Health and Wellness Coaching

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

By: Lyn Kelley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

There is a large and growing market in the U.S. and abroad for health and wellness coaching services. As the income and educational level rises among a population, there are more people who will desire and value professional assistance to achieve their goals. As the lifespan of people in the U.S. continues to get older, more and more people aged 55+ will want a health and/or wellness coach! By far, the greatest wealth in the U.S. is in the 55+ age bracket. And by far, these are the people who are most interested in their health. Most seniors (Baby Boomers) are willing to spend a large percentage of their income on staying healthy and living well. They say that once they get to a place of financial security, the most important thing in their lives (along with family) is their health. Most will spare no expense to keep themselves active and healthy. Many even say their health is MORE important than their wealth. They want to live longer and healthier for themselves, their friends, their activities, and their family as long as they possibly can. HEALTH is their new WEALTH.
