Health coaching is a personalized and holistic approach to guiding individuals toward improved health and well-being. Here's how it works:

1. Assessment: The health coaching journey begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current physical, mental, and lifestyle factors. This helps the us understand your unique needs, goals, challenges, and preferences.

2. Goal Setting: Working together, you will establish realistic and achievable goals based on your assessments and greater vision for your future. These goals could include weight management, stress reduction, improved nutrition, increased physical activity, better sleep habits, improved relationships, a more fulfilling career, and anything else that is important to you. 

3. Action Planning: Once the goals are set, we will collaborate to create a customized action plan. This plan will include specific steps, strategies, and resources to help you make sustainable changes in your life.

4. Guidance and Support: Throughout your health coaching journey, we will provide ongoing guidance and support. We will serve as your accountability partner, educator, and motivator, helping you overcome obstacles, stay on track, and celebrate successes along the way.

5. Education and Empowerment: As a health coach, the goal is to empower you with knowledge and skills so that you can make informed decisions about your health. We will share evidence-based information, facilitate behavior change, and provide resources to enhance your overall well-being.

6. Holistic Approach: Health coaching embraces a holistic approach, recognizing that health is influenced by various interconnected factors like nutrition, physical activity, stress, sleep, relationships, and mindset. The focus is on optimizing all aspects of your life to achieve optimal health and balance.

7. Long-term Support: Health coaching is not a quick fix but a long-term partnership. We will work with you over a sustained period, providing ongoing support, guidance, and encouragement to ensure lasting results.

Health coaching is tailored to your individual needs and preferences. It is a collaborative process that empowers you to take control of your health and create a sustainable, vibrant lifestyle

Health coaching is a collaborative partnership based on the belief that you are already whole, capable, and resourceful. The process of coaching helps you discover your innate strengths, connect to what is most important to you, and identify obstacles, options, and solutions. The goal is to help you reach your health and wellness aspirations by providing guidance, support, and accountability throughout your journey. 

Here's the typical process:

1. Assessments and Intake Form: We will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current health status, lifestyle habits, and any barriers that may be hindering your progress. This evaluation helps create a baseline for tracking your progress.

2. Setting Goals: The second step is defining your health and wellness goals. Whether it's improving nutrition, managing stress, increasing physical activity, reducing weight, or finding greater fulfillment in your career and relationships, we will work with you to establish clear and realistic goals.

3. Personalized Action Plan: Based on your goals and assessment, we will develop a personalized action plan tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. This plan will outline the specific steps and strategies you need to take to achieve your desired outcomes.

4. Coaching Sessions: We will meet virtually on a regular basis to discuss your progress, challenges, and successes. These sessions provide an opportunity for guidance, support, and reflection. We will also help you identify and overcome any roadblocks or obstacles that might arise along the way.

5. Education and Resources: Health coaching goes beyond just providing guidance. We will equip you with valuable educational materials, resources, and tools to empower you to make informed decisions about your health and lifestyle. We will share evidence-based information, techniques, and strategies to help you develop new habits and optimize your well-being.

6. Accountability and Support: We will be your accountability partner, helping you stay on track and motivated. We will celebrate your victories and help you learn from any setbacks, ensuring that you maintain focus and work towards your goals consistently.

7. Ongoing Support: Health coaching isn't a one-time process. We will continue to support you even after you have achieved your initial goals, provide ongoing guidance, and help you sustain long-lasting lifestyle changes.

Health coaching is a dynamic and individualized process that adapts to your unique circumstances. The coach-client relationship is based on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to your overall well-being.

Coaching is a collaborative process that focuses on personal and professional development, goal-setting, and action planning. It aims to support individuals in identifying their strengths, overcoming obstacles, and achieving specific outcomes. Coaches encourage self-discovery, provide guidance, and hold clients accountable for their progress.

Therapy, on the other hand, primarily deals with addressing and resolving psychological issues, emotional trauma, and mental health concerns. Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and more. Therapy often involves exploring past experiences and their impact on present thoughts and behaviors.

Counseling typically focuses on providing guidance, advice, and support during challenging life situations, such as relationship issues, career concerns, and decision-making. Counselors assist clients in exploring different perspectives, developing coping strategies, and facilitating personal growth.

While coaching, therapy, and counseling can overlap at times, their primary objectives and approaches differ. Coaching is future-oriented, action-driven, and aims to achieve specific goals, whereas therapy and counseling typically delve into past experiences and emotional healing.

It's important to note that coaching does not replace therapy or counseling for those with severe mental health conditions. Instead, it complements and supports individuals who are looking to enhance their personal or professional lives.

If you're ready to take proactive steps towards achieving your goals and unlocking your potential, coaching can be a valuable tool on your journey.

At first glance, health coaching and consulting may appear similar, but there are distinct differences between the two approaches.

Our health consulting is a specialized approach, including personalized advice, guidance, and encouragement to promote sustainable lifestyle changes.

As an adjunct to the ancient wisdom of yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, we utilize and incorporate the latest scientific research on health, wellness, prevention, sleep, circadian rhythm, metabolic health, and longevity for an evidence-based and evidence-informed practice.  

Evidence-based practices refer to strategies or interventions that have been proven effective through scientific research and rigorous evaluation. These practices are based on the best available evidence and have been tested and shown to produce positive outcomes in specific contexts. When we say we use evidence-based practices, it means that we rely on scientific evidence to guide our decision-making and implementation processes. This helps us provide our clients with solutions that have been proven to work.

On the other hand, evidence-informed practices acknowledge that not all interventions or strategies have sufficient scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. In these cases, practitioners rely on a combination of research evidence, professional expertise, and client preferences to inform their decisions. While evidence-informed practices may not have the same level of empirical support as evidence-based practices, they still ensure that the decisions made are guided by the best available evidence and expert knowledge.

By incorporating both evidence-based and evidence-informed practices, we ensure that we are constantly improving and adapting our methods to deliver the most effective solutions for our clients. We believe in staying up-to-date with the latest research findings and applying them in a way that best meets the unique needs of each of our clients. 

We offer coaching services that seamlessly integrate with other health providers for a holistic approach to your wellness. We can help educate, support, and be your advocate in implementing recommendations.

2. Collaborative Approach: We can work closely with your healthcare team, including doctors, therapists, nutritionists, and other specialists to ensure a cohesive and coordinated approach to your wellbeing. We can exchange notes, share progress updates, and collaborate on your personalized plan.

3. Personalized Coaching Plan: Based on the information gathered, we will create a tailored coaching plan that complements your existing treatments and aligns with your health goals. This plan may include lifestyle modifications, behavior change techniques, goal setting, and ongoing support.

4. Communication and Feedback: We maintain open lines of communication with your other health providers to ensure alignment and to address any potential conflicts or overlapping recommendations. Regular feedback ensures optimal results and avoids any contradictory advice.

5. Ongoing Support: Our coaching program provides continuous support and guidance throughout your wellness journey. We offer regular check-ins, coaching sessions, and customized resources tailored to your specific needs. 

6. Progress Tracking: We track your progress, measure milestones, and continuously adjust our coaching strategies based on feedback from you and your healthcare team. This ensures that we're always on the same page and working towards the best possible outcomes.
