You don't need more health and nutrition information as a health coach.

You need clarity.

For years I thought more courses = more confidence.

I was wrong.

Confidence came when I got feedback that gave me clarity on what to actually DO in sessions.

The 5 pieces of feedback that changed everything for me are in this week's YouTube video.

For my first two years as a health coach, I was doing it all wrong.

Spending hours on recap emails. Buying gifts for clients. Working completely out of scope.

I thought I was a bad coach 👎🏻

Turns out, I just didn't know HOW to coach 😕

Once I learned what was actually missing, everything shifted 👍🏻

The NBHWC exam just got a major update for 2026. In my latest video, I break down exactly what changed and what it means for you.

Here's what you'll learn:

- what changed in the 2026 NBHWC exam content outline
- how the competencies were reorganized into five content areas
- what’s truly new vs what still counts from your existing study materials
- what resources can help you prepare to sit for the exam

Plus I share an update on Q-Review 2.0, the exam prep course I recommend and how it’s been fully updated to reflect the new exam structure.

If you’re a newer health coach and confidence still feels a bit wobbly, you’re not doing anything wrong.

In my latest YouTube video, I talk about the real confidence gap most new coaches face and how to close it going into 2026.

I walk you through:

- Where confidence actually comes from
- Simple ways to practice your skills
- Five powerful questions to pinpoint your biggest confidence gap and set a focussed plan for 2026.

Confidence is when you feel steady in sessions, clear in your process and grounded when talking about your work.

💬 “I used to spend hours preparing for sessions out of fear… and I’d leave drained, second-guessing myself.”

That’s what Jana Osta, a coach and hypnotherapist, told me when we sat down to talk about her early days as a new coach.
What changed everything?

👉 Learning the behavioral change approach inside my Health Coaching Essentials course.

She went from stressed and stuck… to confident, calm, and able to prep in just 5 minutes all because she stopped trying to be the expert with all the answers.

👉🏻 Watch Jana’s story here https://youtu.be/ZgbLWAoHJb0

🚫 Coaching isn’t about teaching or telling.

I know it’s tempting to want to share everything you’ve learned with clients but most already know what they “should” do.

The real struggle? Actually doing it.

That’s where behavioral change coaching comes in.

✔️ Instead of being the expert with all the answers, you’re the guide.
✔️ Instead of leaving clients informed, you leave them empowered.
When you shift from teaching to coaching, everything changes:
✨ Less burnout
✨ More buy-in
✨ Clients who actually stick with the changes

If you’re tired of carrying the weight of your clients’ success, it might be time to try a different approach.

💡 I teach this process inside my Health Coaching Essentials Course & Skills Lab and the early access list opens September 18!

✨ Only 12 spots available
✨ Waitlist members get first access + a deep discount + a special bonus.

Hey there health coach, are you feeling stuck, not confident with clients, or drained because sessions aren’t landing?

You’re not alone.

And, it's exactly why I created Health Coaching Essentials, so you can coach any client, on any challenge, with clarity and confidence.

I only run this course twice per year and this Fall I'm opening up just 10 spots.

✨ Early access to the 10 spots opens Sept 18 with $500 off, plus a brand-new bonus.

Want in? Join the no-obligation early access list here https://www.gethealthcoachskills.com/waitlist-hce-fall-2025/

Check out what Victoria had to say after the course last Spring,

"I joined Michelle’s Health Coaching Essentials because I was struggling to guide clients past roadblocks. Her simple, client-centered framework, honed through the weekly Skills Labs, taught me to trust that every client holds their own answers. Now my sessions are focused and powerful and clients leave with real clarity, confidence and self-efficacy. Thanks to Michelle, I coach with purpose and see transformations every week."

My Story

Hey there, I'm Michelle MacLean certified health and wellness coach and health coach skills mentor.

As a Coaching Circle Coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I've worked with close to 1000 students. Many of them are worried about how to provide value and say they lack confidence in their coaching skills.

I felt like that too when I started my practice almost 10 years go. But once I shifted into the coaching mindset, my coaching practice started to grow.

Over the last nine years I've worked with hundreds of clients online and 1:1 and I know how transformational the coaching process can be.
