  • Wellness Coaches can help you make a plan for nicotine cessation from smoking, vaping, or spit tobacco. They will help you prepare to cope with stress, urges to use nicotine, and other issues you may face when trying to quit.

While their guidance will provide support and education, it is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. Therefore, Wellness Coaches will refer you to on-campus resources for assistance on matters beyond their training. If you believe that depression, anxiety, or other mental health disorders may be a factor for you please visit KSU Counseling and Psychological Services.

KSU Wellness Coaches look forward to coaching you on your journey to achieving your mental health and wellness goals.

    Why did you become a Wellness Coach?

    I became a Wellness Coach because I am very passionate about promoting wellness and self-care amongst people. Connecting with students through Wellness Coaching allows me to help people towards achieving their goals while enjoying their journey along the way.

    How do you practice positive self-care?

    I practice positive self-care by journaling and meditation. Putting energy towards having a positive mindset really makes a difference.

    What is one well-being tip you would like to share with other students?

    One well-being tip I would like to share is to put time and energy into getting to know yourself. We are constantly evolving as people, and being aware of your intentions, limits, and goals can make certain aspects of life less stressful.
