Working with Grounded: a Q+A
Grounded founder, Lisa Malin, takes the questions —
What is a wellness coach?
Wellness Coaching focuses on an individual's path to health + happiness. The work centers around issues for + about your body, your overall health + general well-being —
What makes Grounded unique?
Grounded is a place where clients come to identify their wellness goals and to understand the WHY behind those goals. It is that understanding that helps them to make positive changes and begin to reach those goals. Wellness coaching with Grounded is not a diet or a fad. It’s not calorie counting and strict meal planning and it’s definitely not a one size fits all approach. sometimes it is not even about food. But it is always about helping clients realize small accretive gains on their personal path to wellness.
How does the Grounded program work?
We begin with a free 30-minute consultation either by phone or in person so that a client can learn more about the coaching experience and determine if it’s right for them. Research shows it takes a minimum of 3 months for positive changes to take hold. We suggest a 3-month package of 6 sessions to begin.
What happens after the first 3 months?
Coaching is about making small, manageable, self-directed shifts in alignment with personal goals to create lasting change. In other words, it takes time! After the first 3 months, we discuss the client's wish for the subsequent 3 months — allowing them to go deeper, grow and work on other areas/goals.
Does Grounded take a 360-degree approach?
Without a doubt! As a coach, I look at each client as an individual and ask the client to do the same when looking at their life. If one area is out of alignment, for example sleep, it can mess with weight loss goals, mood, willpower, even productivity. The same with a stressful job, disorganized Refrigerator or pantry, sedentary lifestyle, chronic, long work hours or Travel. One area affects the other. It’s a dialogue that leads to understanding + change.
A balanced approach — what does that mean?
When we talk about being Grounded, we talk about a balanced approach — to lifestyle, nutrition + health. We PARTNER WITH YOU to create unique, agreed-upon action steps that lead from goal setting to change, uncovering any road blocks along the way and figuring out new ways to work over and around them. There is never any judgement and we celebrate even the smallest wins in the pursuit of a healthier, balanced lifestyle.
If I like the sound of wellness coaching what should I do next?
I offer an initial free 30-minute consultation. If you seek a more balanced life, let's speak. I would welcome the opportunity to meet you in a totally judgement-free setting and see how we might work together.
