Become a health coach, and change lives

Are you fascinated with nutrition and natural ways to be healthy? Would you love to have the skills to improve the health, happiness and wellbeing of others? Perhaps you would like to change your own health and find a brand-new purpose in life?

Then consider a new career as a Health Coach, one of the fastest-growing professions in the world. You can be qualified and making a difference to yourself and others in less than a year.

What is health coaching?

Have you ever made New Year’s resolutions to improve your health, wellbeing or fitness and found, like 85 percent of us, that by the third week in January they are a thing of the past? It can be difficult to change the way we eat and live our lives – we have so many deeply ingrained habits that can be hard to break. A health coach works alongside clients to re-think the way they live and create a new set of lifestyle habits underpinned by a clear vision for health and wellness. Health coaches then provide the support and accountability to achieve them, overcoming barriers and challenges along the way

Why are Health Coaches needed now more than ever?

With the spiralling worldwide statistics for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer, there is more awareness around lifestyle factors that can help in preventing poor health. With the post-pandemic pressure on health services, people are beginning to take more responsibilty for their own health. Prevention is better than cure, so knowing what we can do to prevent or better manage disease and having the right support to make these changes is key. Health coaching is a six-billion-dollar profession in the US and has more recently taken off in South Africa, as we recognise an area of healthcare that has not yet had sufficient focus – mindset and behaviour change. That’s exactly how a health coach can help.

I have never experienced anything close to this course - partly because the team is so passionate - what I experienced at the live training was life-changing. You have empowered us so we can empower others. So professional, but so person-centred and a feeling of being part of the HCA ‘family’ too.

Could you be a good Health Coach?

Most health coaches who train with the Health Coaches Academy have their own story that led them to the profession. This could be their own health issues that reached crisis point, which was the case with co-founder Carolyn St John Loder, who lost her own health trying to juggle a corporate career with being a mother to three children and regained it following a health coaching approach.

Whatever story brings people to us, the common theme is a deep desire to do something positive to change the quality of lives of others, a fascination with natural ways to promote health and wellness and a strong desire to work in this field and do something that really matters. Does this resonate with you?
