What is a Life Coach?

A life coach is a lot like a fitness coach or personal trainer.  A personal trainer is there to guide you and offer support in order for you to do the work necessary to achieve your fitness goals. They have spent time working on their own fitness and are able to impart practical techniques that can help you on your journey. A life coach does the same thing with different aspects of your life.

A life coach is a guide. Someone to help you find self awareness, set meaningful goals, and keep you on track to achieving them. Life coaching is action oriented.

Just like a fitness coach is not a medical professional, a life coach is not a psychologist or medical therapist and should not replace a doctor in situations that require medical care. The role of a life coach is not to diagnose mental health concerns or prescribe medication. It is to help you find the answers you need to build the life you want.

 Life coaches are not medical professionals.
