Hello!! So I've been talking with people and doing a lot of research, or as much as I can find on the topic. But I'm reaching out to all the health coaches out there please. I'm wondering how much of a market there is for RN health coaches and if you could tell me just little about how you got started getting clients. And any advice would be appreciated 😊

I don't know any RN health coaches, but health coaching is a skill that nurses can use in many different settings; acute care, rehab, outpatients and home care etc. Nurses wouldn't need to find a niche market in order to use the skills gained from a certificate in health coaching, they could incorporate them into their nursing practice.

Is it possible to practice as an "RN Health Coach" (by definition utilizing your nursing license) independently? I can see being able to advertise yourself as a Health Coach (no license involved), but wonder about involving your license as an independent practitioner. Obviously, now that I think about it, no diagnoses/medication would be involved, but still, I wonder about the advisability of using your nursing designation.

I may be way off base - wouldn't be the first time :yes:
