The goal of health coaching is to give an individual the knowledge, skills, and confidence to drive and manage their self-care in order to achieve their health and wellness goals. Health coaching may help with a broad variety of health issues, such as weight loss, stress reduction, the management of chronic conditions, improving diet and exercise, tobacco cessation, addiction, and others. A health coach will work with an individual, in a collaborative manner to understand issues, set goals, and develop a plan and track progress. Health coaching involves positive reinforcement and support as the individual moves towards the goal.
