liveWELL launched the Health Coach Service at the University of Iowa in 2006, and since then has provided support and accountability to over 7,000 UI faculty and staff. Employees in 50% or greater regular appointments can meet with a health coach for up to 5 free visits every 12 months at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, Employee Health Clinic, or virtually on Zoom.

What to expect from Health Coaching?

A health coach is a non-judgmental and confidential partner who can help you make simple and sustainable changes, overcome obstacles, and explore strategies to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Health coaches work with you to develop your own personal approach to well-being, set realistic goals, and practice skills toward optimal well-being. Do you
want to increase your energy, make meaningful changes, avoid burnout, and get support towards a specific health goal? Take advantage of your benefit to meet with a health coach.

What are Health Coach participants saying?

"It is wonderful to work with a health coach because they listen and let you set whatever goals you want for yourself all while supporting
you, offering positive encouragement, and helping you navigate your wellness journey."

"A health coach will help you to achieve positive change, help you determine the best way to stay on track with your goals/habits, and offer resources and guidance that help relieve stress and anxiety."
