The NCCHWC is in a time of deep collaboration with health and wellness coach training programs that are working diligently towards creating a national standard which will help further professionalize and advance the field of health and wellness coaching.”

NOOMiversity, Noom Inc.’s health and wellness coaching program, is an evidence-based program that combines instructional lessons and hands-on experience to allow students to understand and learn to apply essential coaching and behavior change techniques in real-world situations.

Our evidence based program is the foundational training all our internal coaches receive. We are thrilled to provide the highest quality training to enterprise clients with their own coaching resources as well as outside professionals looking to facilitate sustained behavior change .  We are honored to be among the NCCHWC’s approved programs. Our joint goal of creating national standards will not only benefit coaches and their clients but also enhance the professional credibility of the field of health and wellness coaching.”
