About this course

Health coaching is a unique clinical practice or skill based on evidence from positive and behavioural psychology.

It provides a framework for client-centred, client-driven coaching that takes a health-focussed (not weight-focussed) approach to healthcare. 

This course contains the theory and evidence behind health coaching and was created by nutritionist, author, and researcher Dr Cliff Harvey and renowned health coach Michelle Yandle. 

Who is it for?

If you have a passion for learning more about health coaching and want to know more about its background and theories, this is the course for you. This course is great as a standalone course for interest or as a continued education opportunity for existing health practitioners.

This course had so much more than how to be a successful health coach, it overlaps into problem-solving skills for both yourself and your nearest and dearest. This course has seen more clients and family reach their goals successfully as I now partner with them in uncovering what they truly desire not some predestined idea of what I believe health is.
