Cultivating change for 20 years
We teach you how to help people change, grow and thrive
Professional health and wellness coaches are expert facilitators of sustainable change in mindset and ​behaviors. Translating science and innovation into coaching practice, Wellcoaches teaches you how to use coaching tools and processes designed to help others change, grow and thrive.
20 Years as pioneering leaders
In January 2000, Wellcoaches founded the first coaching school for health and wellness professionals, with a vision of creating a new health professional who is expert in facilitating behavior change. Our 20 year journey in designing and testing coaching protocols, training models, and skills assessment, pursuing research and unifying standards, helped enable CPT codes for health and well-being coaching, naming the coach as a healthcare professional, launched in January 2020.
​
Together, let's create a world where everyone welcomes change, enjoys growth, and is good at both.
​
​
We collaborate with partners, including the American College of Sports Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, to help everyone who works in healthcare and wellness learn how to coach to improve health, well-being, and quality of life. We are also an approved training program for the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching.
