The World Health and Healing Collaborative (WHHC) is offering the following programs for the summer of 2005. The goal of the programs is to train and certify Health Coaches who can practice either privately or in a variety of health care settings.
Health Coaches create cooperative partnerships. They see people as whole and value somatic awareness, and emotions as vehicles for self discovery and healing. They also integrate discussions of spiritual journey and life purpose into their healing practice. Although Health Coaches do not diagnose or treat illness, they can assist those with pathological conditions to enhance their health and change lifestyle patterns. Most importantly, Health Coaches teach, coach and support the development of self-direction and self care. They foster a safe relationship that allows for self acceptance, non-judgment and a perspective that embraces all aspects of life as relevant to health.
Start Date June 21, 2005 on Tuesdays at 8 PM EDT on the Phone Bridge
