The Value of a Health Coach (and how to get one for free)

If you’re planning to start living healthier or are on your health journey, then you know motivation is hard to come by. There are a lot of parts of a “health” journey that are annoying, uncomfortable, and, well, just hard! So, it’s important to have some outside motivational feature that can come in and help you. 

That’s where a health coach comes in!  

What is a Health Coach? 

A health coach is a professional who uses their expertise to help you achieve your health goals with personalized feedback, direct coaching, and planning.  

Health coaches provide a safe environment to have a straightforward, no-nonsense conversation about your goals without any judgement or awkward personal conflict.
