What is wellness coaching?
Reach University offers wellness coaching to ensure that all candidates can thrive in their jobs, academic programs, and personal lives. Wellness coaching is a space to reflect on one’s life and identify areas in which one would like to create change.
We strengthen self-awareness, self-compassion, connection, personal agency, and purpose in order to make small changes and navigate challenging situations. Wellness coaches are there to guide your own self-reflection, identify strategies to improve your wellbeing, and offer resources or suggestions.
As educators, we know our work can be deeply fulfilling, and yet, we often give so much of ourselves to others that we don’t prioritize our own wellbeing.
Everyone has the right to experience wellness in all areas of their lives. We recognize that many of our candidates are facing systemic barriers to their wellness— and, we’re committed to helping educators push back on those barriers and advocate for themselves and others. Prioritizing our holistic wellbeing is critical to remain committed to this work.
Why might I want to work with a wellness coach?
Wellness coaching is a great support in coping with the external and internal challenges of being an educator and a Reach candidate.
Below are a just a few examples of why you might want to work with a wellness coach:
- You are interested in creating change in your life
- You find yourself giving so much to others that you de-prioritize your wellbeing
- You are navigating a challenging situation and want support
- You are struggling to balance all the demands of your life
Wellness coaching is a safe space to talk about work, school, and your personal life. Whether you’re struggling to balance the demands of your program, feeling overwhelmed by caregiving responsibilities at home, or looking for support in identifying your own values as an educator, a coach can be a great resource for you.
