All naturopaths are wellness coaches. It is the role of the naturopath to help facilitate change and growth; coaching is an integral part of being a naturopath. From a coaching perspective, positive psychology, understanding the mind-body connection, and addressing behaviours of change, are all essential on the journey to health and wellbeing. Wellness coaching includes, but is not limited to:
- •Understanding and evaluating ones’ relationship with food and nutrition
- •Recognising stress response patterns for the individual
- •Facilitating mindfulness, relaxation, and implanting suitable ‘coping’ mechanisms.
