Already a Certified Wellcoach, NBC-HWC or ICF Certified? Register now! Testimonials I had wanted to attend PCT for 7 years and when I finally did, it exceeded my expectations! I took the class hoping for 3 things: first, that my coaching skill would be elevated to a higher level; second, that I would be personally transformed; and third, that I would establish new meaningful relationships with other coaches. All these things took place – and not just as an event occurring at a particular moment in time, but as a seed that was planted and continues to grow and bear fruit. The initial residential experience established us as a deeply connected group. It laid a foundation of trust and openness that facilitated a deepening connection throughout our classes and practice together during the months to come. The reading and related classes were incredibly enriching. The faculty was outstanding. The weekly online classes became a moment in the week we all looked forward to. The closing residential session was a reunion of dearest friends that took us to new depths of awareness and new vistas of personal vision. Like the ripples from a stone thrown in a pond, I will be feeling the effects of my PCT class for quite some time as I continue to learn and grow. I am incredibly grateful to have taken this class.

Wellcoaches is dedicated to advancing the field of coaching in healthcare and wellness on a global scale. Social Mission Our team makes the difference. Wellcoaches is dedicated to advancing the field of coaching in healthcare and well-being on a global scale as a means for personal transformation, first for professionals, and then for their clients. Over the last decade, our team has helped create, lead, and support nonprofit organizations that translate science into coaching practices and support coaching research (Institute of Coaching), deliver national standards and certification for health and wellness coaches (National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching), and deliver lifestyle medicine education (Institute of Lifestyle Medicine). Commitment to Anti-Racism The Wellcoaches team is awake to, and in empathy with, the intense and profound pain of racism. We are listening deeply to the voices, perspectives and wisdom of black leaders and communities. We are mourning the killings of black and brown men and women over centuries. We also understand that the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities have been terribly impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis and that this is just one symptom of the long history of systemic racism and inequity. Wellcoaches is committed to anti-racism, which is sustained action to help people outgrow racist ideas, actions, and policies. We believe that racial diversity in our hiring practices and in selecting global partners is invaluable. The Wellcoaches team includes Black, Hispanic, and Asian members. And, the Wellcoaches community is diverse, comprised of coaches of every race and from nations around the world. Leveraging that strength, we are collaborating to offer pro bono coaching and coach training that supports BIPOC. We are actively finding paths to support the underserved and underestimated in schools, healthcare, education, and places of worship. Together, we can shift our minds and hearts, one day at a time, to value, recognize, and create cultures of true equality which also fully respect and appreciate the rich contributions of our differences. Learn more about our current health equity initiatives Wellcoaches founder Margaret Moore co-founded the Institute of Coaching in 2010 and donates a day a week to provide leadership and resources to the Institute and its bi-annual Coaching in Leadership & Healthcare conference. The conference serves leaders, physicians, healthcare providers, executive coaches, life coaches and health and wellness coaches. The Institute of Coaching offers a membership donation program to allow coaches to access a treasure trove of learning materials on the translation of science to coaching practice in the areas of leadership, health & wellness, and positive psychology. As a sponsor of the Institute of Coaching, Wellcoaches coaches receive a generous membership discount. Learn More Institute of Coaching National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching In 2010, co-founded and co-led by Wellcoaches CEO Margaret Moore, the National Consortium for Credentialing of Health and Wellness Coaches (NCCHWC) formed to build minimum standards and legitimacy for the role of health and wellness coaches. NCCHWC evolved to become the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), now a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Board of Medical Examiners, and launched the first national board certification for health and wellness coaches in 2017. The Wellcoaches Core Coach Training & Certification Program is an approved program by the NBHWC as a prerequisite for the NBC-HWC, national board certified health and wellness coach. The certification is based upon a best-practices certification examination content outline, which extensively references the Wellcoaches Coaching Psychology Manual . Learn More The Institute of Lifestyle Medicine was founded by Harvard physician Eddie Phillips, who co-authored a Harvard Health book with Wellcoaches founder Margaret Moore, titled Organize Your Emotions, Optimize Your Life. Eddie and the ILM are groundbreaking leaders in establishing lifestyle medicine in healthcare and medical education. The ILM offers live and online courses to provide the knowledge, skills, and tools for healthcare professionals to effectively and efficiently promote healthy lifestyle changes in their patients. Wellcoaches supports the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine through co-developing Harvard Medical School online CME programs and coaching curriculum for live events.
