"Being in this program made me aware that I was my own client first before serving others. It made me see how I can serve others by getting in their map and allowing them to be. At the end of the program, I felt confident in my coaching skills. "

IMO - Morganstern is as phony as a three-dollar-bill
In my opinion, Stacey Morganstern is as phony as a three dollar bill. The initial sales pitch, 'I made $100K in my first year as a health coach!'
I didn't believe that line for a second, and still don't. The 'Become a Health Coach' 6-month course cost me nearly $5K. Fine, I can swallow that.
But these people have been in business for YEARS, and so far, NONE of it is accessible to hearing-impaired via closed captioning (which I discovered when I came across this complaint made by a prospective BHC student). This also is UNACCEPTABLE. In this day and age, the technology is there, and in the scheme of things, is relatively inexpensive, especially since HCI is making money hand-over-fist.
They recently .hyped up this 'Evolve Summit,' which was little more than a day-long infomercial with some 'coaching moments' with a few of the participants thrown in. 'For another $8K, you can take your business to the next level.'
Over the next 10 days, there were two ADDITIONAL 'offerings' for students to spend MORE money.
Yes, HCI is a business, but with the economy being what it is, the continual demands for more of my hard-earned money is just plain GAUCHE

"This program saved my life
"This program saved my life! I was very depressed and stuck in a rut and void of any energy and motivation to move my life forward. I knew I needed to change because I have a daughter who was looking up to me and I didn't want her to think this is the way life is. I came across HCI and the BHC program and knew right away this is what I needed to learn to live and love life again. I was able to change my way of thinking and bring myself out of depression and lean on God to help me get through it. Had I not taken this program and learned how to change my habits and way of thinking I would still be in the same rut and not able to help anyone else having the same struggles. I now look forward to the future and helping other women find their worth again. "

BEST. DECISION. EVER.
Wow, where to start? BHC has, hands down, been one of the best decisions of my life. For the past twelve years I had been trying to discover what I wanted to do with my life. I went to college and never found any program or degree that really resonated with my inner passion, I never felt like I fit into the normal 9-5 career path. I had always been interested in psychology but didn't feel the desire to go to school for ten years and then have to tend to my patient through strict ruled guidelines. When I stumbled upon BHC, curious about the new career path I had heard of called Life Coaching, I knew this was it. I fell in love with it when I went to their website and saw a video of Carey and Stacey. They showed me what was possible for my life and the vision I had saw in my mind but never out in the world. I didn't have the money at the time to pay for it but I knew this was a worthy investment that would pay me back ten fold and not just in dollars but in fulfillment. BHC has inspired, stretched, and challenged me in so many ways. I could of never imagined how much personal growth I would have as a result of being a part of this community. The best part is, it doesn't go away when you graduate, you know have a whole tribe with similar interests and values to stay connected with and grow with along your journey. I can not say enough good things about how BHC, Stacey and Carey and the whole tribe, have changed and inspired my life. I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have found this beautiful program and community, and to be on my way to creating a successful Women's Empowerment Coaching Business. Thank you BHC for being the love, light, and guidance that I have been craving my whole life. BEST. DECISION. EVER.

They changed my life!
I not only learned the tools to help clients with their struggles, but also learned so much about myself and how to meet my own needs! I recommend BHC and HCI so highly! The community and knowledge I’ve gained have completely changed my life for the better! I’m more vibrant and alive than I’ve ever been and that’s because of the journey I’ve through Health Coach Institute.

Truly Transformational
"My experience with the Become a Health Coach program with Health Coach Institute has been life-changing. Before BHC, I was a struggling teacher without a clear purpose. Enrolling in the health & life coaching programs and learning more about nutrition gave me clarity in a way that I haven't experienced before. Thanks to HCI, I have discovered my life's purpose and calling, and I wake up feeling inspired, confident, and connected! Thank you so much, HCI team!"

An evolution of Life
I have been in the Becoming a Health Coach program for 2 weeks now. And it has changed my limited belief system that I have been tolerating for way too many years! You will become a spirited, vibrant and courageous individual joining this program... The world you live in needs you.

Easy to use student portal, well worth the investment!
Enrolling in BHC allowed me an opportunity to further my education to achieve my goal of contributing to the Health and Wellness industry in a meaningful way. I chose Health Coach Institute initially due to its accredited certification. After starting the program, what I found incredibly helpful was that it is designed for success due to its motivationally 'blended learning style' approach which includes audible, visual, and transcription lesson delivery. Additionally, the easy to use Student Portal makes independent learning a breeze for all ages. My favorite optional tools provided are access to helpful graduate students through the Facebook group and the in person training events twice a year. In my honest opinion, having taken many online classes over the years, Health Coach Institute provides an affordable level of training that I would describe as elite. Learn, implement, and be making money within six months - it's completely possible!
