If you’ve ever felt drawn to helping others live healthier, more balanced lives or you’re seeking more purpose and energy in your own, training as a Health and Wellness Coach could be the turning point.
Whether it’s gaining a deeper understanding of your own health, supporting family and friends, or launching a rewarding new career, these stories from four HCA graduates show just how far this path can take you.
From Self-Discovery to Supporting Others
For Chaneen, training as to be a Health and Wellness Coach was life-changing, not only for her, but for the clients she now supports:
“The personal growth I experienced through this course was immense! I’ve grown in confidence, gained direction, and I’m far more mindful and positive than when I began. I’m healthier, have more energy, and my life feels more balanced.”
Since qualifying, Chaneen has already helped clients achieve powerful results:
“One client lost 6 kgs in just six weeks. Another told me that health coaching saved their marriage by helping them show up more positively at home.”
Her new wellness-focused career is off to a strong start, with paying clients, group presentations and exciting collaborations lined up including one with a yoga instructor and another with a Neuro Coach.
Reclaiming Energy, Health and Confidence
When Sindiswa enrolled with HCA, she was searching for answers to her own health struggles during perimenopause. What she found was something far greater:
“Doing the HCA Health Coaching course has not only changed my life, it has transformed me.”
Before the course, Sindiswa battled daily brain fog and fatigue. Now, thanks to small, sustainable changes from improving her diet to embracing mindfulness and gratitude she feels like a new person:
“I now wake up every morning with renewed energy and a better mood. My memory has significantly improved and my family is happier too. I’m a much improved version of myself.”
Her journey is a brilliant example of how wellness coach training doesn’t just teach you how to support others, it equips you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your own wellbeing too.
A Meaningful Career in Health and Wellness Coaching
For Heather, the HCA course marked the beginning of a deeply fulfilling second career:
“I have a new career opening up before me which is exciting and fulfilling. The knowledge I’ve gained has given me the confidence to make beneficial changes in my life and those of my family, friends, volunteers, and new clients.”
What stood out most for her was the ethos behind the training:
“The mentors, team, and founders have such warmth and sincerity. There’s a thread that runs through everything at HCA: the desire to empower people to be the healthiest they can be—in every respect.”
“To see people’s lives transform, and to be a part of that transformation, is a privilege. I’ve made lifelong friends and my life has changed for the better.”
Living the Message: Wellness Coaching from the Inside Out
Elsa describes her training as a personal and professional journey that reinforced one essential truth:
“Our health is at the core of everything in our lives.”
Through the course, she’s not only helped others, but developed a calmer, more focused, and self-aware version of herself, using the same coaching tools to reflect on and improve her own life.
Now, as a qualified Health and Wellness Coach, Elsa is supporting others through 1:1 sessions and group work:
“I already have a number of clients who have signed up and co-host a local menopause support group in collaboration with a natural health and therapy centre.”
