Better Health and Vitality With Wellness Coaching

"We want to be well. We yearn to be in control and feel better. We want more energy," says Margaret Moore, founder of Well Coaches, the only health and wellness coaching certification program endorsed by the ACSM.

Being healthy is not a trend, it's a necessity and vital to our sense of well-being. Do you want to eat less, stop smoking or drinking, and reduce stress? More of us experience the pressures of our techological environments, heavy work schedules and loads of family commitments. These lifestyles build up stress, anxiety and irritability, which lead to a multitude of harmful habits.

Georgi Jackson-Gehrke is North County's premier Wellness Coach. As a certified Wellness Coach by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), she'll provide the knowledge, support and tools you'll need to get you back on track.

What is Wellness Coaching? 
Wellness Coaching is  "the art of creating an environment, through conversation and a way of being, that facilitates the process by which a person can move toward desired goals in a fulfilling manner."

Georgi's compassion, unique perspective, experience and training creates a safe and supportive environment for you. She'll do more listening than talking, more asking then telling, amd more reflecting than commenting.  Wellness Coaching is not advising clients on how to solve problems, nor educating clients about what they should do, nor analyzing the root causes of client predicaments.  Although advising, educating, or analyzing problems are one occasional part of coaching, they are neither the primary purpose nor approach of coaching. Georgi will help you discover your strengths, clarify your values, increase your awareness and design positive actions to meet your health-related goals.

What Coaching Isn't – The Expert Approach
Wellness Coaching is a powerful methodology when it comes to stimulating individual behavior.  Its primary focus is helping clients to grow and to become the experts in their own well-being.  Wellness Coaches do not analyze problems and give advice.

In the Wellness Coaching approach, the client is called to become the decision-maker and grow into the expert on the path forward as well as the final judge of success.  The goal of coaching is to encourage personal responsibility, deep thinking, self-discovery, and self-efficacy.  We want you to find your own answers and make your own success.
