What is a wellness coach?

And what's the difference between a wellness coach and a nutritionist?

This is a question I get asked a lot and here is as easy way to describe the work we will do together!

I am a certified wellness coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. But what does that mean?

A wellness coach and a nutritionist are both professionals who help in promoting health and well-being. However, they focus on different aspects and may use different approaches. I'm going to give you an easy break-down to explain how I can help you.

I help you with overall well-being and quality of life. My focus is on holistic wellness which encompasses many areas of health including, physical, emotional, mental, social and even spiritual well-being. I assist with setting and achieving goals related to stress management, work-life balance, fitness, relationships and personal development.

Key points about my work with you:

1) Focus on holistic well-being and life satisfaction.

2) Help you set and achieve goals in multiple areas of your life.

3) Empower you to make positive lifestyle changes.

4) May not provide specific dietary recommendations or medical advice, but can offer general guidance on healthy habits and some nutritional ideas to support your goals.

5) Identify habits that are holding you back from becoming your best self.

What is a nutritionist?

A nutritionist is a professional who specializes in the field of nutrition and dietetics. They are trained to assess an individual's nutritional needs, develop personalized nutrition plans, and offer recommendations to improve overall health, manage chronic conditions, and achieve specific goals like muscle gain or improved athletic performance.

To sum it up, a wellness coach (me) focuses on promoting overall well-being and helping clients make positive changes in various aspects of their lives, while a nutritionist specializes in providing expert guidance on dietary choices and nutrition-related goals.
