What makes UVM’s Program Integrative?

Our focus on integrative practices along with the core coaching curriculum means that students will gain knowledge in several areas of health and well-being. You’ll be exposed to culinary medicine, acupressure, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and more. Integrative health involves a blend of traditional medical care, complementary care, and self-care to provide individualized whole-person treatment. We look through a different lens as integrative practitioners – everything that we do and every decision that we make impacts our health and well-being.

“Health and wellness coaching is not just about addressing symptoms; it’s about empowering individuals to take charge of their own health journey.”

Dr. Karen C. Westervelt, UVM Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching Professor
