Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
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 to ensure you approach every client from a holistic, whole-person lens.
This is the life coaching program that we wish existed…so we made it!
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.
