What does a health coach do?
Health & Wellness Coaches’ partner with clients seeking to enhance their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values. In the course of their work, health & wellness coaches display an unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, honoring the fact that each client is an expert on their own life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.

Why do I do this?
Myra Howard, LMT, MCNC
As an advocate of self-care and healthy lifestyle options; I am constantly reassessing the professional services I provide to my clients and community.
The COVID pandemic compelled me to reevaluate the scope of my massage therapy practice as well as my personal weight loss struggles.
During this time, I embarked on a journey to find my true self. Working from inside out, I recognized the excess weight was a reflection of my emotional life and how I was feeling inside. I began to incorporate healthier ways to address emotional stressors. The long-term objective was to create new and lasting habits to support my health goals and to live happily in my body. As a result of this work, I was able to lose 50 pounds and maintain my new lifestyle.
As I gradually lost the weight and became healthier and fit, I felt a strong desire to help others on their quest to be healthy and happy. This led me to become a Health & Wellness Coach.
From this new perspective I saw an opportunity to synergize Massage Therapy (outside in) and Self-Exploration (inside out) to assist clients in connecting with their whole self.
My primary work as a Holistic Health Coach is to help people make long term lifestyle changes, by looking at all aspects of their life. My role is collaborative, nonjudgmental and client centered.
The ultimate objective is optimal health, emotional insight, self-realization, and JOY.
