Wellness Coaching strives to balance the numerous areas of life that affect optimal health & wellness. Physical health factors such as cardiovascular capacity, muscle strength & flexibility, weight management & body composition, nutrition, and stress management are the focus of most Wellness Coaching programs. Life purpose, life satisfaction and relationships all affect the foundation of well-being and are often included as secondary goals in wellness plans.

the design session

All coaching programs start off with a Design Session. This 2-Hour meeting takes place by telephone from wherever you live or work (in-person optional for Newton and Boston area residents). This is the starting point for your program.Before we meet you will be sent a Health History & Lifestyle Questionnaire to complete, including an area to start outlining your goals and provide input about what will best support you in the coaching process.

The coaching foundation holds that you are wholly complete, resourcesful and capable all on your own. You will decide which weekly goals to commit to and where you need support and brainstorming during the session. As a certified personal trainer, yoga & pilates instructor and life coach, my opinions, education or resource suggestions are available for you by request. As your coach, with the outside perspective of your best self in vision, I may challenge you to dream bigger & set your standards higher. In the end, knowing that the process, as well as the goal, are equally important - the decision of what to work on each week will always be yours.

During the Design Session you will:

• Create a simple, succinct long termWellness Vision
• Map out Specific 3-Month Goals to move you toward your vision
• Identify Motivation, Challenges & Solutions and Stage of Change for each 3-Month Goal
• Create your first Week's Goals with one simple goal toward each 3-Month Goal

After your session, you will receive a written document including all of the above via email or in an organized binder to help you maintain focus & put your energy into positive forward action around getting started. If any of your goals require a Medical Release, you will receive this promptly so any input or direction from your physician can me included in the goals and you can get moving right away!
