Hi Angela!
"Life Coaching" can encompass a number of methodologies and focal points.
Some life coaching focuses strictly on health and the integration of healthy lifestyle habits with diet and exercise. Other forms focus on business/career and its impact on a person's life with the goal of finding life balance while achieving professional success. True, all-encompassing life coaching takes a holistic approach by integrating factors such as relationships, career, health, finances, and purpose into a client's overall lifestyle. All aspects of our lives are inherently interwoven, so for most individuals, working with a life coach is a process of creating harmony among all these facets of their lives

I have a certification as a 'Lifestyle and Weight Management Coach' from ACE, and thereby I look at my scope of practice to advise people about behavior around food and weight management.
However, while I really do not call myself a coach of any stripe, I often find myself, in my role as personal trainer, called upon for just about any life situations that arises for my clients. I have to preface that by saying that I tend to have my clients for years (some more than 10, many more than 5 years), and during this time I am - more or less - a vicarious participant of their lives. I have found myself giving advice of referrals in just about any area of life, be it helping a client after the loss of a spouse to finding to podiatrist.
I don't even know what to call that - I guess: PERSONAL Trainer :-)
