle. The main focus of wellness coaching is prevention of diseases, and living a healthy life style physical, mentally and spiritually. In the coaching process the coach comes alongside the client to motivate, promote, teach, facilitate healthy behaviors and achievement of wellness goals set by the client. The coach takes and active role in helping the client set goals, identify barrier, obstacles and achieve their healthcare needs. People work with wellness coaches for several reasons; weight loss, stress management, life issues, health, disease prevention, fitness and nutrition are just a few to name.
Coaching sessions are very expensive and can cost anywhere from $90 per hour up to $150 per hour.
