FAQs
Q: What are lifestyle management services?
A: Individual lifestyle consultants provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce rewarding results in their lives. Our lifestyle management consultants help people improve their performance and enhance the qualify of their lives. We are trained to listen, to observe and to customize our approach to individual client needs. We seek to elicit solutions and strategies from you and believe you are naturally imaginative and resourceful. Our job is to provide support to expand the skills, resources and creativity that you already have.
A: Our focus is on the present and future, whereas counseling tends to look to the past for answers. Our areas of emphasis include:
- Defining goals
- Formulating a plan that will use your skills
- Holding you accountable for progress
- Providing structure, encouragement and support
- Allowing you to determine how to use healthy ways to design and navigate your life
A: Typically, personal training focuses on the physical component of a healthy lifestyle rather than addressing an integrated perspective of wellness (again, this does not pertain to all personal training professionals). We help you develop a customize lifestyle design with the goal of substituting your current behaviors with new habits and an understanding of how to adapt and adjust your design to the changing needs of your life. Once you master this process, you can apply it over and over again throughout your lifetime. Although we can provide personal training instruction, we view our services as complementary to personal training.
A: If you are looking to prevent illness and maximize your overall health, we can help. We help identify your challenges and then work in partnership with you to obtain your goals. You will set your own goals, come up with an accountability strategy and direct us to where you need the most support. Life Design consultants help you work through the daily obstacles that have historically gotten in the way of your success.
A: We offer personalized and targeted services to help individuals make lifestyle changes that can be lasting. Lifestyle consultants partner with you in a planned and action-oriented process tailored to your needs and life circumstances. To achieve your specific goal, you would be trained in areas where you have been the most challenged. We offer Diagnostic Services to determine your specific obstacle(s) and how to use your current strengths to address these more successfully in the future. Our Program Designs outline health and fitness routines for a variety of situations. Lifestyle Coaching emphasizes the psychology of behavior change and how to integrate and maintain new behaviors consistently. Specialty Programs
attempt to work in areas we have seen to be problems plaguing most of our clients--time management, program flexibility, and gaining support from others.
A: No. In addition to individual services, we offer behavior change consulting and trainings. We will consult with organizations, corporations, or communities and train their staff or members. We can make concrete recommendations to improve communication about, and instruction on, lifestyle changes to employees and members. Our workshops and seminars inform, entertain, and motivate staff or community members because they generate new ideas and encourage action that can be maintained.
