Diploma In Wellness Coaching
Skills with author and tutor Laurel Alexander
Wellness coaching is an emerging and vibrant area of healthcare.
It takes healing beyond the curing of symptoms and empowers clients
to take their health back into their own hands.
This course redefines wellness as an integrated lifestyle and
mindset process and shows that wellness coaching can be a profound
and
practical way to help clients make meaningful changes to their
health. The course offers a wellness coaching toolbox, teaching
key skills such as how to create an organic personal wellness
plan, how to build client rapport, and how to apply different
coaching
models effectively to guide each client towards better health
and wellbeing.
WHO THE COURSE IS FOR
This course is suitable for any conventional or complementary
healthcare/wellness professional, coach, tutor or therapist wanting

given me the confidence to coach as I have had such positive
feedback from my case studies. Kate Tierney, writer

- I have learnt a massive amount around health and wellbeing,
much of which I refer to regularly, either generally and/or when
coaching, particularly around nutrition, activity, the benefit
of good quality vitamins and supplements, value of relaxation

put together and presented course which will add value to your
coaching practice and personal health and wellbeing. Cathy Lawson,
