The HCI DOES NOT Disappoint!
The continuous connection to Carey and Stacey through live chat and video opportunities increased motivation, validity, authenticity, and trust as we processed through the lessons. The fact that most of the training videos included Carey and Stacey also increased my interest and improved the legitimacy of what we were trying to learn. I had a few minor technology issues with the user friendly status of locating information and with recognizing when and where to add comments. But overall it was a great, fulfilling, and quality experience. Thank you very much for offering this rich and productive program.

Pathway is not worth the investment
I have invested lots of money with HCI and when I was told about Pathway and how it will prepare me for the National Boards well that’s far from the truth … and it’s disheartening that nothing was done about it. I had to pay for outside training and studying for the Boards. I do not recommend Pathway.

Hi Regina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly value your input.
Upon careful review of your account, we see that one of our dedicated Pathway Faculty members reached out to you earlier this year to address your concerns. We genuinely believed that the issues you raised were resolved at that time. However, we're sorry to hear that you didn't have the experience you were hoping for.
We want to clarify that Pathway is designed to be an enriching educational experience, fulfilling the eligibility requirements to apply and sit for the NBHWC-certifying exam. While participating in the course will undoubtedly help you prepare for the exam, it's essential to remember that it complements your studies and further exam preparation, rather than replacing them.
As an NBHWC-approved course, Pathway surpasses the NBHWC's published standards for health and wellness coach training and education. We take immense pride in delivering high-quality content and ensuring our students receive the best possible training.
It's also important to note that NBHWC doesn't review, endorse, or sponsor any test prep courses. If you have any specific questions about the exam application process or the exam itself, we encourage you to reach out directly to [email protected] for accurate and comprehensive information.
If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or if you have any further questions or concerns, please reach our support team at [email protected].

My experience was great because Stacey…
My experience was great because Stacey and Carey are so relatable, grounded and common sense in their teaching approach. Their coaching system, which is very thorough, works 100% of the time. I have seen such transformation in all of my clients. The Health Coach Institute gave me the confidence to go out and share all the knowledge inside of me and my passion for fitness and wellness with the world.

The HCI Community is AMAZING!
HCI is a great program to get you into the coaching space. The program helps you get grounded around your own areas that may need some coaching and the support in their BHLC program is great. I really appreciated the peer coaching sessions more than I thought I would and find those to be of high value even after completing the program. As a graduate of TCM as well, I found that program to go much more in depth as far as coaching is concerned and the business plan. However, I would say it could be good to go outside of HCI for the advanced course as I crave other approaches to building a business now too. Stacey and Carey are great as well as the other coaches who support us and I think it is a good idea to branch out to other sources for the more advanced ways to coach and building your business.
