  • "I've taken many classes in the past 30 years and this is truly the first time that I couldn't wait for the next day's class to begin."

  • "I feel like here we can experiment and take risks without fear and become the best we can be."
  • "This class was a gift. It was exactly what I needed right when I needed it. I came here to learn how to motivate and change other people's lives and I transformed my own."
  • "I've learned more tools and techniques in the last few months than I learned in the three years I spent in my masters program. And, this is more enjoyable."

    Our Coaching Philosophy:

    Coaching is a process that guides movement forward by sourcing answers from the individual. It is base on the belief that each person is resourceful and whole. They hold the answers to their individual questions and life challenges inside of themselves. It is the coach's role to ask powerful questions that cause reflection and take the person inward to access their own wisdom. Through this process, the client discovers methods for moving forward and achieving goals. And, the coach stands beside them encouraging, supporting, acknowledging them while holding them accountable so that they uncover and reach their true potential.

Wellness Coaching Results

In 2007 and again in 2008 Learning Journeys had the opportunity to train wellness coaches in Cumberland, WI. The following are the results from their Healthier Cumberland Coalition intiative.

Results from Wellness Coaching:

8 (HLC) classes were completed: 76 total participants.

62 completed 16-week course
(76% female & 24% male)

53 participated in Metabolic Syndrome re-screening

Mean starting weight: 198.0
Mean ending weight: 186.4

Mean starting total cholesterol (TC): 192.4
Mean ending TC: 177.8

Mean starting low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C): 114.9
Mean ending LDL-C: 105.9

Mean starting number of metabolic syndrome risk factors: 2.5
Mean ending number of metabolic syndrome risk factors: 1.7

Three community classes are currently in session. More are scheduled for this fall. Additionally, two Cumberland worksites have offered coaching programs with HCC trained health coaches.

A survey was mailed to the 30 participants that had completed the four initial HLC classes in prior to January 2008.

Of those respondents that met a goal for weight loss during the HLC classes (n = 19), 68% report they've maintained their weight loss within 5# of what it was at the end of the class, 21% report having lost additional weight, and 11% report a weight gain 5 - 10#.

·Additionally, (a) 65% (n = 13) have increased or maintained physical activity levels within 15 minutes per week of what they were at the end of the HLC class; (b) 90% (n = 18) have increased or maintained fruit and vegetable consumption within one serving per day of what it was at the end of the HLC class; and (c) 75% (n = 15) have reduced or maintained the amount of fat grams they consume each day within 5 grams of what it was at the end of the HLC class.

Finally, 75% (n = 15) of respondents have attended at least one of the HLC maintenance classes initiated in February 2008 with 35% (n = 7) rating their helpfulness as "excellent" and 25% (n = 5) as "good".
