Testimonials

Screen Shot 2023-06-12 at 9.29_edited.jpg

I studied Athletic Training in my undergraduate years, then went on to become a graduate assistant where I was able to use my athletic training skills as a Certified ATC while obtaining my Master’s Degree in Human Services: Health and Wellness. I chose Wellcoaches for my road to the NBHWC because I really wanted to be a part of the best of the best! I wanted a program that really cared for its student success, was life and health-changing for future clients, and used evidence-based practice and research while always being open to learning! I’m in Module 2 currently and so far, Wellcoaches has far exceeded my expectations!
