Wellness Coaching Framework

Well-being is cultivated through both personal and collective resources.
The Wellness Wheel
The Wellness Wheel is a visual tool that helps us understand the many interconnected dimensions of our lives. It recognizes that health is about more than any single behavior, condition, or circumstance. Instead, our well-being is shaped by multiple areas of life that interact with and influence one another. At any given moment, some dimensions may be thriving and providing energy, fulfillment, and support, while others may feel challenged and require greater attention and care.
Wellness vs. Well-Being
While the terms are often used interchangeably, wellness and well-being are not the same.
-
Wellness is the way we care for ourselves through our daily choices, habits, and behaviors.
-
Well-being is the broader experience of thriving that comes from both caring for ourselves and being supported by the people, communities, systems, and opportunities around us.
To experience well-being, we need both personal and collective resources.
Wellness Coaching, Guided by the Wellness Wheel
The Wellness Wheel serves as the foundation for wellness coaching. Together, we will use the wheel to:
-
Explore the different dimensions of your life and well-being.
-
Identify areas of strength as well as opportunities for growth.
-
Clarify the values that guide your decisions and actions.
-
Recognize the internal and external resources that support your well-being.
-
Increase self-awareness and deepen your understanding of what matters most.
-
Create a vision for the life you want to live that is value aligned.
-
Develop meaningful, realistic goals that move you toward greater well-being, purpose, and fulfillment.
One of the benefits of wellness coaching is that you don't have to navigate change alone. As your wellness coach, I will walk alongside you, celebrating successes, helping you move through challenges, and supporting you as you take meaningful steps toward your goals.
While every coaching journey is unique, wellness coaching is often a shorter-term, goal-oriented process designed to help you create meaningful change and build lifelong skills. My hope is that the insights, practices, mindset shifts, and self-awareness gained through coaching will continue to support your well-being long after our work together has concluded.
Creating lasting change
Wellness coaching can support you in:
-
Creating lasting behavior change that supports your health and well-being.

Increasing self-awareness and understanding yourself more deeply.
-
Building confidence in your decision-making and motivation for change.

Navigating life with a chronic illness.

My Wellness Coaching Philosophy
My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative partnership where you can build confidence, strengthen self-awareness, move closer to your authentic self, and create meaningful, lasting change.
As a board-certified wellness coach, I believe:
-
You are the expert in your own life.
-
Lasting change begins with self-awareness, curiosity, and compassion.
-
Your strengths and values are powerful guides for growth and decision-making.
-
Wellness is more than individual habits and behaviors; it is shaped by your relationships, communities, environments, and opportunities.
-
Well-being is supported by both personal and collective resources.
-
Sustainable change happens through meaningful, realistic steps rather than quick fixes.
-
Science, behavioral change theory, and evidence-informed practice provide a strong foundation for growth.
-
Mindfulness and self-compassion can help us navigate life's challenges with greater intention.
-
Cultural humility and social justice are essential to creating inclusive and equitable opportunities for well-being.
-
Collaboration and support are powerful catalysts for change.
As a wellness coach, I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
If, during our work together, I believe you would be better supported through therapy or another health service, I will discuss this with you and offer appropriate referrals.
