I love this program totally worth the investment if you know you want to be a life coach! The creators of HCI are active with everyone! They have created a wonderful layout and teaching program to easily guide you! If you have any questions there team are usually quick to respond and very sincere!!!! I totally recommend! (I am 3/4 of the way to my certification!)

I registered at HCI in Nov 2021
I registered at HCI in Nov 2021. I just lost my mother a few months prior to the pandemic of cancer. A few years before that, I lost my father to the same disease. Forced to work from home, I decided to make a change. I wanted to learn how to live healthier and get out of my own way of self - sabotage. HCI was a game changer. Going through this program has helped me challenge myself and overcome behavioral obstacles slowing me down. The fear of not believing I could, turned to confidence through proper habit change. I am now striving daily and falling in love with A Better Version of me! Thank you Carey & Stacey......

Do not sign up for this program!!
Do not sign up for this program!!! They don't teach anything of value. They want you to read scripts when coaching and that just does not work! The most import thing to consider is getting clients. They don't help you at all and don't guide you to find clients. I completed the program and I could not even find practice clients
Response from Health Coach InstituteAug 24, 2023
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! I'm so sorry to hear that you struggled with finding practice clients. Please know, practice clients can be friends, family members, spouse, colleagues, etc. We try to make this flexible so that you can find two practice clients that you are comfortable with.
When working with your practice clients, we recommend using the scripts closely so that you begin to learn the structure of a session. Once you are off on your own, however, we encourage you to take what you've learned from the scripts and make them your own. If it suits your style to be more free flowing, that's great! Some students feel stressed at the thought of not having a plan, so we try to implement a full script for every session. This way, you can also ensure your session does not go off topic and you're able to get the best results for your client.
We also recommend utilizing the Business and Marketing section of your course (Pillar 4) so that you can learn tools on finding and retaining paying clients.
We hope that you give your training another chance, Jennifer, and explore all that coaching has to offer.
Thank you again for your time!

I registered for Health & Life coaching…
I registered for Health & Life coaching in December 2021. I was looking to become a certified coach and ended up gaining way more than expected. I gained tools, how to create my own program, helped with networking with like minded individuals around the world and a pillar on how to open your business. HCI has provided me with all the tools that one would need to operate or start their own coaching business. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to becoming a coach.

HCI was life changing for me
HCI was life changing for me. Arguably the best program to not only become a certified health and life coach but also the business tools and techniques to successfully launch your own coaching practice. Just Brilliant trully.
Thank you Coaches one and all but especially Lawrence, Stacey and Carey and my "partner in crime" the my whole experience Carrin
