When I first signed up for my health coach session I immediately thought that I was going to have to set a weight loss goal, a goal to drink more water or exercise more often. When Caroline showed me the goal wheel with not only a physical section but sections such as mental, spiritual, social etc. I had a different goal in mind.

I thought she was equitable and patient during the session and that overall the session was effective. She always made me feel that I had good ideas to put towards my goal even when she suggested that I change it a little to make it more measurable, attainable etc. which made me realize she actually wanted to help rather than agree with me to make the meeting shorter.
