Holistic Life Coaching may use the 'Wheel of life' exercise, to encourage you to look at your life as a whole, considering aspects such as career, money, health, friends and family, romance, personal growth and fun and recreation. When these areas are marked out in a wheel, it gives you a chance to see how your life is riding. is it a smooth ride or a bumpy ride?

Life coaching that takes a holisitic approach may differ from other forms of coaching as it looks at you as a whole person, and not just the changes you are looking to bring about in your life. Holistic life coaching will assist you in ensuring that any changes you desire are consistent with who you are as a person, your values and beliefs in life, and what your long term goals and desires are.

Holistic Life Coaching puts you as the client in charge of this process. You are the one who knows the changes you want to make in your life and you know what way will feel right for you to bring this about. Holistic Life Coaching gives you the opportunity to check-in with someone on a regular basis who will help you navigate your way. Holistic Life Coaching assists you to really acknowledge the small and large steps you are taking in order to make these changes in your life. Holistic Life Coaching also encourages you to acknowledge what you already have achieved in your life, to look at other times in your life when you have made great changes and achieved your desires, and to look at what skills and strengths you called on then and how to bring these same strengths into your current situation for a positive outcome.
