 Wellness & Health Coach Certification Course

 

Purpose: This is a 40-hour (48 Level 1 hours) course designed to train health & wellness and coaching professionals and to be wellness coaches.

Blending the best from the wellness field with the practical and effective skill-base of coaching, Wellness Mapping 360°™ Wellness Coach Certification training gives wellness and healthcare professionals the skills they need to help their clients make lasting lifestyle change. It is a systematic wellness and lifestyle coaching process, based on behavioral change psychology, human motivation, cultural support, and professional coaching competencies.

There is a lifestyle aspect to all health challenges and lifestyle improvement is much easier with allies. For many people their success at lifestyle change is largely determined by how well connected they are to a supportive culture of wellness around them. Healthcare and wellness professionals with wellness coaching skills can effectively guide their clients towards the lifestyle changes prescribed by the physician. The Wellness Mapping 360°™ Wellness & Health Coach Certification training provides a structured, proven methodology that effectively supports the individual’s movement toward healthy lifestyle change.

Training in wellness coaching helps healthcare and wellness professionals shift the responsibility for change to the individual. Learning to create a true alliance with their “coach”, the individual discovers how to better form needed alliances with others and ask their environment for what they need. Together the client and coach create a wellness plan that will help the client to achieve their lifestyle improvement goals in any and all areas of wellness.
