Delivering the message of wellness

What is Wellness?

Health promotion practices model wellness as a wheel* identifying the different dimensions which contribute to health, wellbeing and quality of life. These dimensions can include spiritual wellness, physical wellness, environmental wellness, social wellness, financial wellness, mental wellness, and so on. This holistic approach to health does not state that all dimensions must be tended to equally, but instead reinforces how different dimensions will be challenged or required in response to the ever-changing circumstances of the human experience. Individuals may also favour certain dimensions over others due to systemic factors linked to accessibility, impact on their health, and/or personal agency to make behaviour changes through four key factors: awareness, knowledge, attitude and skills.

Health promotion practices strive to create environments and policies that empower individuals to have more autonomy over their wellbeing where making the healthy choice, is the easy choice (note: this is in stark contrast to our current wellness culture that does not consider the systemic factors which influence health and caters solely to the individual blessed with the ample resources necessary to obtain its prescribed version of wellbeing).

It is these fundamental principles that promote access and health equality which guide Lauren Brown, owner of Inspiring Health, in the work she does as a Health & Wellness Coach, and a Corporate Health & Wellness Specialist.

*It is important to note that the Health Promotion Wellness Wheel model was adapted from Indigenous Medicine Wheels, which represent the interconnectedness of four different aspects that contribute to health: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

  • Health & Wellness Coaching Testimonials

    I met Lauren at a staff wellness seminar. We started working together shortly after that by meeting or speaking once a week. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first at having a Wellness Coach – but was proved wrong soon after we started working together! We started off with a visualization exercise on how I imagined my “healthy” lifestyle and then moved forward incrementally from there, choosing weekly goals and then discussing how I achieved (or didn’t achieve them). It was a wonderful experience to discuss my routine activities with such detail and honesty with a specialist who was charged with increasing my overall health and well being. It definitely changed some of my lifestyle habits for the long-term and made me more reflective of what makes me happy. Thanks, Lauren, for opening me up to a new way of thinking!

    Collaborating with Lauren as a colleague in advancing organizational health and wellbeing was a truly refreshing and rewarding experience. Instead of providing traditional and generic health & wellness training, Lauren took the time to conduct thoughtful needs assessments, ensuring she genuinely understood our organization and the unique challenges our employees face. From there, she designed a customized, human-centered wellness program that felt relevant, practical, and deeply supportive of our people.
