Doing this program has had such a positive impact on my life. This program has made me a coach living an abundant life and because of that, I can create an atmosphere of true caring for the clients I am coaching. I am focused, caring, and centered. My clients love working with me.

This coaching training is very complete, structured. What I like that address the client problem at the root of the issue. Address behavior change. It is a real transformation.

All the information for becoming a health coach is wonderful. I would love to see additional information regarding becoming a life coach. The course certifies participants to become life coaches as well, but 95% of the content thus far is regarding “ becoming a health coach.” I did notice this week that additional modules have been placed on the dashboard. In the next module I hope to see additional life coaching tools. Thank you for this opportunity.

I did a lot of research before I jumped into just any Health and Life Coach certification program. The Health Coach Institute stood head and shoulders above all of the programs I researched. HCI parallels and aligns with my coaching skills and values. This program and curriculum is a perfect for me and my new coaching business. I am very pleased with everything and I am super excited to be a part of this top notch program.

What’s been great is the simplicity of the model to become a health and life coach the leaders have made the program and the availability of resources.

Not worth $5,000.00.
Basically teach yourself and are responsible for finding clients in order to complete the course.
I will not be accredited after completing this course. That was not what I was led to believe when I signed up and paid for the course.
Very disappointing.

I have enjoyed the program. I have had to take a break but hope to resume Pillar 2 this month. Looking forward to completing my certification!!

I found the Health Coach pillar extremely informative and the guidance through learning the OTR and sessions for health coaching was very detailed. However, the Life Coach pillar I felt was rushed and skimmed over. I don't feel as prepared to coach in any life coach skills due to the lack of detail in each of these areas. I also found that the similarities between each 12 week sessions throughout the life coach pillar were repetitive and redundant. I was really hoping to see more variety or at least options for variety in the event that clients repeat their 12 week sessions. It is nice that these are editable to work best for my coaching style, however, I was hoping to feel a little more prepared to coach on these topics than I do at this point.

It’s good but I feel that there should be a booklet or something tangible to read along with or use as an up and coming Health and Life Coach.
Somewhere to go and have a point of reference.
Like, Session 1 -
And it’s tabbed
Then, Digging questions
And it’s tabbed.
Something.
Because now I have to go back and print but the stuff I print also has video info and session info
It’s overwhelming and then confusing.
I would love booklets, workbooks, or some point of reference as I’d get if I went to a physical training for a position.
Love,
Cara

The experience was amazing. Eventhough I am already a certified coach, I found the program structure and exercises helpful. Great content! I still need to figure out the marketing piece. Hopefully, one of their suggestions will work for me. Still testing marketing suggestions. Overall, very satisfied.

This was a necessary evil. It wasn’t horrible nor was it great. I expected a challenge something to make this career shift challenge me. I found that most of this course work was mimicking other books I’ve already invested time in.
The course work was mostly silly, quip filled, nervous laughter filled, feel good instructional videos.

I had been contemplating the opportunity to become a student of HCI. Twice now, I have spoken with a “clarity coach” to entertain important questions that are raising concerns. With each call, I have asked about the accreditation (or lack of)… and also on the webinar Q/A. The coach never gives a cogent answer as to why there is no U.S. accreditation; yet they like to flaunt their international credentials (that most likely, cannot be investigated). The most recent response is: “HCI is a non traditional school of learning and because we have no grading system, we are not recognized by the Dept. of Education in the U.S.” In my research, I am finding that other training programs carry U.S. institutional accreditations. There are many besides the Dept. of Education. The coach became very defensive in her posture and withdrew her jovial demeanor. I am also finding that HCI’s marketing is their focus… do whatever it takes to rope ‘em in. From the many comments on Trust Pilot, it appears they have achieved their goal. I have experienced this business tactic before and it is obvious they care more about the money. Reading the unfavorable Trust Pilot comments has only confirmed for me, that HCI is running a game that young, gullible coeds will grab hold of, because they just don’t know any better. After attending the webinar, I got the impression the presenters weren’t very polished themselves. You could learn this very basic stuff on your own, that is, if you don’t already know it. So THANKS for confirming my suspicions… I’ll keep looking for a REAL certification program.

The classes are very comprehensive. You learn a lot about every aspect of health and personal wellbeing. The overall atmosphere of HCI is very supportive, encouraging, and empowering. You get a lot of support from your cohort peers. You get a lot of resources to use with clients. They give you scripts if you need them and tell you you don't have to use it if it is not a good fit I will probably not use the 90 day program The only thing is the lifecoaching information was so full of information which was great, but it would've been helpful if we could've spent more time on that material and practicing with it. Overall a great program!

This had been an amazing experience and I am still learning with the bonus section which is super helpful.
It is a lot of information and can be overwhelming but I felt like there was a lot of support when needed. The face book page for skills lab was a little much. Too busy and too much going on.
Carey and Stacey, AMAZING!! Loved listening to how they started and their stories.
I am so glad I decided to take a leap and become a health/life coach

As with all growth experiences there are growing pains. I am currently floundering a little with all the aspects of getting my business ready to accept new clients. There is a sea of choices and would find it helpful to have an example guide, like the program offers for each of the sessions.

It's not that something went wrong but something not offered which was not being able to speak with someone on the phone regarding an issue I was trying to resolve.
I was had joined a live session to be able to ask the question but it was not answered.
Through emails I was informed they could not call me.
I realize this is an online course. I took online classwork before a couple times but for me it is pertinent that when certain issues arise I can't count on someone taking a call to be able to walk through something with me.
I have completed all my weekly videos and quizzes. I'm sure they have their reasons why they don't allow phone calls but it's not good for me. They say go to a live session or go to Facebook... But seriously if you need support then a support line/advisor type person should be able to help.
I've really enjoyed the coursework and learning under the instructors, this is my only issue but it's a big issue for me to have that extra confidence knowing when I need a lil extra help I'm able to get it and keep moving on.

Don't fall for this scam!!! They make you pay $37 to listen to a one hour, high pressure sales call. The "program" ultimately will cost you $8,000.00 if you fall for it. Don't. They misuse the name of Dr. Axe. The person you talk to is not a health practitioner or even a coach, just a lowly salesman. If you do the math, the price you will pay to actually talk to a holistic health practitioner is $1,500 per hour!!! Surely you can find a real, local doctor to help you for 1/10th of that cost.
