What does it really take to build a thriving health coaching business?
It’s not complicated—it comes down to 3 key ingredients:

✨ Confidence in your process + the results you help clients achieve
✨ A genuine passion + connection to your work
✨ Clear communication (and eventually letting client wins do the talking)

My client Lewis is proof. 👏
He went from physician assistant to health coach after watching his wife reverse diabetes through lifestyle changes.

Fast forward 2 years…
🔥 His clients are seeing blood sugar + A1C improvements in DAYS
🔥 He’s launched a group program + membership
🔥 His YouTube channel is growing so fast, he even gets recognized in public

For the men out there—this is your sign: we need more male health coaches! 💪

I sat down with Lewis to talk about how he built his business, his biggest lessons, and what’s next.

Stand Out as a Health Coach (Without Being the Loudest!) 🌱✨

Ever feel lost in a sea of coaches on Instagram—wondering how you’ll ever get noticed without shouting to be heard? You’re not alone! The truth is, building a standout health coaching brand isn’t about being the loudest in the room. It’s about being the most authentic.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how you can:

Lean into what makes you unique (no “look at me” tactics required)
-Connect with your dream clients in real, genuine ways
-Build trust through consistency (not just volume)
-Grow your coaching business as an introvert (yes, it’s possible!)

If you’re a health coach or practitioner who cringes at the idea of self-promotion, this is your roadmap to building a business that feels right and attracts clients who truly get you.

We coaches tend to be ambitious, growth-oriented, and maybe even a little perfectionistic.

Which sounds great… until it starts working against us.

Instead of creating freedom, it can leave us:

• Overworking in our business
• Never feeling “enough”
• Struggling to enjoy the life we’re building

I just had this exact conversation with a fellow coach turning 40, and it hit home:
How do you balance being healthy, making an impact, and actually enjoying your life?

That’s what I unpack in this week’s podcast.

For so many coaches, finding the “right” marketing strategy becomes a never-ending quest.

They hop from one guru to the next—following every formula—only to end up feeling inauthentic, burnt out, and frustrated with the results.

And the worst part?
They start thinking, “What’s wrong with me? Why did it work for them but not for me?”

Here’s the truth: it’s not you.
The problem is you’re following someone else’s roadmap for their business—not yours.

Your business is unique.
Your way of connecting, serving, and creating impact is unique.

And that’s why following your intuition isn’t just a nice idea—it’s essential for building a business that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and truly yours.

When you do, something shifts:
✨ The right opportunities show up
✨ Referrals and partnerships appear
✨ You find your flow—and business feels lighter

This episode will show you exactly how to create a marketing plan that honors your intuition and gets results.

You’re ready(ish) to start coaching…
But where are those paying clients everyone keeps talking about?

Maybe you’ve been posting on social media—sharing tips, telling your story, showing up.
But instead of signing new clients, you’re met with crickets… or just your supportive friends liking your posts.

Here’s the truth:
Most successful new coaches don’t attract their first clients from cold audiences online.
They start by tapping into something much more powerful: their existing network.

This one simple strategy has helped many of my clients fill their coaching spots—without sliding into DMs, running ads, or posting 24/7.

👉 In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to do it.

If you’re just getting started and want a clear, non-icky path to booking your first clients…
