Course Description
Wellness coaching is a relatively new field, intriguing anyone who desires to get all areas of their life into balance. This Wellness Coaching course is a general survey course designed to give you a well-rounded introduction to this exciting discipline. This self-paced class is designed to appeal to both potential clients of wellness coaching, as well as anyone interested in pursuing this career opportunity.
Explore the main concentrations of wellness coaching--physical wellness, mind wellness, spiritual wellness, and financial wellness. While it's not necessary for every person to work on all of these areas, it is a wonderful and comprehensive profession for anyone with a wide variety of interests and the desire to be in charge of their own career.
Wellness coaches can set their own schedule, pay rates, choose their clientele, work from nearly any location, and enjoy unlimited creativity and flexibility in their coaching approach. For potential wellness coaching clients, it's important to know what wellness coaching can and cannot offer.
This course can also teach you enough basics that you may be able to apply the lessons to yourself and get the help you need without further expense or consultation. Wellness coaching can help you identify and set realistic, measurable goals, remember and act on the joys and positive memories of childhood through exploration of the five senses, and unlock the creative energy that lies in each of us.
Course Lessons
Lesson One: Why Choose Wellness Coaching?
Wellness coaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Not only can students benefit from applying the basics of wellness coaching to their own lives, but they can take what they know and funnel it into a new career.
Lesson Two: Your First Client is You
In wellness coaching, the first and most important client is always you. Clients will pick up on your balance, your energy, your wellness. You're not going to sell them on your services if you don't practice what you preach.
Lesson Three: How Do I Know if it's Working?
What does it mean to have a goal? If you have a goal to change your physical wellness, how will you know if you're successful? Is it a feeling? Is it something more tangible?
Lesson Four: Fact Versus Fiction in Wellness Coaching
Since wellness coaching is a still-developing career, coaches and clients may be uncertain about what can be accomplished. This lesson will separate fact from fiction, as well as clue you in to untold client expectations.
Lesson Five: Why We Get Stuck (and How to Get Un-stuck)
At some point, either the coach or the client will get stuck. It's a phase and it can be beneficial. But there are some tips for getting through this time and learning from it.
Lesson Six: Body Wellness
It seems obvious--eat well, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep--for good health. Body wellness also includes respect, trust, education, and a bit of objectivity.
Lesson Seven: Mind Wellness
Mind wellness is more than mental health. It is positivity, it is attitude, and it is acknowledging that each of your five senses contributes to wellness. Creativity is also an important element to mind wellness and it exists in everyone.
Lesson Eight: Spiritual Wellness
Not every client will want or need to address spiritual wellness. Not every coach will want to address the topic. This lesson simply presents the basics of spirituality in wellness coaching; the rest is up to client and coach.
Lesson Nine: Economic Wellness
This chapter is about letting go of the white picket fence dream, forgetting about keeping up with the Johnsons, and finding how economic wellness complements other areas of wellness.
Lesson Ten: Staying Balanced in Times of Crisis
Times of crisis are so stressful and all-consuming that it is easy to lose focus. Through the lens of crisis, everything looks bigger and more impossible to handle.
Lesson Eleven: Ethics of Wellness Coaching
In the future, it is expected that different areas of coaching will have ethical codes. For the time being, this is at the wellness coach's discretion.
Lesson Twelve: Business Strategies for Wellness Coaching
Few wellness coaches will be able to start by hanging their shingle outside the door. While an office is not necessary for successful coaching practices, some sort of business strategy or plan will be.
