Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a life coach and a health coach?
Life coaches help someone navigate their passion and purpose with personal and professional goals.
They may incorporate areas of focus representative of health coaching, such as stress management tools and highlighting the importance of healthy habits like diet, nutrition, exercise and sleep – all in service of helping their clients build a vision and a mindset for their future so they can confidently step forward into that future. In this way, life coaching has some overlap with health coaching, but life coaching is strictly centered around personal and professional goals. Life coaches work with their clients on career, relationship, business, financial, spiritual, somatic, mindset and purpose-driven goals.

A health coach, by contrast, will always tie back to the foundations of health in their work with clients. Being a health coach requires additional, specialized training so that health coaches have a depth of knowledge around physical movement, chronic diseases, nutrition, sleep, and other healthy habits that will improve health outcomes for their clients. A health coach can fill in the gaps of physician-patient care and follow through.

There are foundational differences in life coaching vs health coaching. While there is a bit of overlap, the lens from a life coach vs a health coach is very different.
Is this program accredited?
While life coaching is not a regulated industry, accreditations can help provide new coaches with a network and additional training and support as they establish themselves in a new career.

Many of the oldest accreditations have become unwieldy and require the coach to spend thousands of additional dollars annually to maintain affiliation, while offering limited support, guidance, and networking activities. We believe that can and should be different! As such, we are in process of becoming AC, BCC and IAC accredited so our graduates may pursue a range of post-graduate support as they wish - all in addition to the 20+ hours per year of ongoing education all alumni receive, at no additional charge, once they graduate. This makes our program one of the best life coaching programs available.
What sets mindbodygreen’s life coaching program apart from other programs in the market?
We believe everyone who wants a brilliant life coach should have access to one.

We believe everyone who wants to become the best life coach should have a program that has been designed just for them – a program that meets the moment. This is the best life coach certification, created to help you become the coach you’ve always wanted to be.

We believe life coaching is ready for a refresh, a modern approach that includes neuroscience, evidence-backed tools, meaningful dialogue about what it takes to actually change and how to help people achieve the change they seek – whether it’s in their career, relationships, mindset, spirituality, finances or overall life direction and goals.

Enter our Life Coaching+ Certification. This program will not limit you to “staying in your lane” but will ensure you are a behavior change expert once you graduate. It’s a life coaching certification, yes. But we think of it as Life Coaching+...as you’ll be limitless in how you apply these tools so you can help others in a way that is uniquely you.  

In just twelve weeks, you will learn the foundational principles of behavior change, how to setup and nurture the coaching relationship with your clients, and how to help your clients tap into their own resilience for transformation, all with a unique mindbodygreen twist.

This is the life coaching program that we wish existed… so we made it!
What support and resources are available to graduates after they complete the program?
Our Alumni Program provides graduates with twenty hours of annual education for ongoing support and development. We offer focused learning sessions every 6 to 8 weeks for alumni across a range of topics to help you become a deeply impactful coach. As one of the top life coaching programs, we ensure that our alumni have the opportunity to learn from and get real-world insights and inspiration from industry experts and successful life coaches. Many topics covered during alumni education sessions help our coaches build their businesses, including marketing, pricing services, finding clients, incorporating group coaching, and more.

To further support alumni in building their own businesses, we offer a free business course that is designed to help you awaken to your true calling as a coach or entrepreneur, discover your creativity, reprogram your mindset for success, connect with a supportive group of like-minded coaches, overcome fear, and step into your power and confidence to create abundance. mindbodygreen graduates can enroll in this business course at no cost and earn 32 CEUs from ICF.
Are there any technology requirements to participate in the program?
This course takes place online - through streamed video, live instruction and downloaded materials. Students must have the following:

- Good internet connection
- Laptop or desktop computer
- Zoom account (free)
- Familiarity with Zoom
- Printer access
What is your refund policy?
Refund requests up to 14-days after purchase will receive a full refund, less a $250 administrative fee.

Refund requests up to Week 3 of the Life Coach Certification will receive a 75% refund, less a $250 admin fee. No refunds will be granted after Week 3 of the program.

Students may email mbgocaching@mindbodygreen for any concerns or disputes about refunds or if they wish to defer to another cohort as we understand life circumstances may impact your schedule once you have enrolled in the program.
What is your policy for handling student disputes within the program?
Any student complaints or disputes related to the program should be sent to the cohort-specific email provided to each student upon enrollment. The Program Coordinator will review the complaint and forward it to the appropriate senior individual for further evaluation. The designated individual will then determine a resolution in line with the program’s core values. The senior staff member will follow up with the student via email or phone to ensure both the student and mindbodygreen are clear on any potential steps that may need to occur to address and resolve the issue.  We reserve the right to remove a student from the course at any time due to any behavior that is not aligned with our conduct policies.

All students also have the opportunity to provide detailed program feedback upon graduation in an evaluation that allows them to provide insights and recommendations around faculty, curriculum, mindbodygreen team, technology used in the course and overall student experience. At mindbodygreen, we take student feedback very seriously so we can continuously improve our program and the student experience within our program.
Do you work with students to make accommodations for learning and other disabilities?
Yes - we have designed this program to be easily navigated and understood by a wide range of users, including those users who have visual, auditory, motor or cognitive or physical disabilities.

Any student considering enrollment in our programs may request accommodation for assistance with pre-recorded course materials, live sessions, written materials, weekly quizzes and the final exam. We frequently work with students to extend testing window timeframes, additional breaks or extended time frames for key deadlines, and provide distraction-reduced live chat functionality.

All submitted disability related documentation is considered personal and confidential and is securely maintained.
