ACE health coach?
Hi am a bit confused on the whole coaching thing. I would like to expand my knowledge but having a hard time deciding which route to go. I am a stay at home mom with a personal training cert. and working on aquiring all the head knowledge before i go out into the field. I would like to access people as whole, fitness, mindset, lifestyle, etc. I see there are wellness coaches, life coaches, and now I see ACE has a health coach certificate. I was also considering the ACE lifestyle and weight management coach. Any thoughts out there on which gives you the most info and freedom to work with peolple on all aspects of health.
Thanks
Hi Jenn,
ACE Lifestyle and Weight Management Coach has very recently been renamed and is now called ACE Health Coach.
I have held this certification since 1995 and pretty much used the knowledge as part of my personal training. I do not do coaching by itself.
Since much of the coaching revolves around weight management, by mindful of what you can and cannot do which is largely determined by state regulation. For example, writing meal plans is something that I MUST not do even if I think I can.
Good luck in your search.
