From our graduates

What coaches say about the program

Reflections from the first cohorts of PHD Certified Health Coaches — in their own words.

  • You really taught not just PHD but how to market, how to protect our business practices, effective coaching methodologies, and how to grow sustainable coaching practices. Our coaches are actively coaching and upholding extremely high standards for themselves and setting the tone that we can then emulate in our own practices.

    Becky Gosky

  • PHD Health Coach Academy equipped me to effectively coach clients who want to improve their health. The information and examples given during our classes, and the peer mock coaching sessions, gave me confidence that I can help others become a better version of themselves.

    Karen Burton

  • This program is top-notch, with cutting edge information and experienced leaders that will guide you to confidence in starting your own business. The group participation in live sessions and community engagement within the cohort was supportive, encouraging and helpful. You won’t regret making this commitment.

    Lynn Albin

  • The educational structure was thoughtfully designed and provided clear training in PHD, coaching techniques, and the practical aspects of working as a coach. As a participant from Norway, I found that attending the course remotely worked seamlessly.

    Heidemarie Nordahl

  • I found the PHD Health Coach Academy to be worth every penny — and then some. The instruction is thorough and complete, and extremely well arranged by very experienced professionals already in this industry.

    Bradford Tozier

  • No fluff, no overcomplication — just clear, honest coaching rooted in real physiology. You didn’t just teach what to say, you taught how to think as a coach. Because of this program, I now feel confident helping people cut through years of confusion and take real steps toward better health.

    Russell Harbaugh

  • This course goes beyond coaching techniques. You’ll learn the principles of the Proper Human Diet, how to translate them into meaningful client change, and how to build the systems and structures that support a thriving, sustainable coaching business.

    Angela

  • This was Proper Human Coaching, no doubt. I came in with missing pieces in my journey to becoming a health coach, and I left 100% more confident, with the blanks filled in. If you are looking to help people go on a health journey based on PHD, you are in the right place.

    Darin Berntson

  • This program offers a comprehensive foundation in all necessary aspects of health coaching — from proper human dietary theory, practical coaching skills, client intake and management, business structure, and approaches to package pricing and marketing. I graduated confident and fully prepared to hit the ground running.

    Frances Claire Ruiz

  • The PHD Academy has taught me the ‘A’ and ‘B’ of the art of health coaching. I’m extremely grateful for the profound knowledge and the professional approach this program delivers. I felt appropriately challenged, well-supported, and continuously encouraged to grow my competence and coaching skills.

    Nadia Hristova

  • I highly recommend PHD Academy. The lessons were thorough and the coaches were phenomenal in their specific field of experience. They made it easy to be ready to coach once I was certified.

    Karen Spencer
