The wellness coaching class will teach the student current, best practice counseling techniques using collaboration with participants to identify and set realistic, measurable and time based goals, for changing behaviors that will support a healthy lifestyle. This is a paradigm shift away from prescribing health behavior changes giving the participant motivational "buy-in". The student will receive a Wellness Coaching certification from the National Society of Health Coaches upon successful completion of this course and a test pass completion of a NSHC certification examination.
