Wellness & Holistic Life Coaching Flashcards

A holistic life coach helping a client with burnout would MOST likely:

Answer: Explore energy sources and drains across all life dimensions

A holistic coach addresses burnout by exploring energy sources and drains across all life dimensions—work, relationships, health, purpose—to identify root causes and sustainable solutions.

The practice of mindfulness is incorporated into holistic life coaching primarily because it:

Answer: Increases present-moment awareness supporting change across life dimensions

Mindfulness enhances present-moment awareness, which supports clients in noticing patterns and making intentional changes across physical, emotional, and mental dimensions.

Which statement BEST reflects the holistic coaching principle of 'client as expert'?

Answer: The client is the authority on their own life and the coach facilitates their self-discovery

The 'client as expert' principle holds that clients are the authorities on their own lives, and the coach's role is to facilitate self-discovery rather than to direct or advise.

A holistic coach working with a client on financial wellness would ALSO explore:

Answer: How financial stress connects to the client's relationships, health, and values

A holistic coach explores how financial wellness interconnects with relationships, stress, physical health, and values rather than providing specific financial advice.

The concept of 'integration' in holistic wellness coaching means:

Answer: Creating harmony and alignment among all life dimensions rather than optimizing one area at the expense of others

Integration in holistic coaching refers to creating harmony and alignment among all life dimensions so that improvements in one area support and reinforce the others.

When a client achieves a major goal but feels unexpectedly empty afterward, a holistic coach would explore:

Answer: The alignment between the achieved goal and the client's deeper values and sense of purpose

Unexpected emptiness after goal achievement often signals a misalignment between the goal and the client's deeper values or purpose, a core area of holistic coaching exploration.

In holistic life coaching, 'environmental wellness' refers to:

Answer: The impact of one's physical and social surroundings on overall well-being

Environmental wellness in holistic coaching refers to the impact of a client's physical spaces, living conditions, and social surroundings on their overall health and well-being.
