We are currently offering wellbeing coaching sessions via Zoom!
Wellbeing coaching is now available to students as another avenue to help you reach your wellbeing goals. Topics for coaching include: physical activity, healthy eating habits, stress management, increased energy levels, better sleep, and increased mood – to name a few. You and your coach will work together to develop a vision for your overall wellbeing, to understand and use your strengths to make change, to find your internal motivation for change, and to set small, realistic steps to reach your end goal.
Your first session will last approximately 60 minutes, where your coach will help you understand the coaching process, review your intake assessment, and help you start setting goals. Follow-up sessions will last approximately 30-45 minutes. Your coach will work with you to decide how many sessions you will need to reach your goals.
Your comprehensive student health fee covers the cost of wellbeing coaching sessions. To receive wellbeing coaching, you must be a currently enrolled student for Fall, Winter, and Spring quarter sessions. For Summer quarter, you must either be currently enrolled or provide proof of return for the following Fall quarter.
Coaching appointments are available during regular office hours (Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm). To set up an appointment, or if you have questions, please contact one of our Wellbeing Coaches at wellbeingcoach@ewu.edu.

My approach to wellness coaching: I love to create an environment where students feel comfortable discussing their biggest dreams for their overall wellbeing, both now and in the future! I believe that every student is an individual and there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to personal wellbeing. My goal is to work as a team to help you find your greatest strengths and personal motivation to make those changes to meet your personal wellbeing needs. I think life is supposed to be fun, so I hope we can laugh a bit too!
What I hope to help students achieve:
- Personal sense of ownership over your wellbeing and the journey to achieving it.
- Positive outlook on your life at present and in the future through the use of positive psychology.
- Creation of a healthy balance of academic, social, and personal life to create success.

My approach to wellness coaching: Meeting students where they are at is very important to me; everyone’s journey is different and every student is unique. I love being able to have meaningful conversations that can draw out self-motivation for behavior change to create your best self, both now and in the future.

What I hope to help students achieve:
- New skills and motivation to create resilience.
- Safe alternatives for navigating highs and lows of life during college and beyond.
- Healthy balance between academic success, social life and personal wellbeing.
