Abstract
The article aims at making two main points. Firstly, to introduce wellness coaching after establishing the limitations of life coaching as regards wellness goals, therefore, suggesting additional training in wellness terms for those who wish to work in the particular field as coaches. The analysis of the current societal manifestation of an unhealthy lifestyle also pronounces the emergence of wellness coaching as the nudge sought for by scientists looking for a suppliant to the expert approach and the mere reference of evidence-based knowledge in order to create a permanent healthy lifestyle shift.
This article is intended for coaches seeking to deliver more specific value to their clients aiming at making a healthy lifestyle shift and suggesting that specialty training in wellness coaching for professional nutritionists, fitness trainers and sports coaches may accelerate the wellness process and success rate of their clients.
