​
We find that people who enjoy this training the most, and those that get the most out of it, are committed to learning the latest science in health and well-being coaching, and are eager to learn the art and science of lifestyle medicine. While many are already working in the fitness, wellness, or healthcare industries, others are just getting started through our program.

  • Well-being enthusiasts seeking new ways to live and share a healthy and thriving lifestyle
  • ​Healthcare workers seeking new strategies for behavior change adoption, lifestyle medicine, and prevention

This program is a four-level program, starting with level 1: Genius Break Coach certification, and then continuing with Team Well-Being Coach and Yoga Coach certifications. There are no pre-requisites for level 1, and each level is designed to progress you forward. This approach helps those who are new to coaching to learn the practice of coaching in a step-by-step fashion.
Do I start with self-paced or live training First?
Your first two levels of training are completely self-paced, with live monthly calls so you can ask questions and also "test out" (receive coaching feedback). Then, you'll combine live and self-paced trainings in levels 3 - 4.  
Can I get continuing education credit?
Great news! Yes, continuing education credits are available from the Yoga Alliance (for RYT 200's and RYT 500's) and from the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (for NBC-HWC's). Other CEC's are available by request from other fitness, wellness, and healthcare  fields and organizations, so please inquire.
