“We are so excited about Rachel’s certification as a Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and what it means for SIG and our clients. This training gives SIG the ability to continue offering innovative health and wellness services based on the needs and interests of our clients and their employees. We’ve seen the demand for wellness services grow over the years. This past year, clients have requested wellness culture audits, senior leadership management training, and employee interest surveys and focus groups. The follow-up feedback we’ve received is that clients want to offer their employees interactive health education workshops and health coaching and that their employees are wanting to get that help directly.  As a trained health coach, Rachel will be able to guide our clients and their employees to live healthier and more energized lives. SIG believes that good health equals good business and an increase in employee recruitment, retention, engagement and productivity.”
