EDS Wellness’ Health and Wellness Coaching Programs EDS Wellness incorporates the seven dimensions of wellness in our public health campaigns, health education programs, related initiatives, and when we work with patients one-on-one. We help individuals, families, caregivers, and medical professionals understand the importance of incorporating all aspects of wellness. EDS Wellness brings together information from all types of providers to "coach" a patient through the journey to improving their overall health and well- being. “Health and Wellness Coaches partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well- being. In the course of their work health and wellness coaches display unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, and honoring that each client is an expert on his or her life while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non- judgmental.” (SOURCE - International Consortium for Health & Wellness Coaching) EDS Wellness offers private patient advocacy services, integrative health & wellness coaching and counseling sessions, and online group classes and seminars for nominal fees. To learn more about our patient advocacy and health and wellness coaching services, or our online group classes and seminars, please go to Learn with EDS Wellness.
