What IS Integrative Health Coaching anyway?
Think about an area of your life that you feel stuck and really want to make some changes. Visualize what your life would be like if you were able to actually make those changes. What would be possible for you? How would your life be different than it is today? And what might your life look like in five, ten or twenty years if you proceed on the current path? I hope I've got you thinking!
Integrative Health Coaching helps you arrive where you want to be, rather than finding yourself somewhere else accidentally. It helps you get unstuck. It helps you live with authenticity thereby improving your health and maximizing your enjoyment of life. Integrative Medicine is health care that is patient or client-centered and focused on optimal health, rather than provider-centered and focused on illness. It incorporates many different modalities for prevention and intervention including the best of Western medicine as well as numerous proven complimentary and alternative methods. However, it is based on prevention through excellent self-care which is achieved by creating a Vision for Optimal Health and developing a Personalized Health Plan.
As an Integrative Health Coach I utilize The Wheel of Health established at Duke Integrative Medicine, which places YOU at the center. And according to this model, Optimal Health includes fine-tuning and nurturing every aspect of who you are including nutrition/exercise/rest, physical environment, relationships, personal and professional development, spirituality, and the mind-body connection. This model integrates all aspects of well-being. It is an empowering model of health care as you partner with an Integrative Health Coach in creating a Personalized Health Plan and subsequently move successfully toward your Vision for Optimal Health. It helps you break free from whatever has been holding you back from all that you want to do and be.
