While earning my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology/Counseling, I was taught that in order to understand clients’ “issues," we must first  closely examine their maladaptive behaviors and/or past missteps.  However, being a pragmatic and optimistic person, I was searching for a more efficient, effective and positive means to help my clients create healthier, richer and more balanced lives.  Thus began my personal and professional journey into coaching and consulting.  Through the facets of Positive Psychology and the coaching practices of appreciative inquiry and motivational interviewing, I help clients to identify and to celebrate what is working RIGHT.  It  is from this perspective, that the client is able to discern his or her strengths and to apply these strengths in their efforts to achieve the lasting change they desire.

I founded Shari Fish Wellness, a health and wellness consulting and coaching practice whose focus is guiding clients through a process of change and helping them to identify their strengths and core values as they move toward their health and wellness vision.  As a result, my clients experience increased self-awareness and self-knowledge.  They acquire new skills and information, attain personal and professional goals and develop the skills that lead to sustainable behavior change.  My philosophy is that by working in concert with my clients, they will experience increased life satisfaction, self-efficacy and that each one will truly become his/her “best self."
