I’m Marco Graffeo, a Certified Health & Wellness Coach with a B.A. in Psychology and training in Positive Psychology. I help people create meaningful, sustainable changes by understanding their habits, motivations, challenges, and everyday lives.
My approach combines psychology-informed, evidence-based behavior change strategies with practical, personalized coaching. Instead of quick fixes or rigid plans, I work with you to identify realistic changes that fit your life and support your long-term well-being.
About me
Coaching isn’t about someone telling you what to do. It’s about having the space to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what might be getting in the way. Together, we turn that into realistic steps that actually fit your life.
Education & Training
My approach to health and wellness coaching is grounded in the study of psychology, positive psychology, behavior change, and whole-person wellness.
The Knowledge Behind My Coaching
After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which helped me build a strong academic foundation in how people think, feel, learn, adapt, and change, I completed the Foundations of Positive Psychology specialization at the University of Pennsylvania, expanding my understanding of well-being, resilience, strengths, meaning, relationships, and the science of what helps people thrive.
My professional coaching training includes the AFPA Certified Master Health & Wellness Coach program, with a focus on evidence‑informed coaching, motivational interviewing, behavior change, nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle habits.
From Psychology to Practical Change
Understanding why we behave a certain way is valuable, but understanding alone doesn't always lead to change. That’s where coaching comes in. I use my background in psychology and health and wellness to help clients better understand their patterns, identify what matters to them, and translate their goals into realistic actions that fit their lives.
No judgment. No one-size-fits-all formula. No telling you how to live your life.
Instead, we work together to create change that feels meaningful, realistic, and sustainable.
