Diploma In Wellness Coaching Skills
Diploma In Wellness Coaching Skills with author and tutor Laurel Alexander
The Diploma in Wellness Coaching Skills offers training in best practices for the application of basic coaching skills by healthcare providers. Given that 75% of healthcare costs are generated by preventable chronic diseases, it has never been more important for people to take responsibility for their health and reap the full benefits of optimal health and well-being. Professional coaches in healthcare and wellness form partnerships with clients to optimize health and well-being by developing and sustaining healthful lifestyles. Wellness coaches help clients enhance self-motivation and self-regulation, leverage strengths, navigate the journey of change, and build other psychological resources needed to change for good, including mindfulness, positivity, hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience.

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
