What is Executive Wellness Coaching (EWC)?

EWC is a personalized and comprehensive approach to support your well-being & performance, for those in leadership positions (or those aspiring to be) who want to make a bigger impact in the world without letting their health sit on the sidelines.

EWC combines coaching techniques and practical strategies to enhance your overall health & well-being. Together will will work to improve your Whole Health using my 5 pillar system, which looks at physical, nutritional and mental health habits, as well a stress management tools, sleep hygiene, and meaning & contribution as essential pillars to your overall health.

How is EWC Different than other coaching options?

  1. Holistic Approach: EWC takes into account various dimensions of wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, and meaning & contribution, recognizing that these are interconnected and influence each other. In order to create a sustainable healthy lifestyle balanced with a fulfilling career, all areas need to be addressed.

  2. Goal Setting and Action Planning: Together we’ll identify your wellness goals that will support your career and life goals and create a structured action plan that leads you towards them. We’ll develop a monthly action plan that supports each in an interconnected way, allows them to grow and develop in a positive direction for you and your life.

  3. Accountability and Support: Ongoing support and accountability is often the missing key to progress. Developing new habits and processes takes time to implement successfully. My job as your coach is to help you stay on track with your wellness goals. This may involve regular check-ins, progress assessments, and adjustments to the action plan as needed.

  4. Skill Building: Executive wellness coaching often includes teaching specific skills and techniques for managing stress, enhancing resilience, improving communication, fostering better relationships, and increasing overall effectiveness as a leader. My background as a personal trainer and health coach, along with my ICF Leadership Coach designation gives me a well-versed background to help you build the habits and skills you need to be efficient, productive, and successful, without letting your health sit on the sidelines.

  5. Work-Life Integration: Recognizing the demands of executive roles, the coaching process may also address strategies for achieving better work-life balance and preventing burnout.

  6. Measurable Outcomes: Executive wellness coaching typically aims to achieve measurable improvements in the executive's well-being, performance, and overall quality of life. This may involve tracking key metrics such as stress levels, energy levels, productivity, job satisfaction, and physical health indicators.

Overall, executive wellness coaching is about empowering leaders to optimize their well-being and performance so they can thrive personally and professionally.

Feeling stuck and need some direction? Strategy? A path forward?

The ‘Start the Shift’ trio coaching package is the perfect place to start whether you’re feeling like your health needs a breath of fresh motivation, or if your job is sucking your soul but you don’t even know what you could possibly do instead. If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed to the max (you know that feeling when your tears are welling up behind your eyes and if a mosquito landed on your hand it would be enough to start the waterfall of emotions coming out), this intro coaching package is for you.

Life is too short to live like this, and you know it.

You just don’t know what to do. How to clear space to think about what option or path is best for you. You just know where you are, isn’t where you want to stay.

Don't worry, you don't need to have an idea, a path, or a plan. We'll discover that together. We'll come up with an action plan that makes sense for you and allows you the space, creativity and freedom to explore whatever it is that is calling you.

I can't wait to see where this first step of contacting me, takes you!

I have developed and use my unique Energy Engagement Loop Framework to look at the bigger picture and pull together various elements of your life, that bring clients more engagement, satisfaction, and 'holy crap I love life energy'!  

We'll work together to review the 5 pillars of health and see what barriers are holding you back, what habits you can adopt to move past them, and what small changes will have the biggest impact on you and your life.

Some clients are crushing it in their career but at the sacrifice of their health. They know putting some energy into improving their health will help their productivity, creativity, and impact, but it’s hard to know where to start, especially when time is at such a premium.

Some clients are looking for a hobby to pour their soul into, others want to start a side gig but get caught up in the details of how to start, and some clients want to change careers but aren't sure what path to go down. All my clients are driven, get ‘er done type people. They are ambitious and successful in many areas of their lives, but they just can’t seem to put that energy into themselves or their health. It’s the missing link that as much as they hate to admit it, they could use some help on.

What makes my approach different is I’m the coach that helps you level up your career & life, through the lens of improving your overall health so the ripple effects can be felt in multiple areas of your life.

Let's work together so you can have more energy, less stress, a bigger impact, and more balance in your life.

Energy Engagement Loop

My Coaching approach is different than others you’ve likely worked with in the past. I take a holistic big picture view of your life, habits, systems, communities and stressors and then zoom out to see how these are impacting your goals.

Together we will examine various areas of your life and work through obstacles that could be holding you back from a life that is calm, fulfilled, energized, engaged, abundant, and amazing.

There’s more out there for you, you know it.

Let’s work together to shift your life in that direction.

SCHEDULE A CHAT

Sometimes it’s easier to jump on the phone and have a quick chat. We all have about 4000 more emails than we’d like in our inboxes. Let’s cut through the clutter and connect, human to human.

