Abstract

Health coaching, a recent addition to the field of health education, provides a missing link in the healing journeys of patients. Integrative health coaching incorporates vision and values into a person's goal setting process. While health coaches frequently work with healthy people who want to make changes in their lives such as finding time to exercise or getting more sleep, this narrative focuses on a health coach working with the emotional needs of physical therapy patients in a hospital.
