Many wellness coaches are self employed and provide consultations via phone, email, online chat and video conferencing. Insurance companies and other health care organizations are also beginning to employee wellness coaches. These coaches focus primarily on preventative health care and follow-up for employees. Some fitness facilities also employ wellness coaches as part of a complete healthy lifestyle for their clients along with diet and exercise.
