What is a Wellness Coach?

Wellness coaches are health and wellness professionals who work collaboratively with clients to facilitate the achievement of self-determined goals related to balanced healthy living. Wellness coaches are not intended to replace the support or guidance of physicians, registered dietitians, clinical psychologists, or specialized medical practitioners.  

Through wellness coaching, employees can expect to:

• Define Your Personal Well-Being: Clarify what holistic well-being means to you.
• Set Meaningful, Achievable Goals: Establish realistic objectives that align with your values and are tailored to your lifestyle.
• Identify and Leverage Personal Motivators: Explore intrinsic and extrinsic factors that inspire and sustain your commitment to positive change.
• Discover Relevant Resources: Learn about on-campus and local wellness services, programs, and tools that support your goals.
• Develop a Personalized Action Plan: Co-create a step-by-step strategy with your coach to implement and track your progress toward achieving your well-being objectives.

What does wellness coaching look like?

While each employee’s experience with wellness coaching will be unique, the process begins with scheduling a one-hour initial consultation. During this first session, the employee and coach will collaborate to develop a personalized plan that aligns with the employee’s motivation and aspirations for healthy living. After the initial meeting, they will decide together how often to continue sessions; options include weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly meetings, with written check-ins between sessions as needed.
