Integrative Health Coaching: Resource Guide for Navigating Complementary and Integrative Health (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780962588259)

This guide for health coaches is the first-ever resource about the supportive therapies and systems from the fields of integrative and complementary health. Written by faculty, graduate students and advisors of the California Institute of Integral Studies master's degree program in Integrative Health Studies, the book provides health and wellness coaches with valid information about modalities, research, history, philosophy, benefits, coaching tips, contraindications, typical treatments, costs, practitioner credentials and licensing requirements. Health coaches can have informed conversations with clients and their caregivers about the vast array of health-enhancing and supportive modalities available. Changing health habits is difficult for all of us, but for those coping with chronic illness, overhauling a lifestyle can be particularly demanding. Tapping into the safe, effective, and simple techniques described within these pages, such as, breathwork, reiki, guided imagery and mindfulness, can support wellbeing, optimal health, and the journey to a new normal.This book is not prescriptive, but an adjunctive resource with accessible information for health coaches as they work with teams of licensed health care providers. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
