Ep.#12-Coach Tavia Morse-Functional Nutrition Health Coach talks w/Deana Lansing & Tara Canode-shoul

In this episode, Tavia sits down with two special guests to clarify the differences between a health coach and a counselor. In today’s world, there is confusion when it comes to who can help you when you need help. There are similarities but also a lot of differences. We discuss the differences so that individuals can decide which route is best for them to do when seeking help.

Both Deana and Tara have incredible caring hearts and that is clear in this interview. Both agree that any individual seeking help for life or health is a first step to change. It’s always about taking the step for change and for things to change, the individual must be receptive and willing to change.

Counseling has been around for many years. There are different types of therapists out there and it can be a challenge to find someone that fits your needs. However, the core concept is you are seeking help from someone that is unbiased, professional, and qualified to help get you the right help you so desire and need. Tara talks more about this in the episode as well as how important finding a professional counselor is crucial for certain situations whereas a health and life coach may not be able to address the deeper issues.

Health and Life coaching on the other hand has been a relatively newer career field and it’s not clearly defined to most as to what they do. Deana gives specific examples of how health coaches are bridging that gap between patients and doctors. That overwhelm of getting a medical diagnosis perhaps like diabetes, but then patients not knowing what’s next with lifestyle and health habits to manage their health. Health/life coaches are your guide to changing habits as well also offer accountability on a weekly basis. Their goal is to not give you the answers but yet let you discover where you need to make change happen.
