Integrating mind-body processes and motivational interviewing in health coaching: enhancing support for health behavior change.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The global rise of chronic disease presents a need for effective prevention and treatment grounded in mind-body science and autonomy-promoting lifestyle interventions. Health and wellness coaching (HWC) has emerged as a new field as the evidence for it has grown. However, there continue to be significant discrepancies in how the HWC role is defined, trained, and practiced. HWC is an evidence-based approach integrating well-established behavior change theories and techniques to help individuals explore and sustain self-determined health targets. The National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching in the United States guides credentialling for the field and establishes minimum training standards and competencies for practicing health coaches. Foundational knowledge of the mind-body connection is newly included in these coach competencies. In this paper, we present the overall process of HWC used in the Vanderbilt Health Coaching Program, emphasizing how mind-body processes can be integrated with motivational interviewing. We specifically present three mind-body processes that we have entwined with motivational interviewing and iterated with over 700 trainees: use of mindfulness, the whole person Wheel of Health, and guided visualization. We also present two structural tools that overlay the mind-body processes and motivational interviewing: the Vanderbilt Health Coaching Funnel and it's brief derivative for clinical encounters, the IVA (Importance Visioning Activation) Funnel. Each mind-body process and the two structural tools are described in detail as each promotes the underlying development of sustainable behavior change. Our aim is that these mind-body processes and structural tools will help clarify the evidence-based strategies upon which true coaching is developed and that other clinicians, researchers, and coaches will utilize them to empower their patients in pursuing their best health.
