by Shelley Butler, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Thrive offers Health Coaching as one of its many wellness services. Many people wonder what a Health Coaching appointment looks like, and how it could help them on their journey towards true health and wellness.  A Thrive health coach is someone with experience and knowledge that can help get you to a greater achievement level than you could on your own.  Health coaching is about taking recommendations given by a practitioner or other professional, and helping the client to implement them into their day-to-day life.

by Shelley Butler, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I have a self care tip for you that you may want to add to your daily routine, and it's basically free! Try gargling!  It may be something you do when you feel like you are coming down with a sore throat, but gargling has other health benefits you may not know about.
