Testimonials
Dear Margaret,
I trained with Wellcoaches in the early 2000s and was part of the first cohort to sit for board certification. I've wanted to express my gratitude for all you have done to advance the field. You built a legitimate profession where none existed before. Thirty years into my work in women's health and behavior change, I'm still standing on the foundation you created. I also wanted you to know I submitted a comment to CMS in support of health coaching — it felt like the least I could do given everything you've pushed forward on reimbursement and recognition for this field. Thank you for the vision and the rigor of your work.
