Wellness Coaching – Staying Well through the Covid-19 Pandemic

The Bastyr Center for Natural Health is offering Wellness Coaching as a free service. While a $5-20 donation to the university is requested, no one will be turned away during this time.

Their wellness coaches support people in achieving specific goals in their personal wellness. Coaching goals may include:

• Dealing with stress related to COVID-19 changes
• Enhancing mindfulness practices
• Creating healthy self-care practices while staying home
• Improving relationships and social connection.

The clinic is ideally suited to provide short-term wellness coaching via online video meetings. Sessions are 45-minutes long, and typically meet once each week for no more than 10 weeks. Student coaches are supervised by a licensed mental health clinician who oversees the sessions. Supervisors may refer for counseling services if appropriate.
