Coaching Is…
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. ICF certified coaches incorporate 11 recognized coaching competencies into the Mind of Means Coaching methodologies.
The Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) in collaboration with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) trains health coaches to utilize the principles of Functional Medicine coupled with positive psychology techniques to partner with their clients while educating, motivating and guiding them to make sustainable lifestyle changes to achieve their health and wellness goals. Functional Medicine (FM) is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that looks beyond symptom resolution to identify why illness occurs and seeks to address those root causes to restore health. This may include exploring diet, exercise, stress and sleep habits.
