How Integrative Wellness Coaching Differs From Traditional Coaching

While traditional life coaching focuses primarily on goal-setting and forward action, integrative wellness coaching takes a both/and approach.

The Inside-Out and Outside-In Model

Integrative wellness coaching uses a unique framework that works from two directions simultaneously:

Outside-In: Creating behavioural changes, developing effective strategies, and taking concrete actions toward your goals. Fixing the outside ‘problem’

Inside-Out: Addressing core issues, limiting beliefs, negative patterns, and emotional wounds that create the lens through which you see the world and make decisions.

This dual approach is what makes the difference between temporary changes and lasting transformation. You're not just learning new strategies—you're actually shifting the internal landscape that determines how you show up in your life.

Traditional Coaching vs. Integrative Wellness Coaching

Traditional coaching might help you:

• Set and achieve specific goals

• Create action plans

• Develop accountability

• Improve time management

• Clarify your vision

Integrative wellness coaching does all of that, PLUS helps you:

• Identify and release limiting beliefs

• Heal emotional patterns and trauma responses

• Understand why you keep repeating certain patterns

• Rebuild inner safety and self-trust

• Create change from a place of wholeness, not just willpower