I want to learn more about you, your goals and why you’re interested in working with me. And I’ll share how I work with clients, what you’ll get out of the experience and of course, answer any questions you might have.

FAQ

  • Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process where you work in partnership with a coach that helps to inspire you and maximize your personal and professional potential.

    The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.

    An important distinction is that coaching is not therapy. Therapy helps you process past situations, feelings & issues. Where as coaching recognizes where you are currently at now, and helps you look forward into the future & move towards the goals, relationships, and lifestyle that you desire.

  • Yes, of course! The ‘Start the Shift’ trio package is a great spot to start if you’d either like to get a bit of direction, and strategy in one area. Or if you are curious about coaching and want to give it a try.

  • The ‘Start the Shift’ trio coaching package is valid for three months from date of purchase.

    You’ll be given a link to schedule your sessions and you can book one a week for three weeks consecutively, or you can do one a month for thee months. Up to you.

  • Yes, definitely. I offer two different coaching options.

    Whole Health Coaching is focused on building healthy habits that support a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

    Executive Wellness Coaching (EWC) opens the conversation up to the bigger picture. Where do you feel stuck, limited, or out of alignment. How is your life feeling out of alignment, and what are some actionable steps you can take to move you in a better direction?

    Sometimes shifting something in your health can have a domino effect into other areas of your life.

    Sometimes we focus on our health because it feels like something tangible we can shift, and affect, when other things feels unmanageable or out of our control (when in fact we likely have more say in those areas than we realize). Often I see clients chase health or weight loss, when in reality, losing 10 lbs won’t make you magically happy and loving your job.

    EWC looks at the bigger picture and how you can improve your overall health and wellness so you can make a bigger impact in your career and in life, creating a life that you love to live.

  • "She is organized, dependable, thoughtful, patient and clearly very skilled in her craft. I appreciate that she is able to design a program that is suitable for my abilities, challenging me but never pushing me beyond what I can safely do."

    Susan

  • "Working with Marisa has been like a slow but steady revolution. I needed to learn how to heal my relationship with food & meal prep, and I wanted to get healthier. And using her resourcefulness, versatility, and excellent coaching skills Marisa was able to get me on the right road. She teaches you how to use your own resources to reach your goals at a pace you can sustain. I was worried I wouldn't get a great workout, but I can feel the burn!"

    Rana

  • "I’ve been able to change my whole perception around food and making healthy balanced choices. Your add in habits are simple and easy to consider and implement. I’ve upped my overall daily steps, weekly workouts, amount of veggies I get daily, I feel more confident and was able to start doing things I love again in all different facets of my life. I’ve lost weight, I’m happier, I feel stronger, I feel less stressed and I have a better over all balance in my life again. Most importantly, I have started creating a positive relationship with food and am able to work through all the food guilt I was carrying around in my life."

    Jessica

  • "While I had been consistent with regular exercise, I was frustrated with my poor eating habits and looking for support. Marisa's approach is not prescriptive or restrictive. Implementing small changes and building on successes from week to week are some of the strategies that have made the biggest difference for me. Marisa's sensible guidance can give you tools to nourish yourself so you can do the things you want to do."

    Jill

  • "Marisa designs work out regimes that are customized on what my needs are in the moment but also focused on my fitness goals. So, if I’ve come off a long run, she adapts my training to account for tired legs or any specific problem areas I’m experiencing. Her enthusiasm and energy makes it fun and exciting and helps challenge me. Her holistic approach integrates strength training, cardio, yoga and nutrition. There’s nothing more motivating than reaching my goals and Marisa has been an integral part of my journey."

    Cindy

  • "My recent goals were to learn to use my condo gym equipment safely and properly in order to make this a regular addition to my exercise program. I now feel more fit, stronger, happier and equipped to take this on. I highly recommend Marisa, she is able to work with you on the goals that are important to you and make it fun at the same time!"

    Karen

  • "I’m so proud that all that my hard work might be helpful to other people! It’s a great testament to you – truly an appropriate vignette to use to introduce people to your highly effective and compassionate approach to personal training."

    Mary

  • "A friend and I did a 5 session pack with Marisa and we both loved it! The exercises were challenging but fun, varied, and tailored to our goals and abilities. Marisa was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible with training times. Months later, I am still using a lot of the skills I learned from Marisa in my workouts."

    Amy

  • "I had never been able to do a squat as it hurt my knees too much. Through our training you got me to squat down low enough that I am able to read my putts when I golf. Even with this new found ability I still miss most of them."

    Casey

  • "Since I started working with Marisa I haven't had to go to my (previously) regularly needed chiro + physio appointments. The regular aches and pains that I had have gone away and I am enjoying life without the regular flare ups!"
