A Letter from The Course Director
“Welcome to the MUUD Academy NBHWC-Approved Health & Wellness Coach Certification Program.
Great coaches don't change lives. They help people discover how to change their own.
Over the next four months, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to become an effective Health & Wellness Coach and prepare for NBHWC board certification through evidence-based learning, coaching practice, feedback, and real-world application.
At MUUD Academy, we believe exceptional coaches are developed through practice. Throughout this program, you will move beyond learning about coaching and begin becoming a coach - through observation, practice, feedback, reflection, and real coaching conversations.
Most importantly, you will learn that lasting change does not come from giving advice. It comes from creating trusted partnerships that empower people to discover their own strengths and capacity for growth.
I believe this journey will positively transform both your life and the lives of those you will support. Congratulations on choosing this path. We look forward to supporting your growth and celebrating your success along the way.”

Weekly commitment depends on the cohort schedule and pacing (live sessions, asynchronous instruction, and practice). Once you apply, we send the cohort syllabus with the exact weekly cadence, required live sessions, and practice requirements.

Supervised practice includes observed practice sessions and structured feedback using a standardized rubric. Learners complete practice sessions and receive guided feedback to build skills and readiness for real-world coaching.
-
This may not be the best fit if you cannot commit to live sessions and practice, if you want a fully self-paced program with no live components, if you are looking for therapy training or clinical supervision, or if you need immediate certification results. If you are unsure, apply and we will help you choose the right path.
