Are you tired of not getting the support you need because your condition makes you miss appointments? Online coaching and support groups are designed to help you anywhere through meaning-filled virtual sessions.
Are you looking for support, coaching, or a community that “gets” what it is to have a chronic illness? Are you frustrated by the limitations your condition sometimes places on your ability to get out?
The digital age has you covered! Thanks to technology, you can connect to anyone, anywhere in the world, provided you have a device that can connect to the internet. So while online health and wellness coaching may be fairly new to most people, it has incredible benefits.
Let’s look at six amazing benefits of receiving health and wellness coaching in the digital age.
Benefits of Receiving Health and Wellness Support in the Digital Age
Community
Not everyone can be outgoing or extroverted, and that’s okay. Sometimes we all feel reluctant to speak up in various circumstances when we are directly in front of someone. The power of online coaching with Supportegy is that you become part of a private or smaller community. Within this smaller space, you can easily connect and engage with people who share your condition or experiences. These online connections are as rewarding as face-to-face ones and are the heart of our online communities.
Convenience
Online coaching and support allow you to tap into what you need from the comfort of your home. The beauty of this is that you are still making connections, getting support and being engaged without having to leave your house. This is a million times better than cancelling when your disease flares up. At Supportegy, we know how frustrating it can be when your condition dictates when you can access services, supports, or participate in things that matter to you.
Flexibility
If you are struggling to find space for health and wellness coaching because it’s all you can do to have a “normal” day, online coaching allows you more freedom to set appointments when it works for you. This means you can still go to work, or your medical appointments, rest up and then grab a coaching session, program, or join the community! When you have a chronic disease, it may feel like managing it is a full-time job all on its own.
Choice
When you use online services, you automatically have more opportunities and organizations to work with. There are many online programs and coaches, so it is important to research and find the right fit, but it also means you are more likely to find what you need. In addition, most online organizations will offer free content in some form, which gives you an excellent opportunity to see what the business is about and if you can trust them.
Cost
A lot of times, when we have chronic conditions, we are on limited budgets. One of the frequently-overlooked benefits of online coaching is that you can save money. When you don’t have to drive or take transportation to your coaching appointment, you are saving money. Another huge cost savings to you is the energy and time you aren’t spending having to get to your appointment and then the time heading back home when it’s over.
Anonymity
There have been times when I’ve needed support but did not want to raise the concern in a face-to-face circumstance. With online coaching, you can ask questions, get the support you need, and not worry about finding out about someone in your local area. With Supportegy, we don’t require you to use a camera if you aren’t comfortable with it. We understand how these small things make a huge difference to our client’s comfort, allowing everyone to be more open and engaged.
