A Brief Overview Of Personal Wellness Coaching

By Krystal Branch


In many countries a great many people are enjoying comfortable life styles and as the standard of living rises, so people start to long for individual growth, a greater degree of self fulfillment and even to find some deeper meaning in their lives. This desire has led to tremendous growth in the field of personal wellness coaching. Many people believe that they need help to grow and to change.

The biggest obstacle faced by many people that want to experience growth and increased fulfillment is that they often do not know what exactly they are missing. They have ambiguous desires to do something better with their lives but they seldom know what it is they should be doing. This is where a professional can be of great value. Individual instructors can help their clients to identify their deep seated desires.

An individual instructor can help people set realistic goals and to devise a program that will hopefully achieve specific objectives. Many people set themselves unrealistic goals, or they embark upon courses and programs that are based on vague resolutions to take positive action in their own lives. Such an approach is almost doomed to failure, but a professional can help to make sure that a realistic approach is followed.

It is interesting to note that the majority of experts in this field start off with a fitness program. They argue that physical health and fitness form the basis for psychological and emotional stability and even happiness. Fit people are more motivated, they eat better, they sleep better and they have much more energy than those that are overweight and unfit.

It requires both time and patience to find the ideal coach. A coach that is of very high value to one client may not be suitable for another. It is therefore advisable to look for somebody that has dealt with a variety of other clients and that is able to provide valid references. For the best results, it is important that there is a relationship of trust between the coach and the client.

Another important point to consider is the fact that even the best professionals are not magicians. They cannot change the lives of their clients and they cannot achieve any goals on their behalf. Their role is to help the client to examine his or her own live, to define the changes that are desired and to set realistic objectives that will help the client to achieve those objectives.

Hiring the services of an experienced coach can be expensive. However, many churches offer life enrichment courses at no cost or for a small donation. It is also possible to reduce the cost by joining groups of like minded people that have roughly similar aims. Some people hire a coach for a short period of time, simply to help them get started.

Personal wellness coaching has become a big industry. Professional coaches need to be versatile because the expectations of their clients vary wildly. Many people start off with one coach and then change to another as their personal needs change. It remains important, however, to remember that the responsibility for success lies with the client, not the coach.
