There are many training options to become a certified Health Coach — especially in the United States — but not all are recognized by the most respected accrediting bodies. I chose Duke Health & Well-Being, part of Duke University, one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S. The program is accredited by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) — two international benchmarks of quality, professionalism, and integrative vision.
