What is a health coach?
A health coach is a coach who helps people improve their health and wellness. Clients seek out health coaches for specific goals, such as losing weight, learning how to cook healthy meals, managing their stress, balancing their hormones, etc.
As a health coach, you can work for a variety of companies or start your own business.
We’re going to talk about both of these career paths, but first, let’s talk about the earning potential of a health coach.
How much do health coaches make?
According to Salary.com, health and wellness coaches make $63,493 on average.
Glassdoor says that certified health coaches have an average salary of $77,683, with a total range of around $61k – $100k.
So, how much can you make as a health coach? It’s really all up to you. It depends on what type of health coach you are, your experience, and your credentials.
If you work for a company, you’ll probably make less than if you ran your own successful health coaching business.
As an employee, your salary will always have a limit because someone else is deciding how much you will earn.
When you have your own business and you’re the boss, your salary is entirely up to you.
So, as a business owner, you can eventually earn six or even seven figures.
It will all depend on how successfully you’re able to market your services. This is one reason I highly recommend enrolling in the Business Breakthrough Program which teaches you exactly how to market and build a successful health coaching business.
Picking a very specific niche makes it much easier to market your business. I have a Nail Your Niche Masterclass that teaches you how to pick your niche and speak to your ideal client. Check it out if you need additional help with your niche!
Another factor that will affect how much you make is how you price your services. That’s a topic we cover inside the Business Breakthrough Program.
Is there a demand for health coaches?
Yes! Coaching is a $2.85 billion industry – and it’s growing fast.
The health and wellness industry is even more lucrative. It’s estimated to be a $4.2 trillion market. In other words? This is one of the best industries to start a business in because there’s a lot of earning potential.
In 2021, the global health coach market size was an estimated $14.5 billion, and it’s projected to hit nearly $26 billion by 2030, growing at 6.7% a year.
One survey found that 60% of Americans want a health coach but 80% of them have never been offered the service, indicating that this is a career that could potentially help a lot of people.
How can you start a health coaching business?
To become a health coach, you will need to get some type of certification.
I am an Institute of Integrative Nutrition Alumni and fully believe in the program.
Do your own research and decide what program is the best fit for you and your goals. I liked that I could get my health coaching certification online, while I was working my full-time corporate job. It made for a very seamless transition when I was ready to launch my business!
Your turn!
There you have it! Now you know what the typical health coach’s salary is.
