Become a Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Info Session from UVM

Interested in helping people make healthy lifestyle changes? Now is the time to realize your goal of becoming a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) through the University of Vermont's Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate.

The Role of a Health and Wellness Coach
Often, people know what they need to do in order to lead a healthier life, but putting that knowledge into action can be difficult. Health and wellness coaches help people bridge the gap between a doctor’s advice and their own actions.

Health coaching is not about becoming a content expert in nutrition or exercise. Coaches work with people to define their goals, explore their values, and create personalized plans to achieve optimal well-being. According to The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), coaches are “an accountability partner, not a director, in navigating behavioral change.”

At UVM, our integrative health program will teach you how to support traditional treatment plans with complementary care and self-care. Integrative care involves many different aspects of health, including:

Food and nourishment
Exercise and movement
Stress management
Work-life balance
Healthy environment
Sleep and rest
Relationships and community
Mind-body connection
Self-compassion
