Apr 5 The Rise Of Virtual Health Coaching

Our CG Zest Wellness team has their finger on the pulse in terms of wellness trends. We designed a virtual health coaching service, “Virtual Lifestyle Checkup”, to give our members exclusive access to a bespoke health coaching service remotely.

According to Harvard (1), health coaching is not a fad and is likely here to stay based on “strong evidence behind it backing its effectiveness for improving health and well-being”. The Global Wellness Institute (2) also claims that health coaching is on the rise. Our health coaching program “Virtual Lifestyle Check-up” has also witnessed an upward trend since its launch. So what is “health coaching”? What does it do and what do people say about participating in the CG Zest Wellness health coaching initiative? Let’s dive in.

COACHING IS MORE THAN A CONVERSATION

Health coaching is focused on “positive psychology” and uses “motivational interviewing” techniques which means the person being coached is in the driving seat. The coach guides the participant on what they CAN do as opposed to what they can’t in regard to goal setting and assists with realistic and healthy strategies to troubleshoot any roadblocks in improving their lifestyle for better health.

VIRTUAL COACHING IMPROVES HEALTH

Is there evidence that coaching works? A Harvard review claims YES and cites evidence from a clinical study that demonstrated that coaching can clinically improve multiple biomarkers in diverse populations.

Further evidence indicates, coaching “appears to be as effective when administered remotely by phone or the internet when compared with face-to-face coaching. This provides great flexibility, as coaching can be performed in person, over the phone, or via videoconferencing.” -Harvard, 2021.

CLINICALLY DESIGNED HOLISTICALLY IMPLEMENTED

Our program was designed by RN Sharon Looney who is certified in Motivational Interviewing and our coaching sessions are led by our Bermuda CG Zest Wellness Coordinator Coach Katie Doyle, who is also a Certified International Health Coach (CIHC). Katie’s strengths include her holistic approach to lifestyle modification with a people-centered approach to helping people live healthier lives. She is kind and our members love her personalized non-judgmental approach!

OUR PROGRAM HAS GROWN

Our program reach and attendance have grown in 2021. This means more people are gaining access to personalized lifestyle health and wellness coaching from the comfort of their homes (or offices)! Our virtual health-coaching program launched in Q4 2020 has since reached 6 Islands (BVI, TCI, Grand Cayman, Nassau, Freeport, and Bermuda) and increased participation from 52 participants to a total of 120 CG Zest Wellness participants by Q1 2021.

VIRTUAL IS CONVENIENT

Turns out that despite COVID-19 restrictions being lifted, this remote service is still popular amongst employees as they return to the workplace. We received requests for ongoing remote “wellness check-ins” to help stay on track with healthy lifestyle goals. We are thrilled that you want this convenient service as part of your new normal.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING

“It was a positive check-in to review my progress.”

“Having someone there to listen without feeling any judgment.”

“It provided a re-motivation to get my lifestyle back on track and maintain healthy habits.”
