Wellness Coach Training Program
In our experience all coaching is coaching. Essentially coaching is a methodology designed to bring about change and to move someone from where they are now to where they want to be (in some instances coaches even help identify where their clients want to be). Core skills such as Reframing Perspectives or Asking Powerful Questions are the same skills no matter what niche you are in. What differs from niche to niche is your CLIENT and the MARKET they are in. For example parents have common issues with their children and can be found hanging out at schools, executives have common around staffing and work life balance or how to grow a business and can be found hanging out in companies. The difference is in your market, but your coaching model and your business model change but NOT in how you coach.
So we have put together what we know from experience is the best structure to “learn” your niche.
Core coaching skills in a cross-disciplinary or cross-niche environment
Wellness coaches can choose from one of the following three coach training programs to become a certified wellness coach:
1. Advanced Coach Training Program (156 hrs, ACTP)

Wellness Coaching Niche
Heath & Wellness Coaches, or those wanting to become a Health & Wellness coach can join a professional networking group led by a practicing expert wellness coach where they can discuss common issues facing their clients and their market. These groups meet monthly

Wellness Coaches are sought after professionals in today’s health conscious community. With a focus on prevention and work/life balance they are fast becoming a credible alternative to traditional solutions.

Research Paper: Is There A Continued Place For Life Coaching At The End Of Athletic Careers

Coaching Model: The Walk of Change
By: Colin BatchelorWellness, UNITED KINGDOM
My coaching model is aimed at helping clients overcome the inertia that comes from a fear of change. Change is an inevitable part of life. As we grow and develop we all change, sometimes these changes are subtle and sometimes they are dramatic, sometimes change happens as a natural part of our evolution and sometimes it happens to us, imposed on us by an outside ‘force’. But however that change occurs we will all at some time change and we will all at sometime feel a fear of change. -
Power Tool: Resistance Vs. Movement
By: Colin BatchelorWellness, UNITED KINGDOM
Many people want to move from the place they find themselves to a new location/situation. They may well know where that location/situation is or they may just know that they want to move, but be unsure of the ‘to where’. However for a number of reasons they don’t take that movement, they resist taking that movement. The resistance can take many forms and can have a variety of causes, if can have a mild impact on someone’s life or it can in extreme circumstances have a dramatic and dangerous affect. -

Coaching Model: The FUSE
Christine RusnakLife and Wellness Coaching, UNITED STATES
Utilizing the FUSE model, the client and coach will work together to evaluate the areas of life in which the client would like to address and enhance in order to achieve a life in which they feel complete, fulfilled, and genuinely living as their authentic self. In the first step, the client will identify the areas of their life that they would like to focus on, which are the Focus Areas. If the client is already aware of what areas need focus, they will be encouraged to prioritize them to designate the first area they would like to address, then the second area, and lastly, the third. If the client needs clarity of which areas they would like to address, then assessment tools can be utilized, such as the Wheel of Life.
