Information on 2R Health Integrative Health Coaching

If you are considering 2R Health Integrative Health Coaching, or you have already made a commitment, here is some information that you may find useful before you attend your first telephone or in-person session.

What is 2R Health Integrative Health Coaching?

Are there health behavior changes that you’ve wanted to make but haven’t either known how or been successful in the past? Has a new health concern arisen that you want to pay particular attention to? Health coaching effectively motivates and supports health behavior change through a structured partnership between the participant and coach. The coach helps you develop and realize your optimal health vision through inquiry, personal discovery and accountability.

Coaching provides an opportunity for you to collaborate with an experienced partner to carve out the kind of optimal health you’ve envisioned. A coach is like a “personal trainer” except the focus will be on your whole self. Any concern that gets in the way of taking care of your optimal health is the perfect subject with which to begin coaching.

Why is 2R Health Integrative Health Coaching effective in helping people realize their optimal health?

Coaches work with the whole person. They listen to your concerns and ask powerful questions to help motivate you to make the changes you desire.
Coaches spend time exploring what is most important to you and allow you to choose your course of action for whatever health concern you choose to address.
Coaches guide you through a process to maximize the possibility of your success. You and your coach work in partnership to identify obstacles to change and create strategies for moving forward toward your goals.
Coaches support you in tracking your weekly progress and hold you accountable for your commitments.
Coaches provide additional resources for making healthy behavior changes.

What might you bring up and talk about in your coaching sessions?

The coaching relationship is unique. The coach and the client form a partnership to better equip you to realize your optimal health vision based on your goals and values. Essentially, any topic you want to bring up that you think will contribute to your optimal health is an appropriate topic for your 2R Health Integrative Health Coaching.
