Pillar Three: Business Training
Learn How Our Proven Business Model Will Help You Build a Purposeful and Profitable Practice
Our Business Breakthrough Training™, which includes our fast track system Coach Launch™, is the third pillar of the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification. This proven, field tested Health & Wellness Coach Business Model guides you step by step as you create success in your new practice. But let’s face it…
When you’re passionate about wellness and helping others, “business” may not be the first thing on your mind. We get that. That’s why we give you the systems you need so you can focus your time and energy on what you do best – supporting your Wellness Coaching clients.
Our Business Breakthrough Training™, like our other proven pillar methods, is unique and highly effective for several reasons. Let’s take a closer look….
What makes our Business Breakthrough Training™ + Coach Launch™ System so effective at helping Wellness Coaches to create success?
First, our Business Breakthrough Training™ + Coach Launch™ System are built on our real world experience
Most coach training programs don’t teach business or if they do, it simply includes some “basics” that the teachers themselves have never actually implemented on their own to build a coaching business.
Wouldn’t you rather learn how to run a Wellness Coaching business from someone who has actually done it? Good news, you can….
Coach Launch™ is compilation of over thirteen years of real holistic business experience and success developed by IAWP Founder Suzanne Monroe.
When Suzanne first got started as a Wellness Coach, she had little business training.
Like most Wellness Coaches, she wanted to spend her time helping people not thinking about marketing. But she quickly found out that she had to figure out how to run a business if she wanted to follow her passion and help as many people as possible.
Through tons of trial and error (not to mention time, energy and money), Suzanne developed her own Health & Wellness Coach Business Model.
This proven system allowed her to create a six figure wellness coaching practice.
She then went on to teach this method to thousands of holistic practitioners and coaches through the IAWP so that they could skip over struggle and get right to success.
Her goal: To ensure that as many people as possible would be able to experience the benefits of holistic health and wellness. She knew that could only happened if she taught her fellow peers how to follow in her footsteps.
As a Wellness Coach student at the IAWP, you’ll walk through our proven systems with handholding and support every step of the way. Plus you’ll learn from our expert Faculty, who are world-leading experts in wellness, coaching and business.
Second, Our Business Training is all about Personal Support
When you first consider becoming a wellness coach, it can feel overwhelming to consider how you will make the transition or what it will look like to actually be in business for yourself.
What we know is that every wellness coach who wants to create success needs personal support.
Unfortunately in today’s virtual world, personal support is lacking in online education.
The IAWP is different.
We’re committed to providing the most supportive program in the world. And here’s how we do it…
Unlimited Live Coaching Labs
You can jump on a live lab to experience personal support with whatever you are working on. Our students love our live, interactive calls where they can receive ongoing personal support.
Whether it’s asking a question, practicing something you’re learning in real-time or deepening your learning, our live support is frequent, personal and live.
Fact Check: Most coach training program say they offer personal support but be aware – it’s often masked as Facebook groups with simple peer support or large group calls where you can listen in and fingers crossed, get your question answered.
That won’t happen to you at the IAWP. We pride ourselves in our small group settings where we ensure that every student gets the live, interactive support they need. And, it’s unlimited for the life of your career.
24-7 Support
With the IAWP’s training, systems and support, you’re never alone as you embark on your new path.
Whether you decide to launch your own practice or work within an organization, you’ll have the tools and guidance you need at your fingertips.
There’s always a team member, staff or community member available to answer your questions and support you.
Community & Connection
Our community is like no other. It’s hard to explain just how powerful our holistic community of Wellness Coaches is until you experience it firsthand, but we can tell you it’s the best because that’s what we hear from our students everyday.
Be sure to check out our unsolicited Social Shout Outs page to get a glimpse inside our community and hear what our students are saying.
Lifetime Support
To add to our support mission, we decided to do something unprecedented and offer lifetime support.
That means that even after you graduate, you’ll stay a part of our community and enjoy continuing education and support.
We want to provide you with more than just an education and a few tools – we’re committed to providing you the systems and support you need to be a successful Wellness Coach for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Holistic Wellness Coaches are professionals who take an integrative approach to help people learn to make healthy lifestyle changes. They take into account more than just nutrition, fitness or simple habit changes, but all aspects of a person’s health and life in true holistic fashion.
IAWP Holistic Wellness Coaches are highly trained coaches, providing support and accountability for their clients so they can make lasting lifestyle changes.
Today there are many people calling themselves “Health Coaches”. They have varying educations and backgrounds, some with extensive training, others with no training at all. “Health Coaching” is a general term that does not tell people what area of health you help with or your specific approach. Many Health Coaches focus solely on nutrition, exercise and habit changes.
“Wellness Coach” is a more specific term. It denotes that more than just general health is being considered in the approach. Wellness signfies well-being and lifestyle aspects beyond food and exercise.
When evaluating various health and wellness coaching programs, it is important to understand the difference between becoming a generalist and a specialist. Whether a training program calls their graduates a “health coach” or a “wellness coach,” they often have a particular angle that they work from.
Holistic Wellness Coaching is a specialty term in which professionals will take a holistic approach to wellness, considering all aspects of a person’s well-being as well as the support provided involves holistic remedies, therapies, and a more natural approach to wellness.
While generalist coaches can be useful, you’re guaranteed greater success when you choose a specialist track like Holistic Wellness. You probably know that in the field of medicine a doctor who is a generalist is paid much less than a specialist. Generalists do not have the same level of training and the market allows for specialists to charge higher fees. This is also true for a Holistic Wellness Coaches.
The International Association of Wellness Professionals is recognized world wide and we have students participating from countries all over the world.

With a large international student population, you will form lasting friendships and peer support relationships with students from around the globe and in your local communities.

Don’t just take our word for it, check out what our students are saying!
The short answer is Yes! In fact, we are so confident you will get your first client by the time you graduate, that we guarantee your success. If you follow the steps in our program and fail to attract your first client by graduation, we will refund your tuition and you can keep your certification.
At the IAWP, our program is based on our Immersive Transformation Training Method™. This method ensures you are applying your knowledge during every stage of your training and this includes taking the right steps to attract your ideal clients.
Through our business training, you will follow our Coach Launch system, which is designed to take you step by step through a process that will guide you as you attract and sign up your first 10 clients, or your next 10 clients, again and again.
When you enroll in our Holistic Wellness Coach Certification program, you will receive Lifetime Access to our training, plus continued education and support for the life of your career. This is very unique in the online education industry and we are unaware of any other organization that provides this level of access and ongoing support.
This also means that you will be part of a community that is committed to supporting one another. Unlike other training programs where access to other students might be limited to your current class, at the IAWP you will have the opportunity to connect with former students and grads who are always excited to share their experiences and pay it forward. It’s truly a unique community like no other.
While you do not need continuing education credits to maintain your IAWP Holistic Wellness Coach Certification, our training is recognized and accredited by several organizations, like the International Coach Federation where our program allows you to earn Continuing Education Credits.
Our primary focus is on giving you the systems and support you need to build a thriving practice, helping others.
Our business training can be applied to building a practice in your local community or creating an online coaching business. Some students prefer to work locally, others go straight to online. The choice is yours and will largely depend on your preference.
Through our Coach Launch Fast Track system, you will learn how to set up your business and determine which career track best fits for you. You will also learn the ins and out of online marketing, social media, video conferencing and other virtual business tools. You’ll also personally experience virtual coaching and online workshops through your training.
Because launching an online practice requires some additional technical skills, we encourage our students to apply our systems in their local community first and then expand to online as they build proof of concept with their niche, their signature coaching program and our client attraction strategies.
