Health Coaching
Health Coaching is an individualized approach to helping clients identify and reach health improvement goals. Health Works health coaches are educators with training and experience in health education who understand lifestyle behaviors that lead to increased health risks and how to lower these risks through practical but effective behavior change. Health Coaching adds motivation, accountability, awareness, education, focus and practicality to an individual's behavior change endeavors.
