The Integrative Health Institute (IHI) at Salem University, in Salem, West Virginia, will host a free webinar from 6 to 7 p.m., on July 13, featuring their best-in-class Integrative Health Coaching Program. The presenters include Senior Advisor for IHI and former CEO of HeartMath, Bruce Cryer, and IHI Program Coordinator and Lead Faculty, Amy Dailey. Together, they will educate participants as to the value and potential of the program.

The Integrative Health Coaching Certificate is a program of 16 weeks designed to educate professionals who are interested in coaching others to optimal health and wellness. Students will develop the skills necessary to build the coaching relationship from start to finish with an emphasis on integrative health practices and principles.

IHI is geared to allied health professionals, traditional and alternative medicine practitioners, integrative and holistic health practitioners, nurses, fitness professionals, athletic coaches, whole person-centered wellness enthusiasts and professionals, diabetes prevention professionals, healthcare organizations, educators and more.

"This has been such a fantastic, eye-opening experience. I have learned so much about myself, about the health coaching profession, and how our everyday behaviors can influence our overall health and well-being,” says a nurse that recently attended the program.

While many health coaching programs run six to 12 months and can cost $5,000 to $10,000, the IHI program is four months long with tuition less than $3,500. 

The upcoming webinar is ideal for those who choose to upgrade themselves while helping others reach their goals for optimal health and vitality. Dailey sums up her intention for the health coaching program as, “Fueling wellness, sparking transformation; in my classroom, I cultivate visionaries, ready to redefine the landscape of health."

For those unable to attend the July webinar, another is scheduled from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 3.
