About a Career as a Wellness Coach

When you become a wellness coach, you will have an interesting, flexible, and rewarding career helping people set and achieve goals for optimal well-being.

As a wellness coach, you can help clients to take stock of their lifestyle and make choices that lead to healthier outcomes. By using a holistic, natural approach that centers on a mind-body connection, you will help establish routines that encourage people to relax, eat better, or eliminate bad habits.

When you become a wellness coach, you will work with individuals to create transformation goals beyond those provided by their healthcare providers, such as yoga or healthy cooking.

You could specialize in providing wellness coaching services to diverse populations such as seniors or baby boomers, people living with chronic illness, new moms, or people with weight challenges.

As the owner of a wellness coaching business, you will have the freedom to choose the types of clients and wellness coaching you want to do, and enjoy the financial rewards of being your own boss. For example, if you provide wellness coaching services for corporations at the executive level you could earn $100 or more per hour.
