Why I wanted to be a Health Coach

I have never been so excited as to when I became a certified health coach. There were at least 4 reasons why I became a health coach:

1. I have a passion to live healthy.

As most of you know I had several wake-up calls before I decided that I was going to live healthy(also in another post). I wanted to understand what I was going through and what I needed to do daily. Soon I enrolled in the Dr. Sears Wellness institute. I felt that becoming a health coach would not only help me but others also. It took almost a year when I completed an intense program of becoming a master certified health coach. By doing this I have a better understanding of what I need to do for my own health and how I can help and encourage others on living a healthy lifestyle.

2. I have a passion to inspire others.

I love talking about health and I love sharing with others on how to live healthy. Every chance I get I share some health tip that I think would be beneficial to someone. I do this whether it be in person, on social media, my blog, presentations or other websites. I share because I care. I know no one is perfect because I’m sure not. I fail just as much as anybody when it comes to health, but my motto is and has always been ” One Simple change”! Just start somewhere even if it’s cutting back on something or beginning something new. The bottom line is that it’s all about mindset.

3. I have a passion to share my Journey.

I try to be very transparent. I want to share my failures as well as my successes when it comes to health. I feel if I can be open and honest with you then you will do the same with me.

4. I have a passion to come alongside you when I see that you are struggling with your health.

When I see others hurting, I hurt as well. I want to reach out and give you a hug if anything. I was diagnosed with cancer few years back and yes, I hate it! I hate living everyday knowing I have cancer, but I am not going to let cancer define me. I see so many who are struggling with all kinds of chronic diseases, and I do feel some of your pain as I live with it myself.

So that’s why I became a health coach. I want to inspire others to healthy living. I share the way I do because I care for you. Start living your best life now and begin to make one simple change to your health.
