What We Believe

At Health Coach Advantage, we believe optimal health is possible for anyone entering a coaching relationship with one of our Duke trained integrated health coaches. Our Duke trained coaches are experienced health care providers who now exclusively provide coaching in a client centered practice. The relationship with our clients begins with an initial long visit focused on the client’s own vision of their optimal health. The client defines their vision of desired health and the coach guides the client through a systematic use of Duke provided tools.

Many clients have spent a lifetime saving, planning and accumulating wealth for their later years through regular guidance from a financial planner. Yet until now, no one has had a conversation about creating a personalized optimal health plan for a richer, long life using a professional integrated health coach. This is what we do at Health Coach Advantage every day.

Why Integrative Health Coaching?

Our coaches believe a quiet revolution is transforming healthcare called “integrative medicine.” This is an integration of the best of Western scientific medicine with a broader understanding of the nature of illness, healing and wellness. It puts the client at the center of the care and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. This means our clients set the agenda for change in various health related behaviors. Our coaches bring the expertise, listening and guiding skills, accountability and tools to coach the client forward.

Integrated health coaching combines the holistic approach of integrated medicine with advanced training from Duke University in health coaching. The hallmark of integrative health coaching is working with the whole person, taking time to listen to the client’s concerns, asking powerful questions and using specialized skills to help motivate clients to achieve healthy lifestyle changes. Through a nonjudgmental coaching partnership, clients are empowered to reach their highest level of health. In addition, clients and coaches work in partnership to identify obstacles to change and create strategies for forward movement. In the end, integrative health coaching inspires change by connecting people with an optimal personalized health plan that supports their personal health vision and values.
