Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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, our program is BCC accredited so our graduates are qualified to apply and sit for the board exam to become a Board Certified Coach in addition to the 20+ hours per year of ongoing education all alumni receive, at no additional charge, once they graduate.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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.
We also have a simple process to make up a session during the cohort should one be missed. While we understand life events can interfere with participation, students who miss more than a few lessons and are not able to attend make-up sessions will be encouraged to complete the course during the next enrollment cycle.
