Current Perspective on Health and Wellness Coaching


Both Health and Wellness Coaching are rapidly growing professions. Holistic coaching, lifestyle and behavioral change and health promotion are rapidly being implemented in hospitals, medical practices, social service agencies, complementary medicine programs, corporations, parish health ministries and spas/retreats -- as well as with the private clientele of counselors and therapists.

As a result there is a rapidly growing need for health and wellness coaches and coaching throughout the United States. Research from Stanford, Duke and other universities reveals that Health and Wellness Coaching is effective in supporting people to be successful in creating and maintaining healthy lifestyle changes.

And major corporations such as Ford, Proctor & Gamble, Google, Sony, Johnson & Johnson, Chevron, Toyota have implemented health coaching programs to maximize productivity, increase work-life balance, and decrease the waste of corporate revenue on preventable diseases. Health educators at the US Air Force and the fitness trainers at the YMCA are among the most exciting new client institutions that have recently initiated Circle of Life coaching programs.

Cheryl Richardson, MCC, who is widely recognized as a coaching luminary stated in a recent keynote at the International Coach Federation conference that “the next big trend is health and wellness coaching delivered through individual and group coaching” and that more coaches will be working in partnership with physicians, clinics, wellness programs, and corporate HR based wellness programs. Health and wellness coaching is the most important medical cost reduction strategy for corporations and institutions as well as complementary and integrative medicine programs. Consider how this innovative training could complement your career goals and add to your income stream.
