Who benefits from the services of a holistic health coach?

Are you considering enlisting the services of a holistic health coach or nutritionist? Here are some thoughts to to consider before taking on a health coach to assist you in reaching your health goals.

You can benefit from hiring a holistic health coach if:

• You want to promote good health in yourself or others
• You recognize that improving personal lifestyle is important to raising personal health
• You want to feel well, experience increased energy and improve overall health
• You want the freedom to seek quality care that can result in high-level wellness; the kind of care that will sustain productivity and the quality of life into the later years
• You desire more than today's standard level of health under attack from pollution, stress, denatured food, toxins and other variables
• You are more interested in dealing with causes than effects and with the overall person, rather than specific parts or areas
• You are willing to change unhealthy aspects of lifestyle in order to achieve improved health goals
• You seek health care that involves preventative, non-invasive, individual oriented principles and techniques

If several or all of these statements pertain to you, then perhaps you should consider seeking the guidance of a holistic health coach. Be sure to know their educational background and training. And ask for references from previous customers. But most importantly, have a 15 minute conversation to make sure you click with their personality and their philosophy. You don't want to find out far into the business relationship that you don't work well together.
