Lauren Allen’s Passion for Holistic Health Fueled her Coaching Sessions with Clients

Posted by Jade Marvin on 4/4/23 4:00 PM

What was your life like before SWIHA? What led you to SWIHA and to your particular program of study? Why are you passionate about this modality?

Before SWIHA I was working a full-time job that I wasn't passionate about, just something to help pay the bills while trying to educate myself on a holistic lifestyle, as it was something that peaked my interest. I love the fitness industry and am what you'd call a "gym junkie" however I wasn't impressed with many of the products that are advertised as "healthy" when in reality they are filled with additives that are synthetically made and cause havoc on the gut. I wanted to enroll in a program that had a focus on holistic health, and SWIHA was the answer. I ended up enrolling in the Holistic Health & Wellness Coach diploma program with the specialty of Whole Foods Culinary Specialist

Health & Wellness Coach Priscilla Kreft Helps Women Replace Stress & Anxiety with Confidence & Self-love

Posted by Jade Marvin on 3/30/23 4:00 PM

For years, I have served as a resource to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started by journaling about my passions, thoughts, and wonderings about our world. I learned through reflection and introspection that I can't cruise through life without support, and neither can anyone else. I discovered that there is a profession around just that - holistically supporting humans!

Holistic Coach Janine McNiven Empowers Others to Live a Balanced Life with Whole foods, Grace, and Resilience

Posted by Jade Marvin on 3/28/23 4:00 PM

My life before SWIHA was very chaotic; I didn't have a lot of direction after leaving a high-demand religion. I struggled with mental health issues and found no sustainable solutions until I started to change my relationship with food, my body, spirituality, and myself. I started making some lifestyle changes on my own yet was hungry for more information on how to take care of myself, my mind, body, and spirit. When I found SWIHA, I felt really drawn to the holistic approach and how the balance of nutrition and mindfulness has a powerful effect on all three. I am passionate about holistic healing through food because the mind, body, and spirit are so interconnected and this is a great way to start discovering yourself and taking good, loving care of yourself.”

Health & Wellness Coach Christine Reel’s Mission to Hold Space and Guide others to living a Heart-Centered Life

Posted by Jade Marvin on 3/16/23 4:00 PM

My life before SWIHA was and is a mystical - glorious journey! I am an entrepreneur at heart, with my own business as a holistic hairstylist. I was led to SWIHA during the shutdown in 2020 and found that I had an opportunity to add to my skills as a holistic practitioner. I had an interest in expanding my career into something new and exciting within the wellness space. I have many energetic gifts and wanted to incorporate more of them into what I do for a living. I was interested in the Integrative Healing Arts Program and the Holistic Health & Wellness Coaching program. I felt that the skills I would learn with the holistic coaching and mindfulness facilitation program would be a good fit and the first step in creating my new holistic business. It is my passion to share my knowledge about awakening consciousness and how to live an aligned Heart-Centered life. Through Holistic Coaching and Mindfulness Facilitation, It is my mission to be a guide for those I came to serve.”

Health & Wellness Coach, Shaina Corrales, Shares How to Build Healthy Habits to Others on Social Media

Posted by Jade Marvin on 3/14/23 4:00 PM

Before SWIHA, life was a little out of focus and I felt a call to do something to help educate others about taking care of their bodies with nutrition. I had seriously considered a traditional course in nutrition at a community college for a bachelor's degree. I didn't see a good fit with that type of schooling and heard through a friend about this school's holistic nutrition courses. I am here because I see all the reactive actions people take in their lives to combat illness and lead a less-than-desired lifestyle, I truly wish to make a difference for the current generations as well as move forward to be a proactive society.”

Life Coach, ReNae Schramm, Holds Space for Clients to Get Out of Their Heads and into Their Bodies

Posted by Jade Marvin on 3/2/23 4:00 PM

What was your life like before SWIHA? What led you to SWIHA and to your particular program of study? Why are you passionate about this modality?

My life before SWIHA involved a lengthy corporate career and years of talk therapy! An off-handed comment about becoming a Life Coach opened a world of opportunity. I stumbled across ads for SWIHA, stopped in for a visit, tried out several classes through the guest pass program, and landed myself in the Life Coaching program. I'd always been interested in Hypnotherapy and found the schedule aligned, so that became my weekend gig. It didn't take long before I was hooked! Being around like-minded people and learning how to use these techniques changed (and healed) me more than I ever thought possible. I couldn't wait to share my talents with the world and used these skills whenever I could.

How Wellness Coach Jamie Jones Spreads her Passion for Wellness with Others

Posted by Jade Marvin on 2/28/23 4:00 PM

Before SWIHA I was lost wondering what route I should take in my career. I've always been into fitness and holistic health. As a personal trainer and aerobics instructor, I knew I wanted to build upon my knowledge to help others. I remember looking into SWIHA over 10 years ago. For years it was always a distant dream to be a student until it finally became a reality thanks to the universe. The Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coaching diploma got my attention quickly as it seemed to cover some of the topics I was passionate about. At a young age dealing with chronic illness, I've learned the value of giving my body nourishing whole foods and taking care of every aspect of well-being to live one's best life. I now want to share this knowledge and passion with the world to help other people with their personal wellness journey.
