National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)
The top priority today for individuals, teams, and organizations is training and development, coaching, and specialized support for health and well-being, mental health, and wellness initiatives. With a plethora of organizations providing health and wellness coaches and training and development programs, the qualifications for health and wellness coaches and consultants have become even more essential regarding standards, ethics, and relevant training. The National Board Certification credential (NBC-HWC), in collaboration with the National Board of Medical Examiners, represents this profession’s highest standard and is based on extensive research and specialized training, education, and assessment of the coaches who have met NBHWC’s specific criteria and standards.
In 2016, the organization began working with the National Board of Medical Examiners (nbme.org) to establish a board certification examination, which has since certified more than 3,000 health and wellness coaches in the fields of healthcare, employee wellness, government, and private practice. The National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coaching community is composed of trained, educated coaches, who are passionate about working with executives, clients, teams, organizations and patients for better health and well-being outcomes. The esteemed NBC-HWC credential represents training, education, and assessment standards, allowing for coaches and the profession to advance in all aspects of health care and wellness.

What is a Health & Wellness Coach?
Health and wellness coaches partner with clients seeking to enhance their overall well-being with the support of a coach for lasting changes that are aligned with their values. The work of health and wellness coaches display an unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, honoring the fact that each client is an expert on their own life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.
Our approach is customized to each client including a personalized strategic action plan, clear goals and objectives, accountability, transparency, communication, and practical tools to improve overall health and well-being.
Team success is directly linked to the resilience, well-being, empathy, and cohesion of the individuals. The healthier the individuals, the stronger and more successful the team. We help leaders develop high-value, high-performing teams and motivated and engaged employees.
Fully leveraging the health of an organization requires on-going focus, discipline, strategy and effort by CEO’s and their teams. Our team coaches design and lead a unique and proven process that will ensure the long-term establishment of culture, team, and organizational health.
