“Workplace wellness programs are emerging as a key building block in this new paradigm, helping promote a true culture of health in the workplace. These programs are based on prevention and integrated health management and are aimed at decreasing the burden of illness overall by focusing health management strategies ‘upstream’ from the onset of chronic disease. Rather than simply treating disease, wellness programs seek to keep healthy people healthy and bring people at high risk back from the brink of illness by managing health risk factors and promoting proactive health maintenance strategies.”

FAQs

What will I be prepared to do with this certification?
Once you complete your certification, you can advertise yourself as a Wellness Coach and charge appropriate fees for guiding your clients to their goals. You can offer your services to corporations, health clubs, integrative medicine wellness centers, hospitals, and weight loss clinics. In the coaching module, you will also learn practical aspects of the profession, such as contracts, fees and scheduling. Excellent graduates could be invited to help expand our Heart Healthy Living program nationwide.

Am I able to do all of the course online?
The course consists of reading four books, responding to digitally-delivered self-study assignments, participating in webinars and coaching sessions with Dr. LJ, attending a 3-day intensive workshop, and completing a final project that should reflect the direction you plan to take with your certification. So, most of the program is done in your own time, in your own home (or wherever you choose!).

Where will you offer the 3-day workshop?
Currently, we have workshops scheduled in Tampa, FL and Phoenix, AZ. As the program grows, we will offer additional locations.

What if I just can’t attend the workshop?
While we believe that the workshop is an integral part of solidifying the knowledge gained throughout the course, we understand that attendance isn’t feasible for some students. Students demonstrating significant barriers that prevent their traveling to the workshop (such as living in another country or experiencing extreme financial hardship) can receive alternative equivalency assignments in place of workshop attendance; need will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so please inform your program coordinator of your situation during your registration period.

How long will it take me to complete the course?
With limited exceptions, students have twelve months from registration to complete the program, with a recommend minimum of six months. We expect most students to take nine months.

Are there limitations to how one can represent themselves in various states?
Many states regulate the usage of certain professional titles, such as Dietitian, Nutritionist, Therapist, or Counselor. As you are not being trained to tell people what they should or not be eating or make medical recommendations, you should not use these titles, anyway. Coaching is more about holding a vision for your client, based on the input they have given you about their specific goals. You help them map out a plan of action and you hold them accountable for completing the steps that you have both agreed upon. Thus, after receiving your certification, you can accurately call yourself a Natural Wellness or Holistic Health Coach. You can further protect yourself by utilizing a disclaimer and by working with the client’s physician. Additionally, avoid blanket statement like “this will heal you” and never offer to diagnose or prescribe. As a coach, you educate and share inspiration and information.

Will the program satisfactorily prepare me to enter the field?
The requirements needed to obtain the Natural Wellness Coaching Certification are competitive with those for other allied health certifications. Consider the training required for emergency medical technicians, who are responsible for handling a variety of life-threatening emergencies. Based on federal guidelines, basic EMT certification takes around 150 hours to complete. Furthermore, many states now offer hybrid courses that combine online learning for didactic learning components with hands-on training for practical components. This is the approach taken by our Natural Wellness Coaching program. As you can see, 150 hours is more than enough to prepare an individual for an intensive career in the health sciences. Finally, our graduates actual must demonstrate mastery — not simply rote memorization — over the subject material by submitting a final project, which requires the student to synthesize natural wellness concepts in an innovative manner.

Will I be able to practice hypnotherapy with this certification?
Although this course will cover hypnosis-like techniques, it would not be proper to represent yourself as a hypnotherapist. However, you will have basic tools for behavioral modification and stress relief and be able to help your clients by teaching them to tap into their subconscious minds.

Are there further certifications beyond this one?
We are authorized to offer these advanced certifications to Natural Wellness Coaching graduates: Master Hypnotist (50 additional hours), Certified Hypnotherapist (150 additional hours), and Weight Management Consultant (50 additional hours). The former two programs will allow you to practice hypnotherapy.

Do you offer financing options?
Yes! We offer a monthly payment option with down payment. For payment in full, we offer a 10% discount. We also have an affiliate program where you receive $250 for every referral student who registers and pays for the class.
