Long Island Holistic Health Coach For Women

By Jocelyn Davidson


The mix of urban excitement and rural tranquility should make life on Long Island NY idyllic. However, many women there are struggling to get through the day, whether they have a career or take care of a family. Working with a holistic health coach for women can help them regain a sense of purpose and take control of things that can be resolved. For people who want to help others, this field can be an exciting and fulfilling profession.

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.

Help is available from psychotherapy, social workers, doctors, and spiritual counselors. However, holistic coaching offers benefits of all of these as well as a more intimate approach. The main idea is to help clients learn to deal with both past and present difficulties, rather than offering help with present circumstances or understanding past wounds. Research shows that this kind of comprehensive coaching helps with many health, mental, and emotional problems.

The foundation of this sort of coaching - coming alongside the client while problems are worked through - is what is termed 'motivational interviewing'. Initial coaching sessions are in-depth exchanges that help clarify the causes of depression, feelings of failure, lack of self-control when it comes to dealing with weight or health issues, and other signs of trouble. These sessions begin the necessary trusting relationship between coach and client.

This success can be in maintaining health, coping with illness, shaking off negative self-talk, defining values and desires, setting goals, and creating a path for improvement. Physical, emotional, mental, and even financial concerns can all play a part. The underlying principle is that the client has the ability to regulate things for the better once obstacles are recognized, a program for gradual improvement is instituted, and motivation is created.

Having the ear of a trained professional is helpful, since many don't understand themselves until the focus is taken off problems and directed to inner vision and thwarted hopes. Coaching can help people articulate the desires of their heart, which can become goals. Setting a program to achieve these goals and evaluating progress will involve both parties.

Anyone with the desire to help others can enter this field. It's very helpful for nurses, medical assistants, pharmacists, personal trainers, psychologists, and physical therapists. Being certified in coaching also gives people the legal right to advise others in health matters and ways to heal.

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.
