 Health Coaching---It's for You!
Your HealthQuest Health Coaches can give you the tools you need to improve your health and well-being. Let us show you how we're different:
- We ask open-ended questions intended to help you discover your own reasons for change, rather than us telling you what you need.
- We focus on what has, can, and will work better for you
- We can help anyone excel at living their life.
Why should I work with a Health Coach?
- Unlike health fads that come and go, health coaching has strong evidence backing its effectiveness for improving health and well-being.
- It's available at no cost to you.
- If you are participating in the HealthQuest program, you could earn HealthQuest credits for working with a Health Coach!
