Integrative Health Coaching is a partnership focusing on the whole person by addressing the physical, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences that affect a person’s health.
Together, a coach and client discover and articulate the client’s vision of optimal health. Then, they take steps to help the client make lasting behavior changes that lead to better health.
Unlike a coach for a sports team, an Integrative Health Coach does not tell you what plays to run or when to throw the ball. If that coaching worked for improving your health, you’d be able to read a magazine article and get unstuck by yourself.
Instead, when you work with Amy as your coach, you start where you are. You write your unique playbook with Amy by your side. Together, you explore your options, boost your confidence, and take your next steps to create better habits.
You – being you.
You – showing up as the expert on you, the MVP of your life and health.
And Amy – offering you grace and space to create a healthier you. Amy – staying in the huddle with you, believing in you.
Are you ready to get started?
We begin by taking a look at the Wheel of Health. It’s a tool developed by Duke Integrative Medicine, where Amy completed her training and certification as an integrative health and wellness coach.
So where do you find yourself currently in in each of these areas? Can you see how getting out of balance in a few areas can make the whole wheel wobbly?
Who Can Benefit from Coaching?
Coaching can benefit anyone willing to dive in and explore the many facets of their lives. It can benefit anyone willing to look at where they are today and consider where they want to be in a few months.
Studies show that many of the major chronic diseases – such as diabetes, heart failure, cancer, and lung disease – have a big lifestyle component. Changes in behavior are essential to treating these illnesses as well and reducing the number of people who are diagnosed with these conditions.
Have you tried to improve your diet, your sleep, your exercise – only to fall back into old patterns? Do you feel stuck and unable to take the next step?
An integrative health coach can help.
Throughout the coaching process, we will:
* Identify your vision of health and what that means to YOU
* Assess where you are currently and where you want to be
* Determine your readiness for this change
* Discover what barriers may be in the way
* Create realistic, measureable goals
* Make an action plan
* Track your progress
* Celebrate your success!
Contact Amy to schedule an exploratory session and determine if coaching is right for you. Both individual and group coaching are available. For individuals, we encourage a 3-6 month commitment to help you create new behaviors that last. Most coaching appointments are conducted via telephone, so distance is not a barrier.
