I passed! 🥳 I'm happy to announce that I'm now officially a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and I'm excited to support my POTSie clients even better! 🚀
I was beaming the whole way home from the printing shop with my certificate in hand. 😁
Just a few years ago, I barely knew what a health coach actually did, and now it is a privilege to join the other 7,000 board-certified coaches. I couldn't be happier.
I'm honored to be part of a growing field, and it has been so inspiring to see the birth of a new era of medicine, one where:
🎈 patients are empowered to make decisions, and health coaches help them do that
🎈 doctors work alongside health coaches in helping patients make lifestyle changes to see positive improvements in their health
🎈 a holistic model of healthcare in which patients are listened to and properly supported.
Also, the fact that The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching joined forces with the National Board of Medical Examiners (they develop and administer physician licensing examinations in the US) in establishing this certification exam speaks volumes.
It is proof that health coaching is shaping up to become an essential part of healthcare. ✊
So, all in all, I'm happy and excited to see what the future holds! 🌅
