Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Health Coach?

A Health Coach is your partner on your unique journey to wellness, guiding you towards sustainable lifestyle changes. Unlike traditional doctor-patient relationships, a health coach collaborates with you, helping you discover your own solutions and strategies. We serve as your guide, encouraging and cheering you on as you set goals and adopt healthy habits that align with your unique lifestyle.

At Be Well Stay Well, we don't diagnose, prescribe, or treat. Instead, we work alongside you, helping you modify lifestyle habits that no longer serve you and replace them with ones that enhance your well-being. We focus on various areas of wellness, including: Nutrition, Movement, Stress Management, Healthy Sleep Hygiene and Balanced Leisure Time.

Why is it important to choose a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach?

Choosing a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach ensures that you're working with a professional who meets rigorous industry standards. The National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) serves as the premier certification board in the field, setting and continually enhancing these standards to increase the credibility of health and wellness coaching as a distinct profession. Coaches certified by the NBHWC have demonstrated their competence in guiding individuals towards sustainable lifestyle changes based on the latest research and methodologies.

All coaches certified by the NBHWC have undergone a rigorous examination process, validating their knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies. The NBHWC is committed to protecting the public by ensuring their certification process meets or exceeds nationally recognized guidelines, thus offering assurance to clients, employers, insurers, and other healthcare professionals.

Furthermore, the NBHWC accredits health coach training programs that meet its high standards, ensuring the continued growth and professional development within the industry.

Why is the 1-on-1 coaching program three months long?

Change takes time. Our three-month program allows enough time for you to see real change, work through life's challenges, and establish healthier habits. The duration is also ideal for understanding what works for you and creating a sustainable wellness plan for the future.

What can I expect from a Discovery Call?

A discovery call is your chance to learn more about how health coaching can benefit you. In this free 30-minute consultation, we discuss your health goals, explore your challenges, and consider how our approach can be tailored to your needs. It's a no-pressure opportunity to understand how health coaching can help you create sustainable healthy change and to see if we are a fit for working together.

Why is health coaching a valuable investment?

Investing in your health and well-being has long-term benefits that extend beyond the physical. With health coaching, you're not just buying a service—you're investing in knowledge, skills, and strategies that will support a healthier lifestyle for years to come. Our tailored approach ensures that you receive value in the form of personalized strategies and ongoing support to help you reach your unique health and wellness goals.

I'm concerned about the cost. Are there more affordable options available?
