Anna shared her program experience and the multiple benefits of pursuing a Health & Well-Being coach certification. Anna, now a Health Coach and Health Education Specialist at Live For Live, Employee Health & Wellness at Duke Health, feels she expanded her professional network, was supported unexpectedly by the program instructors, and saw how new professional opportunities opened up.
This program is exactly what I needed to support my clients more fully with their health and well-being.
As a mindfulness and movement instructor for over 25 years, I recognized the connection between mind/body awareness and behavior change. I wanted to help my clients maximize their motivation and further empower them as they developed a deeper connection to their health. This program is exactly what I needed to support my clients more fully with their health and well-being.
The Duke Health and Well-Being Program provided me with an excellent education but, most importantly, a lot of practice with one-on-one coaching. I worked through coaching challenges with coach training assistants whose mentorship was invaluable. I cannot recommend the Duke program enough! The curriculum was well organized and impactful, and the teaching staff was supportive in ways I would never expect from an online program. I also made many friendships through the program, and we keep in touch today!
This program prepared me to become a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, opening me to several professional positions, including my current Health Coach & Educator role at Duke University. I also continue my private practice and support my clients with mind/body instruction and health and well-being coaching.

The Duke Professional Health and Well-Being Program was just that! It was professional, well-organized, and fully prepared me for a health and wellness coaching career. I became fluent in a well-researched, well-respected coaching process and developed a deep awareness of myself and my coaching style. The business portion of the program helped me set up practice and articulate my offering in a somewhat crowded health coaching landscape. This program empowered my launch into the health coaching world by helping me feel knowledgeable, confident, and aligned with Duke Program’s integrity and recognition.
