What is a Professional Health Coach?
“Health and Wellness Coaching is a client-led, collaborative process that aims to promote self-management, self-empowerment and equip an individual to adapt positively to their internal and external environment to create a state of resilience through the pursuit of activities and a lifestyle that cultivates their whole-health continuum.”
A health coach is a whole-health professional and expert in lifestyle and behaviour change, partnering with clients or patients who want to make sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their whole-health and wellness (UKIHCA).
A professional health coach is a health coach who also maintains the highest professional and ethical approach to all of their interactions, and has a thorough understanding of their roles & responsibilities as a health coach. A professional health coach upholds the integrity of the profession & ensures that they are providing the best possible support to their clients.
