Comments on: How to Start a Wildly Successful Health Coaching Business in 2024 https://www.luisazhou.com/blog/become-a-health-coach/ Business Coaching Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:37:58 +0000 hourly 1 By: Vivian Bills https://www.luisazhou.com/blog/become-a-health-coach/#comment-70558 Wed, 06 Mar 2024 12:30:32 +0000 https://www.luisazhou.com/?p=6331#comment-70558 Thank you, Luisa. This was the information I have been looking for. I am just starting my health coaching business and have found it overwhelming. I have been a nurse for 15 years with the last year working in Chronic Care Management. My 9-5 is helping people make lifestyle changes to improve their health due to chronic diseases such as CKD, hypertension, and diabetes. It seems the babyboomers and my generation (I think I’m generation x) are the first two generations with increased health risks showing up in later years due to poor lifestyle choices. Across the board, I have noticed that with lifestyle changes these people are improving their life and health. So, that is my niche. Just not sure how to narrow it down.

I haven’t started a coaching business yet. I was introduced to coaching and Podcasts only 2-3 years ago. I have listened to so many coaches and Podcasts, which has been very inspiring and motivating but I noticed one thing that lacked in all of that was living with chronic autoimmune disease, and that is my niche. I have been grappling with diseases for a few years, of which I have many, and my mind was all over the place until I decided it was time to self-coach and did my coaching certificate on mindset. I became determined that being ill was not going to define me and I have learned certain tools to live with disease and not lose “me” in the process. I am uncertain if I should host coaching programs, or stick to blogs and Podcasts, or write a short book that people can purchase and read and learn in their own time and apply the coaching model I will discuss. There is definitely a life with lupus and I am proof of that. My program is titled “The elegant mindset” with a touch of Je Ne Sais Quoi. I have had my first book published in 2021 titled “Living Life Lupair” where I wrote about my lupus journey. It was an amazing feeling achieving this but honestly speaking it wasn’t the hit I thought it would be. So am ready to jump back on the wagon with a different approach.

I am in the process of completing my health coach certification and absolutely want to start my own coaching business. After working as a nurse/nurse practitioner for 16 years, the chronic diseases that keep rearing their ugly head are diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. I’m thinking my niche may be to focus on clients with those specific health conditions and work with them on the 3 factors that commonly fall into causing those issues/making them worse (smoking, diet, exercise). Not sure if that’s fine tuned enough, but I’m working on it. Is that too broad?

I am the energy healer and my huge headache is how to transform my business from “single session one” (Ihave beed there definitely too long) to more program-oriented one. I am aware that most my present clients simply will quit. Somethimes they expect discounts for single session so no way they will pay for programs. How to do such business transition? Do you offer any courses/training what can be helpful? Thanks

I have 2 BAs one in health and wellness and the other in complementary and alternative health plus a certified health coaching from ISSA. I still want to know what my niche is because I have helped many women in the past as an intimate specialist through retail. I have so many ideals but not sure of what it is that I can offer to clients.

However, edging on almost 40 myself and having lived much fo my live with chronic health conditions (in part due to kidney disease, dialysis, and two kidney transplants amongst other health challenges), I seek a better work-life balance where I can have my own working time and more dedicated family/life/personal time balance. I really would love to embrace my chronic health experiences along with being a Registered Nurse for almost 16.5 years and channel that into being a health coach for those around my age and older that are living with chronic illness and trying manage them better and have the best quality of life. I really hope it’s something I can do and work towards and seek guidance on how to get started!

The numbers don’t lie, you just have to read them correctly. Started my business as a stress relief coach and found out the internal stress determines how we react to the external stress.

I have my health coach certification and I actually work as a weight loss coach for a company. We help members with emotional health, nutrition, exercise and sleep. I really want my own coaching business, as I’m barely getting by on this salary and want more control over my schedule and content-creating. I love all of these areas we coach people on, as they all encompass wellness, so how do I choose just one for my niche? Maybe the area I enjoy coaching on the most? For all the other aspiring coaches here, I can tell you it is very rewarding and I wish you the best!

I am doing a lot of researching and getting educated without going to school. You really helped me a lot. Thank you. My niche will be about health and fitness just haven’t thought of what to actually use as my niche. I’m sure I will figure that out as I do more research.
