Health coaching allows me to integrate the skills that I have learned through social work, yoga and mindfulness teaching, and project management. My mission is to create safe and engaging spaces that allow individuals to connect with their own inner wisdom so that they can create a life that is aligned with their vision, values, and purpose. My varied experiences have created opportunities for me to develop professional helping relationships with diverse clientele, which will allow me to adapt my coaching style to the unique needs of each person that I work with. Health coaching is an emerging profession within the healthcare system. As a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a future NBHWC certified coach, I am continuously educating myself on the trends and developments in coaching. I am open to developing my skills in a variety of settings – wellness studios, nonprofit organizations, corporate offices, fitness centers, and healthcare facilities. The coaching model is adaptable to the needs of any population. Holistic health encompasses an individual’s physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. My MS in Integrative Health and Wellness program has prepared me to support clients by promoting an evidence-based understanding of nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and other health-related factors. I have had the opportunity to cultivate coaching skills based in modalities that are proven effective, such as Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change. I also bring a thorough understanding of social issues, addictions, and helping skills from my undergraduate program. I enjoy blending my understanding of personal health and coaching skills with alternative therapies as well, such as yoga, breathwork, meditation and EFT. I look forward to my coaching career with optimism, passion, and dedication. I vow to use the skills that I have cultivated through my educational, professional, and personal experiences to serve each unique client that comes into my care. So often, people know what they want, and they know what they should do to get there, but they simply need someone to believe in them, offer them tools, and remind them of their strength. I am excited to have the opportunity to empower people to create a life that brings them joy, peace, and fulfillment.
