Testimonials
Well-Being Coaching is the evidence-based, collaborative process that taps into your inner motivation and facilitates a change process through visioning, goal setting, and accountability to support lasting behavior changes!
It's important for us to note here...
Therapy involves reflecting on experiences to process life events and emotions to treat mental health conditions, while coaching involves reflecting on experiences to gain information to help you move forward towards self-directed goals.
**If you find yourself in crisis or distress, please call the crisis lifeline number 988 (within the U.S.)
The WHAT
Coaching is NOT therapy!
get started!
Healthy lifestyle behaviors play a very important role in promoting both emotional and physical well-being and provide a reciprocal, reinforcing link with positive emotions to help buffer the impacts of burnout (Rippe, 2020; Lianov, 2021).
