If you are interested in health coaching, we recommend that you enroll in a National Council for Health and Wellness (NBHWC) – Accredited Training Program (Like mindbodygreen’s). NBHWC is a nationally recognized organization that has become the gold standard in the health training industry and works to ensure that professionals in this field are qualified and up to date with best practice.
