Fitness trainers have long been popular, but ever more, people also want support in their efforts to eat less, stop smoking or drinking, and reduce stress. These people are starting to seek out wellness coaches.

Wellness coaches are being hired not only by individuals but by employers and health insurers as a likely cost-beneficial perk for their employees.(Originally printed in “Best Careers.”) © usnews.com, December 11, 2008
