The Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (AWCIM) is inspiring the pursuit of health and the transformation of healthcare.
We define Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching (IHWC) as a client-centered, relational approach to working with individuals collaboratively to address the health and wellbeing of the whole person. It acknowledges the interdependent roles of mind, body and spirit, and the innate healing capacity within each person, with an emphasis on self-care.
Self-care focuses on 7 core areas that affect health and wellbeing: sleep, movement, nutrition, spirituality, environment, relationships, and resiliency.
Coaches can have a huge impact in addressing the epidemic of lifestyle related diseases by empowering individuals to make positive behavioral changes in order to take charge of their health and wellbeing.
We are asking for your support for incoming students to IHWC
This term, we have three promising students, Erin Mirando, Jacquelyn Smith, and Marie-Joséphine Royall-Schreck who are facing a bit of a financial crunch, so we’ve decided to launch a crowdfunding effort to help them out with their expenses.
How can you help? By donating right now. Every little bit will help these inspired students on their quest to help others!
