Well-Being Coaching Is…

Acknowledging each student as an expert of their life, and honoring where everyone is on their well-being journey to support their goals in a respectful, nonjudgmental method. Well-being coaches partner with students in a client-coach relationship to work toward each student’s goals.

Well-Being Coaching Is Not…

Counseling, therapy, or giving medical, nutrition, or exercise prescriptions and diagnoses. Well-being coaches are trained to identify when needs of students fall outside their scope of practice and work with clients to connect them with the best campus resource, our partners in Counseling Services.

Who Is It For?

Coaching is for University of Oregon students who are seeking to partner with a coach to work on self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, to enhance their well-being.  Coaches will work with students to identify their current strengths and goals, and together create actionable steps to achieve their well-being goal.

Why do you want to help students with their well-being?
I chose to become a well-being coach because wellness is a priority for me, and I'm dedicated to helping others prioritize it too. Life can get incredibly stressful, and I never want anyone to feel like they're going through it alone. I believe that every student has the potential to become the best version of themselves and take charge of their lives. That's why I'm passionate about supporting them in their journey. I want to ensure that everyone has the most fulfilling college experience possible.

Why do you want to help students with their well-being?
I want to help students with their well-being because college (and life) can be overwhelming, but we don’t have to go it alone! I’ve learned a lot about health and happiness through the ups, downs, and in-betweens of my college experience, and I’m excited to help support my fellow Ducks in their own life journeys.

Campus involvement: Kappa Delta Sorority, Group X Cycle instructor at the REC, Running Club, research assistant at the Oregon Sleep Lab

Hobbies: Long-distance running, podcasting, reading, skiing, and cooking

Why do you want to help students with their well-being?
For many people, the idea of health is created by others—parents, doctors, peers, etc. I want to help students find what health and well-being mean to them while creating realistic goals to achieve their vision. I hope to empower my clients to live a healthier lifestyle that is true to them. I have expertise in long-distance running and marathon training for those individuals looking to train for long-distance racing.

Why do you want to help students with their well-being?
College can be chaos. I have been in the position before of having a million things I want to do or do better, but this can be hard when combined with all the other commitments that college brings. I want to help other students to improve their well-being and avoid the pitfalls I have fallen into.
