Heart Health Coach

Transform Lives

Heart Health Coaching at the South Asian Heart Center is a pivotal role that facilitates lifestyle transformations in participants who seek to reduce health risk, improve weight, and promote wellness. The Coach encourages dialog, discusses challenges, and brainstorms solutions that they are likely to commit, adopt and sustain. Using Motivational Interviewing and the Baby Step approach, coaches manage change at a suitable, participant driven pace. Studies show that behavioral changes are easier with regular follow up by health coaches. Our data shows that culturally competent health coaching helped participants achieve statistically significant improvement in clinical markers and lifestyle behaviors.
