COACHING IS HEALTHCARE

What is lifestyle medicine for coaches?

Coaches with foundational knowledge in lifestyle medicine partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well-being. In the course of their work, lifestyle medicine coaches display unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, and honoring that each client is an expert on their life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.
