What Is a Holistic Life Coach?

The term holistic refers to “holism” or being “whole.” Therefore, holistic coaching is professional life coaching that looks at things from a holistic perspective. Holistic coaches don’t just focus on one specific area of life but consider the mind, body, and spirit all at once.

Clients turn to holistic coaching sessions to improve their overall sense of well-being and achieve greater harmony and fulfillment in their lives. Through holistic coaching, clients can learn how to be healthier (physically and mentally), overcome limiting beliefs, and grow spiritually.

Some people use the terms “holistic life coach” and “spiritual life coach” interchangeably, but “holistic” is preferred if you want to take a holistic approach to coaching, since the term “spiritual” might be associated with religion. Holistic coaching isn’t designed to help clients with their faith specifically but to enhance their spiritual life and achieve balance.

Holistic health is an approach to life that considers multidimensional aspects of wellness. It encourages individuals to recognize the whole person: physical, mental, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual. The individual is an active participant in their health decisions and healing processes, including wellness-oriented lifestyle choices. Holistic approaches to health are derived from ancient healing traditions that help to achieve higher levels of wellness and prevent disease. These approaches include use of traditional medical systems, mind-body-spirit interventions, manipulative and body-based approaches, biological based therapies and energy therapies. Most of these approaches are used in combination with each other and with conventional medicine to provide a holistic and integrated approach to health. These traditional holistic approaches focus on the use of food, herbs, supplements, teas, homeopathic remedies, and essential oils as “medicine”. Movement, dancing, singing or chanting, sound and vibration, drumming, prayer, meditation, mindfulness, and touch are examples of activities that are included in holistic approaches. Holistic approaches include but are not limited to: acupuncture, acupressure, biofeedback, massage therapy, chiropractic physicians, manual therapy, naturopathic physicians, meditation, guided imagery, yoga, therapeutic touch, reiki and other energy therapies, and ayurveda.
