Code of Ethics & Scope of Practice
At Robert Marshall Health & Wellness Coaching, my approach is grounded in Presence, Curiosity, and Love. I believe lasting change happens through collaboration, compassion, and honoring each person’s unique experiences.
My Commitment
As your health and wellness coach, I strive to:
Create a supportive, inclusive, and judgment-free environment.
Listen with curiosity and compassion.
Respect your autonomy and lived experience.
Support you in identifying goals that are meaningful to you.
Encourage sustainable habits that align with your values.
Maintain professional boundaries and confidentiality.
Continue learning and growing as a coach through ongoing education.
Scope of Practice
Health coaching focuses on supporting healthy behavior change, wellness, personal growth, and accountability.
As a health coach, I do not:
Diagnose medical conditions.
Treat physical or mental health conditions.
Prescribe medications or supplements.
Provide psychotherapy or counseling.
Replace licensed healthcare professionals.
When appropriate, I may encourage clients to seek support from physicians, registered dietitians, licensed mental health professionals, or other qualified healthcare providers.
Inclusion
Everyone deserves compassionate and respectful care. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, orientations, cultures, and lived experiences.
Partnership
Coaching is a partnership. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you by offering support, accountability, thoughtful questions, and encouragement as you move toward your wellness goals.
