Stand out in your career as a Health Coach
Part behavior change specialist, part supportive mentor, and part wellness educator, the Functional Medicine Health Coach is the bridge between what the client knows they need to do to be healthy, and the motivation to create lasting change.
Functional Medicine Health Coaches don't give advice or prescribe treatments. Instead, they use their unique skills to cultivate personal responsibility so clients can tap into their innate strengths and self-efficacy to discover their full potential.
Great coaches fully listen to their clients and offer support, accountability, collaboration, education, and resources. While prior training in another healthcare discipline can be helpful, you don’t need a background in healthcare in order to become a first-rate Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach.
