Frequently asked questions

All of our coaches are credentialed with the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching, the highest quality standard in the industry.

Health and wellness coaching focuses on the “here and now” and the “where do we go next?” Therapy and counseling for mental health looks at the here and now and asks “how did we get here.” There is a little overlap, however, health and wellness coaching is not a replacement for therapy.

Great question! We wouldn’t want you to invest in sessions that will go to waste. Engagement is our highest priority. That’s why our coaching program is opt-in only. You only pay for coaching for employees who want to participate!

We are here to serve all owner-operated small businesses and nonprofit organizations that are looking for ways to support the wellbeing of their employees. Anywhere from 2 to 50 employees in size.

It has been said that “any coaching is better than no coaching” – so even if you can only fit quarterly coaching into your organization’s budget, we can make a difference for your people! That being said, once or twice per month seems to be a good rule of thumb. We love to customize our coaching programs to what works for you and your people! 

We recommend consulting with your accountant/CPA or finance team. Generally, our services should qualify as a tax deductible business expense along with your other employee benefits.

Yes! We offer workshops as a complement to our coaching program for existing clients. We are passionate about health and wellness and enjoy educating others on how they can achieve their health and wellness goals. However, we continue to find that the biggest impact happens within the scope of wellness coaching where we focus on individual needs and goals.

True coaching is never “one size fits all.” It’s all about client-centered, client-driven experience. The employee is in the driver’s seat, the coach is the navigator and guide. 

ACW is headquartered in the Portland metro area in Oregon City, Oregon. Our coaching services are all conducted over the phone or video call, so we are able to work with any organization in the United States.
