Elevate Your Skills. Empower True Change.

You entered this field to make a meaningful differenceโ€”to walk alongside people as they work toward healthier, more connected lives. But if youโ€™ve ever felt stuck, wondering whether your current approach is enough to support deep, lasting transformation, youโ€™re not alone.

Nested Health Coach Certification was created for professionalsโ€”therapists, nutritionists, and other care providersโ€”who are ready to go further. This training doesnโ€™t replace your clinical skills; it enhances them. Youโ€™ll gain practical coaching tools, behavior change frameworks, and mind-body strategies that help your clients take action, follow through, and truly grow. All without starting from scratch.

Two Powerful Phases. One Career-Defining Certification.

Part I: The Foundations of Trauma-Informed Behavior Change

In Part I, youโ€™ll build a strong foundation in the science of safety, regulation, and behavior change. Through a trauma-informed lens, we explore how nervous system states shape readiness for change and how to foster trust, autonomy, and resilience in client sessions. Topics include nervous system regulation, trauma-informed nutrition, self-determination theory, non-violent communication, and neuroplasticity. This part includes six live classes and asynchronous content to support flexible learning.

Part II: Advanced Approaches to Behavior Change

Part II focuses on building practical coaching skills through live, interactive sessions. Youโ€™ll deepen your understanding of motivational interviewing, client-centered communication, goal setting, and behavior change theories. This part includes coaching labs, practical skill assessments (PSAs), and sessions on legal and ethical considerations, coach self-care, and professional development. Youโ€™ll practice real coaching scenarios, receive feedback, and gain confidence in your ability to support clients through meaningful change.

Why do you need a health coach certification?

If youโ€™re already a therapist, nutritionist, or healthcare provider, you may be wonderingโ€”do I really need a health coach certification?

The truth is, clinical knowledge alone isnโ€™t always enough to create lasting change. Clients often know what to do, but struggle to follow through. Thatโ€™s where coaching comes in. A health coach certification gives you the tools to bridge that gapโ€”offering evidence-based behavior change techniques, motivational interviewing skills, and mind-body practices that help clients take action, stay accountable, and sustain progress over time.

Nested Health Coach Certification is designed specifically for licensed and emerging professionals. It builds on the expertise you already have, so you can expand your scope, enhance your impact, and bring a coaching lens to the work you're already doingโ€”without starting over or going back to school full-time.
