"Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It involves living life in choice, with self-motivated action. Wellness Coaching is a process that assists in bringing into balance different domains of our lives – the physical, intellectual, social, emotional, occupational, and spiritual, to name a few – with breathing, feeling and sensing. Paying attention to body-mind connections presents important pathways to wholeness and change. The power of breath connects it all."
(Dr. Lauree E. Moss, Talk on Wellness Coaching, 2008)
In this six-week class, you will learn how to integrate the mind and body to deepen body-mind awareness, assisting clients to move forward with energy and aliveness, two cornerstones to a sense of well-being in life.
These tools can be used over the phone, in person and in most practice settings.
Everything we experience in life, all insights we have and actions we take, are connected to the body. There are two phrases that are often said about body-mind work:
-
The mind and body are one.
-
The body never lies.
Tools taught will promote centering and relaxation, breath awareness, self- care and strategies for stress reduction. Specific issues that are often brought to Wellness Coaching, such as coping with anxiety, life transitions, healthful living and finding balance and meaning will be covered.
ICF Coaching Core Competencies will be discussed, highlighted and demonstrated using body-mind coaching tools.
