If you want to become ANY kind of Coach, HCI is for you!
I already knew that becoming a coach was the next move in my life path, and when I found HCI online, and read about their program - I signed up right away! Their financing option is amazing and made it possible for me to start right away!
The curriculum, online platform, community, support, and the TRIBE are beyond amazing!! I also attended my first HCI LIVE event in Phoenix, AZ in April 2018 and it was a LIFE CHANGING experience!!
I just because a Certified Health Coach through their Become a Health Coach (BHC) program, and I just started the included Life Coaching Certification course!
I am also extremely excited to say that I signed up for HCI's Mastery course (also known as the Holistic MBA) while at HCI LIVE, and I cannot wait to start that year-long program in August 2018!! I cannot say enough good things about the Health Coach Institute!!!!

HCI is magical!
HCI is magical! Yes, you'll get the foundational pieces, like the marketing & business strategies to help you get a business started doing what you know you were meant to do. You'll get the simple step-by-step tools which will allow you to do this quickly and easily. Check that magic box! The real magic shows up when you start doing the work itself. It will change you, and you will start to become the person you always knew yourself to be, but were too afraid to show up as. I have found my true passion and each day I'm finding more and more of who I am as a coach and an authentic human being. Thank you HCI for this gift - You ROCK!!!!!!

Out of My Box!! Thank you Health Coach Institute
I am a full time United States Army Soldier. I have been in 18 years. When I began my journey with HCI, I remember my first interview like it was yesterday. What I appreciated the most about this experience is they took about an hour asked me questions about basically why I think I would be a great fit for the program and assess whether I believe the program was great for me. Can we say Yasss!!!!
I enrolled immediately and began my journey. I had many setbacks throughout the time, althought the program is a six month program, you were given a 6 month grace period( essentially a year to complete the program from your start date). I really appreciated that due to the fact that I am still on active duty.
Content: I appreciated the time, effort, heart and soul given in each module, each lesson, and most importantly in each handout. The lessons were informative, gave you a sense of understanding immediately and worth every penny I have invested.
Life Coach Certification: Well, Well, Well... I am now a Health Coach and was offered an additional certification and that is to become a Life Coach. Health Coach Institute realize that potential and current clients are speaking to their (HCI) coached about life situations that surround their health and wellness choices, so what they do, they create BLC program...again why not invest in someone, something, or training program that invests in you?
ANHC: I am now enrolled in their advanced nutrition program. HCI has so much to offer and provides all the tools and resources available to get you started.
I am ready to get the ball rolling now, there is much work to be done and I did wait until I was complete with everything to start my website and launch my blog. However, out of my box, means I have got out of my head and out of my way; HCI created a platform and framework for me to effectively do that. The key is to being open and receptive to putting in the work once you are complete with all the training. The key is to seeking advice and continuing on with your education, as you never stop learning and you have to stay relevant. HCI does a great job facilitating that for you. I would absolutely recommend this training to anyone who is serious about becoming a change agent in the health and wellness community.

I highly recommend this program to anyone that wants to become a master of their craft and passion. Prior to joining Health Coach Institute I was certified as a Health Coach, but I was so boring! I sounded like a walking billboard of what not to do's. I basically was taught to shame my clients into changing. I knew this was not how I wanted to treat my clients and I said so during the program. My passion and sense of vision for my clients was met with resistance. I continue to search for that right program and I have not been disappointed with Health Coach Institute for one second. My first few weeks of class all I did was cry with joy. This program Rocks!

It is definitely worth the investment
It is definitely worth the investment. You will end up saving so much money in the long run by choosing to go through HCI. I have been a Wellness Coach for 3 years and have run into all the problems that HCI addresses and teaches you to work through. They are extremely knowledgable. Trust me, I've lived it the other way!
Their BHC program helps you get started in more ways than you can imagine! The layout is flexible for full time workers like myself. If you have questions, there are plenty of Success Coaches to help you navigate, as well as access to your own class via a Facebook Group which has been extremely beneficial! They also do office hours every other week, as well as other little extra nuggets via Facebook along the way. For an online course, it is extremely interactive!
They are very invested in your growth process as well, so I promise you will have your own transformation going through this program. Wins all around!
There are occasional technical difficulties, as well as some grammatical errors on the content. This in no way takes away from the content.
Note: The reason I chose this program was because I needed to learn how to COACH. They do give you basic nutritional information and being in the health and wellness field myself I do believe the information provided is plenty enough to get clients where they need to be. There were actually simplified tools that I loved, and had never used with clients before. In fact, in the past I have been coaching with information ONLY and have had clients get NO WHERE. I am coaching one of my old clients through this new style and she had a huge breakthrough in the 3rd session around food and her nutritional needs. If you are looking for an abundance of nutritional content, this program may not be for you. But if you are looking for a program that teaches you how to COACH, there is no question that this program is the one you should do. I needed to learn how to coach to get results, I plan on always continuing my education through other certifications and my own research to gain more knowledge as I grow.
