Healthy
and Fit After Cancer® coaching
for individuals
An
individual wellness coaching program gives you a pathway to
feeling your best with powerful, yet practical steps, that
inspire hope, possibility, and strength to follow your
vision of health and well-being!
Whether
you have just finished treatment or are living with cancer,
a Healthy and Fit After Cancer® wellness coach will help
you think about and follow through with, the things you
want to be doing to be at your best (eat better, exercise,
lose weight, reduce stress, improve happiness-whatever it
looks like for you). The results of working with a wellness
coach? Happier, hopeful, confident people ready to live
their best life...
Cancer can throw us a curve ball and create obstacles to
feeling our best, but there is so much we CAN do to improve
our health and quality of life. Let a coach help you create
your healthiest life.
How
does coaching work?
Coaching is conducted by phone, so there are no
geographical boundaries. The average program is three
months with follow up sessions as needed afterwards. A
program includes an initial session of 90 minutes followed
by five-six 45 minute sessions. You can have a few coaching
sessions or work with a coach for years. It all depends on
what you want to accomplish.
What
is covered in wellness coaching?
Anything that impacts your health, fitness, happiness, and
well-being. A wellness coach can help you lose weight,
improve your happiness, reduce stress, eat healthier, get
fit, increase energy, or life issues that impact your
wellness. The focus is on lasting change, not quick fixes.
Why
wellness coaching?
Most of us know what we need to do to feel our best but
never seem to get around to doing it, or struggle with
following through. A coach partners with you to prioritize
what matters most and follow through! We don’t build
dependency. A good coach helps you build confidence in your
ability to do it on your own, so eventually, we
aren’t needed!
How is it different?
Coaches don’t tell you what to do. We know that you
know your life best. We ask the questions that will help
you think through what you really want and why it matters,
as well as what your next step should be. But if you need
some advice, we are here for that as well, with
professional credentials to support your journey. Coaches
help survivors using a strength based approach, which means
we don’t focus on “weaknesses” or what is
not working. We partner to think about what
will
work,
what gives energy, what motivates, and support consistent
action to facilitate the changes in a way that works for
you.
What are the credentials of your wellness
coaches?
Professional coaches are certified through
Wellcoaches, the
gold standard in health and wellness coaching. They are
exercise, nutrition, or health professionals
credentialed by a nationally recognized organization and
have training in cancer survivorship issues. Some have
the new Cancer Exercise Trainer certification by the
ACSM/ACS. Coaches only work within their scope of
practice, however, and will refer if necessary.
