What is Integrative Life Coaching?
Integrative life coaching is a professional relationship where the coach provides tools, structure, and accountability to help the client achieve goals, get unstuck, or explore future possibilities. Coaching may take place in-person, on the phone, or via secure online portal.Integrative Life Coaching is an enhanced version of Life Coaching, integrating bodymind principles and health and wellness principles.
A typical coaching session begins with a brief check-in and grounding. Coach and client then review progress on items from the previous session. The client is asked to state a goal for focus for the current session, and the bulk of the time is spent on that focus. The session wraps up with established commitments and ways to provide accountability. Coaching may either be structured as a set number of sessions targeted at one specific goal, or it may be an ongoing relationship that supports the client in longer-term growth.
