Health Coach

A Health Coach provides information and advice to clients wanting to improve their health and fitness. You might discuss dietary choices, exercise programs or other behavioural changes that could make a positive impact on wellbeing. A Health Coach, or Wellness Coach, will assess a client’s needs and discuss their goals. You might provide general advice or design a health plan to follow.

Health Coaches need to have good people skills and be able to motivate clients to make healthy choices. Communication skills are important and you should be able to listen to clients and understand their individual circumstances. It’s important that you are in good health and can inspire clients to make lifestyle changes.
