health coaching
Lifestyle improvement support
Health coaching is a collaborative practice in which a trained professional helps clients set and achieve wellness goals—weight loss, stress management, better nutrition, exercise habits.
Unlike therapy, health coaching focuses on actionable behavior change rather than psychological exploration.
Unlike medical advice, it emphasizes motivation and accountability: My health coach helped me finally stick to a morning routine.
