Health and wellness coaching professionals work in government, private, and nonprofit sectors as expert facilitators of sustainable change in mindset and behaviors. Health and wellness coaches are equipped with evidence-based coaching tools to help individuals improve and maintain healthy lifestyles. Students will be prepared to assess, plan, and help individuals implement health and nutrition lifestyle changes. The curriculum provides a solid foundation in essential theories of coaching science and the application of coaching skills, as well as how to assist clients with wellness mapping and practical hands-on mentoring. Employment settings include healthcare facilities, hospitals, state and local health departments, businesses, worksite wellness programs, and a variety of nonprofit organizations.
