WHY HEALTH COACHES ARE IN HIGH DEMAND

THE GROWTH OF HEALTH COACHING

The people have spoken and have said that Health Coaches are in high demand! How do we know? Because it’s emerged as a $6.14 billion service industry, with strong hints that it’s continuing to grow.

This market value is up an impressive 15 percent from 2014 and is estimated to grow at a 5.4 percent annual pace. You read that correctly, 5.4 percent!

Guess where that puts health coaching as an industry come 2022? $7.85 billion, with an expected 121,000 coaches rocking and rolling and helping people live their healthiest, best lives.

Right now, Health Coaches and Health Educators are sitting at 109,000 professionals combined!

Are you interested in learning what kind of salary Health Coaches are pulling in?

On the low-end, Health Coach earnings add up to around $55,000, with high-end coaches reporting $100,000 and up for their annual salary. Not too shabby!

THE NEED FOR HEALTH COACHES

Did you know that we are sitting at an average annual healthcare expenditure of $2.7 trillion?

What’s more? Eighty-six percent of that expenditure is put towards individuals dealing with chronic and mental health conditions.

While these numbers may be shocking, we encourage you to see them as a nudge for you to follow your dream of becoming a Health Coach, because it seems the world truly needs you.

In America alone, sixty percent of the population expressed to a survey that they would love to work with a Health Coach! The disconnect? It seems that 80 percent of them have never had it offered to them.

With the predicted growth of the industry, it seems that the demand for Health Coaches will continue to skyrocket.

We can’t help but ask — what are you waiting for?

FINDING A CREDIBLE HEALTH COACHING CERTIFICATION

Do you remember that $2.7 trillion annual healthcare number threw out earlier?

Well, insurers and employers are catching wind of that and in the search for a solution, have turned their interest towards Health Coaches!

Insurance companies and employers are now looking to hire Health Coaches to minimize their claims costs and promote healthier lifestyles for their employees and plan members.

This has opened up a world of possibilities for Health Coaches, as they are now getting hired in private practices, doctor’s offices, to team up with other practitioners, and to run corporate wellness programs.

Insurance companies are also hiring Health Coaches to run disease prevention programs, such as diabetes and stress management.

The only downfall in the industry is the lack of regulation around certifications and what qualifies as a credible Health Coach.

With numerous health coaching certifications available, it’s essential that you do the research and invest your time and money into one that is credible and respected within the industry.

Here are 5 Things To Consider Before Enrolling In A Health Coaching School:

• Do they have accreditations and are they actually an approved and licensed school?
• What is the curriculum and how is it taught?
• Who will you be learning from?
• What is their mission and why were they started in the first place?
• What will the investment be?
