Whether you are a woman or a man, young or old, whether the wedding you are preparing is your first one or not, and whether you are having a tented affair for hundreds or it'll be just the two of you down at city hall, you certainly want to be at your best when that very important date arrives.
And don't you owe that to yourself? After all, you are starting a new chapter in your life as we say, so why not start it feeling and looking your best? When a bride or groom-to-be starts wedding plans, chances are that hiring a wellness coach is not item # 1 on their to-do list.
The date, venue, caterer, budget, music, guest list, invitations, wedding party, photographer...
these are but some of the matters which concern you immediately.
They may concern you so much in fact that you decide to use a professional wedding planner to help arrange the event.
Brides-to be may also elicit expert fashion help with choosing a gown and accessories and then use a professional hair-stylist and make-up person on the wedding day.
Today's brides and grooms-to-be often turn to a personal fitness trainer to help get them into physical shape for the big event; perhaps they are truly more concerned about how they will look in a bathing suit while on their tropical honeymoon.
Where then does a wellness coach fit in to the process of preparing for marriage? I would propose (pun intended) that a wellness coach be considered as soon as the wedding date is set for it is the wellness coach whose potential positive impact on your life will be felt the most intensely and personally.
Long after the wedding meal is forgotten, long after the gown is put into storage or the tuxedo is returned to the rental company, and long after your hair has ever looked that good, the benefits from working with a wellness coach may be what brings you the health and happiness everyone wished you on your wedding day.
A wellness coach is your partner in working towards a healthier you.
During the hectic months leading up to your wedding, a wellness coach may help you become more fit, more focused and more energetic.
Unhealthy over-eating or under-eating, poor sleep habits, and stress can all occur when devoting so much time and energy to planning an event as all-encompassing as your wedding.
A coach can encourage you to set and achieve vital but realistic health goals during what otherwise can be a very stressful time.
A coach may help you overcome the obstacles between you and a healthier you.
And because most wellness coaches rely on weekly telephone sessions to monitor their clients' progress you can easily access your coach's guidance from the comfort of your home or office.
Brides and grooms-to-be who are not planning lavish ceremonies and receptions can equally benefit from working with a wellness coach prior to their wedding.
Whether their wedding involves a small gathering at home or a simple city hall service with no guests, the couple will want to be in top form as they start their new life together.
Again, turning to a coach to achieve your healths goal should be an early consideration.
And remember the bonus of working with a wellness coach prior to your wedding...
you can acquire tools which will continue to help you overcome obstacles to a healthier you.
That is a wedding present worth all the toasters and blenders in the world.
