Who is a Wellness coach?

A professional who assesses their client’s current physical, mental, and emotional state, and helps them set and achieve goals in their overall wellness and health.  

So how is a wellness coach different from a personal trainer and a physician? The major difference is, a personal trainer focuses solely on physical fitness, ignoring the most crucial components of health which are emotional wellbeing and mental peace. Likewise, a physician tends to focus on the physical aspect, neglecting to counsel their patients in terms of overall wellbeing. Their advice falls on deaf ears, and desirable outcomes are not achieved, expectations are not met.  

Whereas wellness coaches are more comprehensive and they have a wholesome strategy for overall wellbeing, that is why they are wellness coaches. They cover all dimensions of health and wellbeing be it emotional, mental, and physical.  This may be in terms of physical health (exercise, nutrition intake, sleep hygiene, etc.), mental health (stress coping, bringing a balance, positive mind-set, nourishing relationships, being peaceful and happy).

What do they do?

Wellness coaches have a holistic approach for their clients.  They will work with the individual’s strengths and values; they will show a way of development of self. They will push individuals to tap their potential. They will not just counsel and guide but they will empower and inspire. They will make you stay on track as you make your lifestyle changes. 

We have our own data set when it comes to dietary preferences, habits that should be nurtured and those which should be dropped, how to deal with work stress, how to manage ourselves so that we can utilize precious stock of 24 hours in a day.
