Our main mission here at YourCoach has always been expanding accessibility to REAL health coaching, grounded in evidence and rooted in real human connection. Over the past several years, we’ve made this possible through incredible partnerships with forward-thinking organizations that understand the value health coaching brings to their employees, clients, patients and members.
This partnership with Espresa is part of our broader commitment to making health coaching more accessible through the benefits people already have. In addition to being available via Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSAs), health coaching through YourCoach is also an eligible expense for those with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)*. That means individuals can use their pre-tax dollars to invest in their health and wellbeing through health coaching that works.
In the process, we’ve delivered results-backed, best-in-class health coaching services to thousands across the country. Today, we’re thrilled to share more about one of our newest partnerships with Espresa, an innovative leader in HR technology and personal benefits. Espresa offers the industry’s broadest, no-markup Rewards and Recognition (R&R) Marketplace – and now, thanks to our partnership, health coaching through YourCoach is available exclusively to those with a Lifestyle Spending Account – a flexible, employer-funded benefit designed for real-life wellbeing needs beyond traditional healthcare models.
“Since the beginning of YourCoach, our mission has been clear: to make health coaching accessible to the global population by 2030. Partnerships like this one with Espresa are what keep that mission alive and moving forward. Our collaboration with Espresa is a powerful example of what’s possible when innovation in HR meets the science of behavior change. Together, we’re making health coaching available where it matters most, right inside the benefits employees already use.”
This partnership is more than just a new way to access coaching. It’s a step toward reimagining how wellness is delivered in the workplace, not just as a benefit, but as a driver of employee engagement and organizational wellbeing. As more employers embrace flexible, personalized benefits – and more employees are actively seeking out these benefits – health coaching has become a must-have for supporting holistic wellbeing and fueling a more connected, motivated workforce. We’re proud to be driving this movement, ensuring that individuals can get the support they need to feel better, perform better, and live healthier, all through the benefits they already trust.
If you already have lifestyle benefits with Espresa, just search for “health coaching” on the platform and YourCoach will be there! If you’re not sure if your company uses Espresa, now is the perfect time to check in with your HR team. Many employers are actively reviewing and refreshing their benefits in preparation for Open Enrollment this fall, and there’s no better time to advocate for meaningful, human-first wellness benefits like health coaching than right now!
Just a few benefits of working with a health coach, according to our YourCoach Observational Outcomes Study, participants:
- Experienced a 17.9% decrease in their GAD-7 scores, which is used to assess anxiety disorders.
- Saw a 10.8% increase in RAQ-8 scores, an evaluation used to show how well one can recover from stress.
- Noted a 13.1% increase in locus of control scores, which indicates a move towards believing they’re more in control of their own choices and no longer feel their circumstances are dictated by external forces.
