Careers as a Wellness Coach

Now a trillion-dollar industry, wellness is related to emotions and environment, finances
and occupation, mind and body, social and spiritual, all of which come together to
create an overall picture of well-being, or sometimes lack thereof.
Wellness coaches work with individuals to bring all of these factors into harmony,

fragmented pieces into a happy whole.
In particular, wellness coaches can focus on values, environments, skills, practices and
more that help their clients find the balance and fulfillment they’re seeking. Through
