Long Island Holistic Health Coach For Women

By Jocelyn Davidson


Long Island NY is a dynamic place to live, with a mix of urban excitement and rural tranquility. It seems the perfect place to work with a holistic health coach for women and get the most out of life. This kind of direction from a health and lifestyle professional is a way to overcome past and present obstacles to happiness and move forward. It's also a very exciting career for those who want to help the many, many people who are in distress in this society.

It's apparent that the cliche is true: money can't buy happiness. How else to explain the millions who have what seems to be a perfect life but are overwhelmed by life's demands. Those with real health problems have even more cause for desperation, which they may hide from friends and family to spare them pain.

Holistic coaching does much of what psychiatrists, social workers, alternative medical practitioners, dietitians, and counselors do. However, the approach is different. The goal is to empower the client to deal with personal problems, adverse circumstances, past wounds, and present insecurities. The coach does not offer solutions or mere understanding, but works with the client to help them reach their potential in all areas of life.

Dietary counseling, nutritional supplementation, and setting up a sustainable exercise program enter into this discipline, but the most important technique is proving to be something called 'motivational interviewing'. This in-depth exchange between client and coach helps foster closeness and trust. It allows the person offering help to assess the strengths, desires, and personality of the client and understand what has been holding them back from success.

Studies show that people with type II diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease, obesity, a smoking habit, and other physical ailments have found this form of therapy very helpful. Health is not the only arena where holistic coaching works wonders; people improve their relationships, their career performance, their financial situation, and their mental and emotional balance. Motivation is the key for self-improvement.

Coaches listen and then help clients see themselves more clearly. They can then work together to set a program for resolving issues. Coaches stay involved, monitoring progress on an ongoing basis. Often clients need help in seeing how far they have come toward goals that may still be distant.

Learning coaching skills can expand the scope of pharmacists, physical therapists, nurses, nutritionists, and personal trainers. Anyone, however, who wants to help others could find being a whole-health coach a fulfilling profession. Becoming certified in this field makes it legal to advise on diet, lifestyle, supplementation, and medication if needed.

Many coaches include eastern meditation techniques in their practice, but this arena is equally open to Christians, who can offer the power of prayer and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to clients. Completely secular help can also benefit people - and there are millions of them - in New York and all over the country.
