Health and Wellbeing Coaches

Health and Wellbeing Coaches help people feel better and stay healthy. They motivate and guide people to change their habits, like eating better, exercising more, and managing stress. They set personal goals and help people achieve them. This is especially helpful for those with long-term health problems like asthma, diabetes, or feeling sad. Coaches also help with weight loss, diet, and getting more active.
