Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change

Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change remains a foundational text in health and wellness coaching. As CEO of UK & International Health coaching Association and as a Registered Health Coach, I value how this book clearly bridges coaching skills with behaviour-change science, offering practical tools that support client-centred, sustainable lifestyle change. The Wellness Mapping 360° approach continues to provide a robust framework for both emerging and experienced coaches. Highly recommended for anyone entering snd committed to professional, evidence-based health coaching.

I like the no-nonsense approach to important concepts and theories underlying wellness coaching, and the inspiring tone of voice of Dr Arloski. Whilst most of the content will sound familiar to the person who knows about coaching, and life coaching, the spirit that brings the different things together is really inspiring.

Great!

Still my go-to foundational text. Combines theory with real-world tools like motivational interviewing. I refer to it constantly for structuring client programs. If you're serious about impactful wellness coaching, you need this.

Bought this book for a course I'm taking - found it highly insightful and on point with my studies.

Arloski's work here is the foundation almost every legitimate health coaching program traces back to. He built the field, and this book is the map. I first read it years ago and still revisit it regularly. The strengths-based positive psychology framing of behavior change has held up across hundreds of client sessions, and the "coaching to the gap" framework was foundational for how I structure mine. New coaches will get clarity on the role and the methodology. Experienced coaches will find their fundamentals get sharper. Highly recommend.

I had the privilege to be trained as a health and wellness coach from Dr. Arloski through his company Real Balance Wellness a few years ago. Since then I have gone through their Advanced and Mentor coach trainings. I feel extremely fortunate that I was trained in their methodology. I am currently utilizing my coaching skills as I start up a health coaching program in a teaching hospital's primary care setting. I used Dr. Arloski's original book as my coaching Bible. As I read through his second edition I am just as impressed. He makes wellness attainable to all of us by his deep understanding of behavioral health. The references to other founders in the wellness field and mentions of helpful resources truly makes this book an invaluable resource. He has done all the hard work for us coaches and passed it on to us in this book. Every time I read a new chapter and apply it in the coaching session, myself and the client benefit. This book is a go to guide for all coaches and for anyone who wants to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

Great book
