Become a Health Coach
I’ve always been in interested in health and wellness since I was a young girl
but in 2008, I graduated from nutrition school.
Since graduation, I have:
– starred in Glamour Magazine’s cooking show, “Treat Yourself”
– been featured on the cover of Newsday
– spoken on TV: The Doctor Oz Show, BET, NBC’s “Today in New York”
– been quoted in ELLE, People, Lucky, Bloomberg Business, Glamour, The Today Show
– started my own healthy living and recipe blog
– hosted events for healthy brands, like Athleta, Flywheel, Flybarre
– spoken at wellness lectures for companies like Goldman Sachs, Macquarie, Sweaty Betty and Athleta
– been featured on the cover of the Integrative Nutrition catalog (that’s me below!)
I get asked ALL of the time:
- How did you become a Health Coach, start Be Well with Arielle, get on the cover of the Integrative Nutrition Catalog and the Host of Glamour Magazine’s Cooking Show, “Treat Yourself”?
- Can you really make a career out of health coaching?
- How did you prepare to work with clients? Did you lean on any extra business coaching outside of your nutrition school, the Integrative Nutrition (IIN) course?
- How did you find your first clients?
- What can I do when I graduate?
- Can you go to this nutrition school while you’re working?
- Should I enroll. How do I know if it’s right for me?
My answers are:
- I was able to get to where I am today with a mix of inspiration. Here’s how I started:
1) For years, I was interested in furthering my education in nutrition. I loved to cook and I LOVED to help people. But I didn’t have the experience or professional knowledge. I ended up signing up for nutrition school and I never looked back. This school gave me the education to help myself and others and the confidence and knowledge to start a business.
2) My mentor, Gabrielle Bernstein at the time, also helped me focus. After graduating, I didn’t know what exactly I wanted to do and how I wanted to help people, so for 90 days, I focused on building my business and within 90 days, I had a website and clients. I really believe that a mix of focus, clarity and determination + education/knowledge + belief in yourself/confidence creates success. What you put in, you get out.
3) It felt so good to follow my passion – I cooked a lot of healthy food for myself and would invite friends and family over to enjoy it all.
- Yes! If you want to launch your own business, you can! The nutrition school is an online program that will give you the tools to start your own business. You can do it at your pace. But, remember, it’s really about self-motivation and determination so I recommend signing up when you’re really ready to grow!
- I have gotten a lot of support through the years to launch Be Well with Arielle, but no, I did not lean on any extra professional business coaching programs to actually launch my business.
- Clients will be attracted to your work when you share helpful information. Because I was doing what I loved, earned the information necessary to support people, and experienced/witnessed major shifts in myself and other people, I felt confident about the information I was sharing. Check out my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for some inspiration.
- There are SO many different options of what to do when you go to nutrition and graduate. Some of the people that I’ve referred have started food companies, written books and have launched really successful companies. Nancy Easton incorporated it into Wellness in the Schools organization, Patricia Moreno wrote a book and incorporates nutrition in to her teachings, others do one-on-one coaching, some people work at Doctor’s offices and others are well-known published authors and health experts. And some people do it just to feel better themselves. If you’re interested in creating a business, but don’t know yet what you want to do with the education, I believe: just start, and you will figure it out!
- I loved school and the people that I know who have gone, have loved it too but like everything, this nutrition school is not for everyone. Watch more about the school here.
