Support centered on your goals, choices, and daily life.

Health coaching is collaborative and client-directed. You decide what matters and what fits. Mike provides thoughtful, compassionate guidance as you make the most of what you have and strive for the health you deserve.

Coaching can help you to

  • Clarify what you want from your health and daily life
  • Stay on track and reach the goals you set for yourself
  • Identify changes that feel realistic and worthwhile
  • Work through barriers and build on existing strengths
  • Feel understood and accepted no matter what you choose
  • Make sense of contradictory health information

Coaching may be for you if

  • You believe generic wellness advice does not apply to you
  • You have trouble maintaining momentum and motivation
  • You feel frustrated because you are not able to make the choices you want
  • You are being pulled in different directions
  • You need support that considers your values, responsibilities, and what feels doable

Three parts of the process

1

Start with your priorities

Talk through what matters most, what has been difficult, and what you want to change.

2

Choose your next steps

Identify actions and support systems that fit your life rather than someone else’s template.

3

Learn and adjust

Use reflection and accountability to notice what is helping, change what is not, and continue forward.

Michael B. Schmidt, Certified Health and Wellness Coach

Knowledge, perspective, and empathy

Michael B. Schmidt is a Certified Health & Wellness Coach and had previously earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University. He is based on Long Island, NY.

In addition to his professional training, Mike was diagnosed with significant chronic illness, which has made practicing chiropractic unrealistic. His background therefore brings together formal education in the health sciences, firsthand experience navigating health challenges, and health-coaching training centered on helping clients make changes that fit their own lives. Together, those experiences shape an approach grounded in curiosity, wisdom, and compassion rather than one-size-fits-all advice.

Prior to enrolling in chiropractic school, Mike enjoyed a career in higher education, helping students navigate the college experience and get the most out of it. Combined with his educational and personal background, these experiences make online Health & Wellness Coaching an ideal way for him to live meaningfully and support others as he continues on his own health journey.

I have so much going on right now. Can health coaching help me make a plan that fits my life?

Yes. Coaching helps you clarify what matters, identify realistic options, and choose actions that reflect your health, priorities, responsibilities, and resources.

I’m tired of being told what I should do. Will I remain in control of my decisions?

Yes. Coaching is client-directed. Mike may offer questions, educational resources, perspectives, or options within the scope of coaching, but you decide what fits your values, needs, and circumstances.

I’m unsure about the treatments my doctors recommend. Can coaching help me prepare for conversations with my healthcare team?

Yes. Mike can help you organize concerns, clarify priorities, prepare questions, and communicate more effectively.

Are coaching sessions available remotely?

Yes. Sessions are provided online through Practice Better.

Will Mike treat my ailments?

Although Mike also has a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, this online practice is exclusively for Health & Wellness Coaching. He will draw on his clinical training and personal experience to better understand the challenges that you face and to help you make choices that align with your goals. Mike does not diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions, or tell you what decisions to make. Clinical questions and treatment decisions should be directed to clients’ licensed healthcare professionals.
