How to launch a successful health coaching practice

Would you love to turn your passion for health and wellness into a new career in health coaching and start your own successful business?


Or are you perhaps already nearing the completion of your health coaching diploma and eager to take the next step in launching a thriving practice? 


Aspiring Health & Wellness Coaches often ask questions such as:


  • What does starting out as a Health Coach really look like?

  • How will I find clients for my Health Coaching business?

  • Can I make a living from Health Coaching? 

  • How can I grow a thriving Health Coaching practice?


At HCA, we fully understand these thoughts and are committed to guiding you through every step of the process, from student to successful, practising Health Coach. 


Here are 3 ways that we help you to prepare for and thrive in your Health Coaching practice post-graduation:


1. Done-for-you Health Coaching tools


Your HCA Diploma includes access to a beautifully designed library of ready-made health, nutrition and coaching tools and programmes that have been carefully created and refined through years of practical experience working effectively with health coaching clients. 


These tools serve as invaluable resources, guiding both Health Coaches and their clients on a journey towards holistic wellbeing. From personalised nutrition plans and time-management techniques to goal-setting and core value frameworks, they are designed to empower individuals to take ownership of their health and make sustainable lifestyle choices.

During the course, students learn and become experts in each tool. This helps them adjust their methods to fit each client's unique needs after qualifying, making it easier to hit the ground running as a Health Coach.


Students have shared how these tools have made a big difference not only in their journey to becoming a Health & Wellness Coach, but also to their own lives. 


“My belief and confidence in myself are currently sky-high, and the best part is that I never stop coaching and pushing myself to achieve more, which is something I struggled with in the past. I would make progress, then always fall back into bad habits, ending up back where I started. But now, armed with all the tools to see lasting progress, I can continue to build on them for a lifetime, and of course, help others to do the same.” - Chris, HCA Graduate 

2. An 'Essential Launch Formula'


With a team of highly experienced Nutrition Business Mentors and years of business mentoring to this profession, we have created a unique ‘Essential Launch Formula’ to help students create a successful career as a Health & Wellness Coach. This proven method has helped thousands of people to create thriving health coaching businesses.


Taught in the final pillar of the course, the formula covers crucial aspects such as:


  • Client acquisition strategies, 

  • Effective marketing techniques

  • Establishing your own unique brand identity

  • Creating winning client packages


All of which are integral to launching and sustaining a successful practice.

During the course, students apply the formula by recruiting case study clients. We supply all the essential materials for this case study recruitment process. Many students discover that their practice clients often convert into paying ones,who continue to work with them after graduation. For instance, Odette shared:


“All of my case studies have continued as paying clients because they did so well as case studies. One of them has now lost 38kg and changed her life around completely! Just one month after graduating, I am running a full-time practice that is fully booked for the next three months. This includes my case studies and 11 new clients.”

At HCA we also assist with determining the appropriate pricing for your health coaching services. Setting the right pricing structure involves considering various factors, including:


  • Your geographical location and area of practice

  • Your level of expertise, qualifications, and experience

  • Any complementary services you may offer, such as nutrition coaching, fitness programmes etc.
