The ADAPT Health Coach Training Program offers more hours of support and mentorship than any other health coach training program we are aware of.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Board of Medical Examiners, the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic are speaking out in favor of, and employing, health coaches.
According to one global survey, 66 percent of people said they were aware of health coaching as a profession, and 31 percent said they’d undergone coaching personally.
Health coaching is potentially a $6 billion industry.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the industry is expected to grow by 11 percent by 2028, much faster than average.
