Erika talks about Wellcoaches and how their intense coaching course touches on a lot of the human behavior, physical and emotional aspects. “Coaches are the best listeners. They are the best at open-ended inquiry. The best at reflecting what someone has just said so that that client or patient feels heard.

West is an actor, author, international speaker, teacher, founder of The Writers Guild of...
