What is wellness? Wellness doesn't happen easily or automatically. It is the condition of good health—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—through adoption and regular practice of healthful behaviours. An effective wellness program includes dietary, exercise, stress management, and disease prevention strategies. The ultimate goal is to achieve a healthy lifestyle while improving balance, peace of mind, and well-being.
Why wellness coaching? The practice of adopting healthful behaviours
continues to elude most of us. This is where Peter's wellness coaching can help.
Research has shown that one-on-one coaching is among the most effective approaches
to helping people change their ingrained bad habits and maintain better habits
over time.
Based on the client's health issues and health goals, Peter offers a comprehensive
approach to wellness that includes stress management, nutrition, physical activity,
weight management, and any life issues that impact wellness. Because of this
combination, clients can change behaviours faster than they would with a personal
trainer, dietitian, or stress management counsellor alone.
What can
you expect from a wellness coach? Wellness coaches are trained experts
in wellness issues; qualified to provide instruction, advice, and guidance in
fitness, weight management, nutrition, and stress management. A wellness coach
provides clients the structure and discipline they need to achieve health-related
goals.
Peter effectively
combines proven coaching techniques with the latest in wellness knowledge and
tools. Peter works with clients to make positive health behaviour changes by
engaging both the body and the mind.
Physical inactivity, poor diet or obesity, high stress, and smoking are risk
factors for chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The
good news is that modifying behaviour can have a dramatic effect on postponing
or preventing chronic illnesses. You do not have to do it alone. A coaching
partnership with Peter is an opportunity to collaborate with an experienced
wellness coach and psychologist to create the life you want to live.
A coach is like a
personal trainer except the coaching process is focused on all of you. Coaching
effectively motivates behaviour change through a structured, supportive process
and partnership between you and the coach. Together, you develop a wellness
plan that takes into consideration your particular health concerns and health
objectives, history, lifestyle, and anticipated obstacles.
You are offered strategies
for forward movement and are held accountable for your commitments. Coaching
acts as a catalyst to empower you to make the changes you need to make in order
to achieve the health you desire.
