So what is a Health and Wellness Coach?

It is probably best to start with what I am not. I am not a mentor, counselor, consultant, or teacher. I am not a Health Guru. Anyone can call themselves a Coach. It is an unregulated title. However, most coaches are not a Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. I am proud to be a NBC-HW Coach, having met specific program requirements and passing a rigorous exam. I have an in-depth education in the many science-based practices that improve both our health and how we grow and change as humans. So, what does that mean to you? You can be assured you are in “good hands.” I have mastered the core competencies that will serve you best in the coaching process.

And so, coaching is?

It is a process of discovery by using active listening skills, being asked powerful questions, expanding your thought processes, identifying limited beliefs, designing action steps, and following up. I will listen to help you generate ideas. All that self-talk you constantly hear will be addressed. You will be empowered to expand your thinking and therefore get you to the point of doing what you want to do along with doing what you know you should do. This is referred to as a break-though. Are you looking for yours?

Why You?

If you would like to feel better, function better, move forward and change your outlook in life using professionally-provided methods, lifestyle management techniques and proven strategies to help you transform desires into achievable goals through effective actions and strategic plans that will lead to improvements in ability and productivity across multiple measurable criteria, you have come to the right place! (Wow, that was a mouthful!)

I am passionately committed to helping people like you, change your life by helping you adopt to a better and healthier lifestyle. Let’s chat to see if this is a good fit!

Why Me?

Hi, I am Marla. I am a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I help people get to where they want to be. For most people it is not about “why” they want to improve their health, energy, confidence, or other concerns, but “how” to go about achieving these goals.

The feeling of not be connected to your own “should do’s” can keep you from reaching your potential and having someone help you on your journey, is often paramount. I most often work with people that have chronic conditions. Most of these people have chronic inflammation. Many studies suggest that chronic inflammation could play a role in a range of conditions, from cancer to asthma.

Chances are you also suffer from STRESS, the #1 health crisis, not just on Long Island, but across the world. In fact, many studies have shown that “ongoing stress is linked to the 6 leading causes of death.”  More than 75% of doctor’s office visits are for stress related ailments and complaints. It silently controls our life, but   you can take your power back!

Let’s become partners so you can gain the knowledge, skills, tools and confidence to become  an active participant in your health. Reaching your health and wellness goals is possible!
