Health Behavior Change
Changing lifestyle behaviors is a powerful way to take control of your health. However, true behavior change is hard. There’s no quick fix or shortcut to lasting change. It’s a process that takes time and effort, and often some introspection.
Thankfully, there is plenty of evidence that explains how people change behaviors – for good. Drawing on a PhD in behavioral science, we work 1:1 with you to co-design Personalized Change Plans that stick. We help you build the positive psychological resources that facilitate self-change, now and in the future.
Whether you want to improve your diet, increase exercise, or manage stress, our evidence-based model supports you by tapping into the variables known to predict change.
The Five Core Elements of our Coaching Model:
1. Evidence-Based: We use academic models, effective behavior change techniques, science-based tools, and validated assessments. Our model is informed by The Transtheoretical Model, Self-Determination Theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology.
2. Personalized Change Plans: We co-design a Personalized Change Plan – with and for you – based on your stage of change, goals, context, motivation, and “3 Bs” (behavior, benefits, barriers). We provide the structure and support for each session, and layer in the science, but you lead the way.
3. Goal-Setting and Measurable Outcomes: We clarify your goals to make them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and approach-oriented so you can see results and maintain motivation. Expect to try out different tools for accountability.
4. Whole Well-Being Assessments: We start with an overall well-being assessment to identify what is most important to you right now, and why. This gives us baseline data to start a conversation about where you want to be in the future.
5. Personalized Behavioral Science: Coaching is generally a collaborative process, but we add in personalized behavioral science insights. We identify options to boost the effectiveness of your custom plan with science-based tools and strategies (e.g., temptation bundling, habit stacking, etc.). You decide what you want to try.
