Health Coaching
Connect with our health coach to reach your goals
Everyone’s health needs are different and knowing what tools you need to reach your goals can be hard to navigate on your own. Whether you’d like to increase your activity level, reduce stress, improve your eating habits, have better work-life balance, quit tobacco or just feel better every day – our health and well-being coach, Kelly Fang, can help.
Just like you would hire a professional for other aspects of your life, Kelly is a certified health coach that can help you get where you want to be. She’ll help you remove barriers, break old habits and start healthier ones, motivate you when you need a nudge and be a resource on your journey to a healthier, happier you.
Ready to take the next step?
If you’re on Macalester’s benefits plan, take your health assessment to explore what you’d like to improve and get access to all of our well-being activities. Then contact Kelly to set up a time. In-person, walking and video appointments are free and open to all staff, faculty, spouses and domestic partners, regardless of your benefits plan.

What is Health Coaching?
Health and Wellness Coaches partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well-being. In the course of their work health and wellness coaches display unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, and honoring that each client is an expert on his or her life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.
