What Health and Wellness Nurse Coaching Involves

Health and wellness coaches come alongside patients as partners with a shared goal of pursuing individual well-being. Backed by a belief in the client’s ability to change, working in this role, you will interact in an honoring, non-judgmental way and seek to promote overall health and well-being. Using a wide range of practices, from evidence-based protocol to appreciative inquiry, you can help clients find strategies for dealing with personal health goals and challenges.

Health and Wellness Nurse Coaches practice in numerous areas, including executive, life, and business coaching, and more. Likewise, they can work in a variety of settings: hospitals, private practices, group practices, or even insurance companies that want to lower costs of managing disease.
