I’m happy to announce my promotion to Director of Health Coaching at Castle Connolly Private Health Partners, LLC. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to continue growing within such an innovative company and fearless leaders. A special thanks to Susan Greeley, MS, RDN and Dean McElwain for this opportunity!

???? After more than three years running a wellness business, I’m now halfway through my journey to becoming a Certified Health and Wellbeing Coach! I have group training sessions and additional practical hours left to complete, with plans to graduate next year. Since I don’t have a medical degree, I started from the basics and committed to at least 3+1 courses to earn two certifications. This is no short course – it’s a long journey, almost like earning a second master’s degree! ?? #Wellcoaches is a highly regarded institution, recognized by numerous medical education bodies. The certifications I’m pursuing are endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. It’s a huge honor to go from being a patient to now sitting alongside doctors, nurses, and specialists from diverse medical fields as classmates. ???? Anyone can call themselves a “coach,” but for me, becoming a coach means holding certified credentials that meet international standards. (So please, not “coach” yet – just call me “#New” or “#TraineeCoach” for now! ????) For ERTIGO, we’re making this happen! =========================================== I’m also attaching my latest certificate so you can see how it counts toward credits and practice hours for both medical professionals and coaches. ?
