Become a Christian Health Coach

A comprehensive program for Christians (but open to all) who want to teach others how to live healthy, guiding them through challenges.  Combines physical health, goal setting, and mental wellness into one powerful life coaching package. This is not your typical 'just watch some videos' to get a certificate course. You will submit demonstrations and get real critique on your work. Plus have one-on-one support and guidance from me..

Worried about how to work with various people, concerned about all the conflicting information and how to pick what to share with clients? Don’t worry, I’ll help you through all of these questions.

Price includes all materials, companion courses, and one-on-one sessions with me. Course must be completed within 3 months, that's less than 3 hours per week commitment.. (You can ask for a one month extension for a $50 fee.)

Approx. 35 hours (not including optional material)
Price: $499

The course is laid out with the education, skills, and character traits you will need to become a health coach.  You’ll learn how to communicate more effectively and understand different personalities.  As you apply what you learn, you will be more proficient in active listening and using appropriate questions guiding your clients to make positive lifestyle choices and goals that will improve their quality of life and mental wellbeing.  We offer a certificate of completion for those who score 80% or more on the 2 tests (open book) as well as complete the practice sessions.

There is also a BONUS offer - extra one-on-one session with me if you do the optional extra practice.

Many of the lessons have a mental or spiritual focus. Why? Science has proven the mind is more powerful than any other single influence over our bodies.  The textbook for this course is called the Ministry of Healing, which is from a creation perspective, and it uses references to the Bible. I believe creation has scientific merit just as much as evolution, since neither can be reproduced in a lab, they are both are theories, based on inference and observation of the past as viewed from our current period.  This course is not intended to be specific to any one religion, and anyone open to spiritual matters, regardless of denomination, will benefit, as 90% of the material is adaptable to any faith in a loving creator God or higher power.  The other 10% is specific to Christianity, take or leave it as you will.  So, keep in mind before you take this course, I will talk a lot about God.
