I have been a wellness coach for my program Healthy Solutions for ten years.I started it when I realized that I could explain to people and even show people how to exercise and what to eat and it made little difference. Provocative, ongoing dialogue around habits, beliefs and emotional issues is the missing peice for most.

Wellness coaching is a powerful relationship between a client and coach which explores the client’s greatest health concerns and goals, the obstacles to achieving those goals, and strategies to overcome the obstacles. Wellness coaching will empower you to make lasting changes that significantly can impact your health and well-being. Most individuals know exactly what they need to do to improve their health, whether it be losing weight, reducing stress, exercising, or following physician recommendations. However, actually following through and taking action, or maintaining action for a lifetime, is an ongoing struggle for many people.
I created www.EnerGcoaching.com to help people who are struggling with issues such as weight loss, stress management, getting in shape and other health related problems that can be affected by lifestyle changes. I energize my clients so they can kick the ineffective quick fixes and instead work toward achieving their optimum level of wellness for the long-term. I passionately believe that every aspect of life improves when you are functioning with peak emotional and physical energy and health.
I Understand the Challenges Most People Face

Wellness coaching is a great job - not only sitting and talking on the phone all day. Many corporations mix it with classes and meet with people face to face.
i wrote an article on wellness coaching that gives anyone interested a broad perspective of what it looks like...
Are these jobs bad news? I'm burnout from personal training, well at least for now. I had second thoughts when applying for this job. I don't know if I can sit on my ass all day and talk on the phone.
