Summary
Health and Wellness Coaching is a new branch of the natural healthcare that I have been delivering for over 30 years. While the approach and focus are slightly different, the ultimate goals of helping people to be self-directed in their care while enjoying health and wellness, are the same. Both approaches to health involve meeting clients where they are assessing where they want to go, helping them to develop a realistic action plan of how to attain their goals, checking in with them along the way, and providing education and outside referrals as needed.

If health and wellness coaching was a career option when I was starting out, it would have fit my career goals.
