This course is for you if....

  • You’re a Health Coach looking to earn a certificate in a niche area of health.
  • You've developed a pattern of dealing with your emotions by reaching into the fridge or pantry even when you're not hungry, triggering feelings of shame and guilt.
  • You struggle with body image and want to live in a body you love.
  • You want to empower your clients in developing enjoyable and sustainable habits around food that support overall health and well being.

I'm not coaching the same way anymore. I’m becoming aware and putting aside my biases. I feel so empowered to explore within myself personally as well as in my coaching practice.

Jennyfer Aranda Berg

I have clear guidelines for my emotional eating clients and am supporting them with great confidence. Two new clients signed up with my 1:1 Program, and I have people on a waiting list.

Kanna Laird

I learned a lot and am working toward a kinder, more tolerant attitude about myself. What really sticks in my mind is using food to deny or ignore emotions! This resonates a lot for my clients, too.
