SMU Wellpower Welcomes Interim Health Coach, Matt Stika

Healthways, the company that now provides our online wellness program for Wellpower is busy recruiting a new onsite health coach for us. We hope to bring that new coach on board in early spring. However, we are fortunate to have an interim health coach visiting campus in December. Read Matt’s letter outlining his background and availability to help you get started with a well-being plan now:

mattHello all,
My name is Matthew Stika and I am looking forward to serving as your interim Health Coach for the start of this year’s Wellpower program. I have been working with Healthways at our San Antonio location for the past year; although, I have been working in the health coaching industry for the past five years. Wow, five years already… it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun.

My academic background centered on Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, earning Master’s degrees in both fields. During my professional career, I have further complemented my overall skill set through continued studies and certifications as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a Tobacco Cessation Specialist. Likewise, my health coaching interests and experience span a wide-spectrum in both body and mind, ranging from implementing exercise and nutritional methods to create desired physical health-change, to focusing on improving stress management and tobacco cessation. No matter which topic(s) you would like to pursue, we will focus on establishing individual lifestyle balance to provide sustainable long-term comfort and success! Upon transition to the permanent Health Coach, all notes of your progress will be confidentially maintained to provide a comfortable and seamless transition.

In serving as your interim Health Coach, I may not be here for a long time, but I look forward to having a good time in providing any support in your continued efforts towards your individual wellness goals. I will be on-campus on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:30AM – 5:00PM, December 9, 10, 16, and 17, so feel free to contact me at (214) 768-4481, or via email at wellpower@smu.edu.

Be well,
Matt
