How to Look for (and find) the Best Latina Wellness Coach

It’s that time of year when we all want to tie up some loose ends, work hard towards our financial or career goals, and get as healthy as we can, nosierto? One of the surefire ways to reach your health or wellness goals is to find a wellness coach. What’s a wellness coach? it’s someone who you hire to help you reach goals that can range from fitness and lifting weights, to cleaning up your nutrition.

You may even go one step further and want a coach who is culturally aligned with you. They’ll be more in tune with the types of ingredients and dishes you and your family are used to eating and won’t try to force you to get rid of important cultural traditions.

What are some good guidelines for finding a Latina wellness coach?

1. Training Is On Point:
   First, check their formal education or certifications in their field (e.g., NASM, ACE, ISSA for fitness; RD for nutrition; certifications in holistic health coaching like IIN or NBHWC), and you want to also make sure that they stay on top of current research and trends through ongoing education. The last thing you want is a person who got their training via YouTube University or just trying to sell you stuff, or your tia down the block who wrote a blog post and now she’s a wellness influencer.
2. They Personalize it:
   Do they offer an individualized approach or a “one size fits all”? (Have you heard about that influencer that got caught giving her clients the same diet? Sinverguenza!).
3. They Actually Listen:
   They listen attentively to your concerns, explain concepts clearly, and ensure mutual understanding.They maintain professional boundaries, respecting your privacy and autonomy.They encourage open dialogue and are honest about their limits
4. They’re About Long Term Solutions:
   They give you long term changes in behaviors – not one off detoxes, caloric restrictions, or fad diets with no science backing.
5. Borders on Magic:
   They use and were trained via an evidence-based approach. What they preach is backed by actual legitimate science.
6. Their Rep Is Stellar:
   They have great reviews from past clients – and they don’t just do the “before and afters” photos. Google their name to make sure everything looks good and there are no weird red flags.
