Have you been itching for a career change? Do you enjoy helping others live their best, healthiest lives? Empowering, encouraging, and providing support for people to make lasting life changes? If you said yes to most or all of these questions, becoming a Holistic Health and Wellness Coach may be the right career change for you! Health coaches aid their clients by becoming their “accountability partner”, enabling them to live their best life!
The health industry NEEDS health and wellness coaches. There are many out there suffering from chronic illnesses that need help making changes in their lives to improve their overall health. To paint a clearer picture, according to the CDC, six in ten Americans have a chronic disease and four in ten have multiple. With chronic disease as the number one cause of death in America, Health and Wellness Coaches are needed more than ever before.
Health and wellness coaches help bridge the gap between western medicine and alternative or holistic medicine - meaning, once a doctor diagnoses, the coach can step in and guide the patient to follow those goals/instructions to improve their wellbeing. There are many avenues one can take in this industry and position as a health and wellness coach. One, being the example used above; in supporting a team of doctors, or you could even open up your own coaching practice. The possibilities are endless!
Recently, SWIHA had James Patrick, Director of Business Development & Community Outreach, as well as, Janet Lee, Online Academic Advisor, go into depth to explain more about SWIHA’s new program, the 755-hour Holistic Health and Wellness Coach Diploma Program. They dived deep into what a health and wellness coach does, what you will learn within this program, the career possibilities related to being a health and wellness coach and so much more!
A large piece of this program that is really exciting is that SWIHA’s program aligns with the standards of the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC). The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) has collaborated with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) since 2016 to set the certification standard for the holistic wellness industry. This prestigious certification by the NBHWC provides health & wellness coaches the backing and legitimacy needed to prove to clientele that they are knowledgeable and reliable in their profession.
And to keep the conversation going, we will be having a series of webinars held by either Janet or James that will go in-depth about the program and answer all your questions! We will be touching on topics such as the differences between the two specialties in the diploma program: Mindful Meditation Facilitator and Whole Foods Culinary Specialist. You have the power to choose either focus that best fits your personal vision!
