FAQs
How can a wellness coach help me?
Wellness coaching is a confidential and supportive partnership between you and the health coach. It effectively motivates and encourages behavior change to help you meet your health and wellness vision and goals. If it has to do with making fitness and nutrition realistic and sustainable in your busy life, then a Health Coach can help!
So many people fall into specific diet fads, attempt crash diets, and engage in health behaviors that can do more harm than good to a body.
A Health Coach is there to help you wade through all the information coming out everyday on different health benefits of particular foods and rules for movement. Instead of using a crash diet, or eating fad, a Health Coach works together with a client to create habits that are sustainable and realistic to your busy lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed and to actually reach your health goals once and for all.
What aspects of my life can I address with my coach?
Eating habits/nutrition, health maintenance, physical activity, sleep and relaxation, stress and weight management, relationships, spiritual practices, and mindset are all areas that you can discuss with a health coach. It’s your choice as to what you want to focus on to improve your well-being.
How many visits will I need with my health coach?
There’s no set number of visits; however, meeting with your health coach on a regular basis will guide you along your journey to wellness. Studies have demonstrated that having regular weekly sessions with a health coach at the beginning of a wellness journey increases the chances of successfully establishing and maintaining healthy habits and routines aligned with the client's wellness goals.
How will health coaching bring lasting change?
Health coaching guides you in charting your path toward wellness and helps you take a series of small, doable steps that become long-lasting, meaningful and powerful changes. Rather than getting a prescribed diet or fitness plan, you are getting individualized strategies that focus on your specific needs.
Health Coaches are trained in a number of different areas related to health such as nutrition guidelines and research, behavior change patterns, and physical activity to give you a well-rounded way to make positive, lasting changes to your lifestyle.
What is Group Coaching & how can it help me?
Group Coaching provides a sense of community where a group of like minded individuals with similar goals, join a weekly call to make commitments toward their goals. Members feel a greater sense of responsibility to follow through and also feel less alone and are often open to learning from other clients' experiences.
What is the difference between a Health Coach, Personal Trainer, and Life Coach?
While a Health Coach is trained in different aspects of health like nutrition protocols, fitness, and mindset techniques, a Personal Trainer is predominately trained in body mechanics and fitness only.
A Life Coach is more of a generalist in your overall life and career goals with a limited focus and knowledge of nutrition, fitness, and health. If your focus is on health, then a Health Coach is the route you want to go.
What training do health coaches receive?
There are many health coach trainings available, however, Deslie has studied at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, and graduated from the Holistic Health and Wellness program with a concentration in Nutrition, an approved coaching and education program by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). Graduates from this programs qualify to apply for the NBHWC National Board Certification Examination. Deslie has earned the designation, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).
What is the future of Health and wellness Coaching?
In 2019, the American Medical Association (AMA) created Category III Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for health and well-being coaching that are effective January 1, 2020. Although Category III CPT codes are not subject to health insurance reimbursement yet, the AMA noted that only health professionals certified by the NBHWC or the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. (NCHEC) will qualify as a health insurance reimbursement when it does become available as these certifications establishes professional standards for health coaching and measures the competencies and skills that health coaches must acquire.
