Our graduates do amazing things in their wellness practice.
Meet the people who changed their lives by becoming an IAWP Certified Holistic Wellness Coach
I am a holistic practitioner...
I had over 14 years of experience in the wellness field yet I had no idea how to market myself, coach my clients, or make a living following my passion.
That all changed when I became a student at the IAWP.
I am very happy to now be able to say I am an IAWP Certified Wellness Coach, my business has taken off and I’ve created more balance and confidence in all areas of my life, plus I recently had my first $10,000 month!
This has been so exciting for me! One of the reasons I went into this field was to be able to stay at home with my kids while following my passion, working from home. I now run my coaching practice from home, working with clients virtually.
During my training I took on paying clients, created a program to support moms and launched my coaching practice called Redesigning Motherhood. And I just had a $10,000 month!
I was a school teacher...
I was in corporate...
Through my training at the IAWP, I found the missing answers to aligning my purpose with the rest of my life.
Best of all, finding my purpose has meant being able to create a career I love and live life on my own terms. I don’t have to climb a corporate ladder or do something that doesn’t feel right to me. I get to decide. Today I can proudly say I’ve found my purpose - Wellness, coaching and empowering women.
This is a dream come true. I CANNOT believe just 6 months ago I was feeling so purposeless and down and out and now I'm taking on PAYING clients! I KNOW if I can do this, anyone can.
When I was let go from my corporate job, I had no doubt that this was my opportunity to finally be able to contribute something meaningful to the world. When I found the IAWP, I enrolled within 2 weeks of getting laid off.
I learned that wellness coaching is a real thing that people get paid for and it can be a lucrative career with the proper support, commitment, and business tools.
I also found a new community of like-minded people who want to make a real difference in their corner of the world using the power of wellness and coaching. If I can do it, anyone can do it. You have the power within you.
In 2019, I was let go from my lucrative corporate job. The last year at work I felt out of alignment with the organization, so when it happened, I knew that there was something bigger at play. I had no doubt that this was my opportunity to finally be able to contribute something meaningful to the world. But there was one giant problem. I didn’t know what it was.
One of my former colleagues embarked on a similar journey a few years prior and she informed me of a growing field of coaches who get paid to do exactly the kind of work I had been yearning to do. She introduced me to IAWP and I enrolled within 2 weeks of getting laid off. Then I packed my bags and traveled for 6 months all over Latin America and Europe. This was not the practical, logical thing to do, but it was liberating, thrilling and filled me with an energy I hadn’t felt in years. I felt alive. I committed to myself that I would complete the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification while I was traveling. And I did.
It was during this shift from corporate 9-5 employee to wellness entrepreneur, that my connection to myself became stronger and I learned in my own way how to listen to the small, still voice within. As I kept working on myself and going within, some amazing things happened. My dream career came to life.
I learned that wellness coaching is a real thing that people get paid for and it can be a lucrative career with the proper support, commitment, and business tools. I also gained new skills that I would carry with me in my new career. I learned the “How” of being a Wellness Coach - How to coach, How to set up a coaching business, How to market myself, How to structure coaching sessions and so much more. I also learned how to create confidence from within rather than relying on external sources of validation. I got better at cultivating happiness rather than looking for it elsewhere. I felt a deeper sense of connection. My sense of purpose grew, as did my capacity to experience joy.
Through this entire journey, I also found a new community of like-minded people who want to make a real difference in their corner of the world using the power of wellness and coaching. It felt like that moment in Harry Potter where he arrives at Hogwarts for the first time and suddenly he realizes there’s an entire population of people who share his values and passion. The IAWP was like Hogwarts for me.
Today, I guide clients to living more empowered and fulfilling lives by showing them how they can optimize their mindset in a way that serves them. If I can do it, anyone can do it. You have the power within you.
I was in corporate
I was a cosmetologist...
I was a cosmetologist of 22 years. It was a great career but it wasn't fulfilling anymore. I was also on my own wellness journey and the more I discovered and shared with people, I realized they were really struggling.
When I came across the IAWP, I was hooked. It all clicked for me that this is what I was looking for. My biggest transformation is building the confidence in myself I needed and the skills to effectively coach others.
I was an anxious law school student. I worried about everything and my stomach was in knots all of the time. When I became a law school professor, I constantly had students coming to me who reminded me of myself. I could no longer ignore all of those other issues. A lightbulb went on one day and I knew I wanted to become a Wellness Coach.
The IAWP has exceeded my expectations and more! The quality of the program and the depth of the teaching is what has really impressed me. There are a lot of programs out there, but there are not a lot of programs where you feel the leaders are truly invested in your success and you're getting the most out of the program...and that's what IAWP does so well.
I am a law professor. . .
I was a wealth manager...
I was in wealth management for over 10 years. And I loved it...until I didn't anymore. Until there was this feeling inside of me that there was more for me.
I hit a point where I got burned out. And I started getting symptoms in my body. When I came across the IAWP, I got a reset.
I'm so happy the universe led me on this path! I love my life right now, it's amazing!
I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 30 years and I’ve always had an interest in helping people improve their lives. But I felt I needed a certification to go along with my experience that would really teach me how to coach people.
I look back over all of the years of helping people and if I had known the CORE Coaching Method back then, I could have had more of an impact on people. The IAWP has helped me see what I was missing in terms of really helping people. People feel like I am listening now.
I'm a exercise physiologist...
The IAWP has helped me to break out of my shell, put myself out there and gain confidence.
Being a student has helped me on a personal level from the wellness education and becoming an effective coach. I became a healthier individual and have gained the confidence to coach clients effectively by following a proven system.
The IAWP has helped me to break out of my shell, put myself out there, and be confident that being a wellness coach is my purpose..
Prior to enrolling in the IAWP, I was working full-time in the financial services industry and was an on-call group fitness instructor for a health club.
I knew the IAWP Wellness Coach certification program was right for me the second I watched the informational video. I felt Suzanne Monroe speaking directly to me when she outlined what the program consisted of and touched upon the endless career opportunities that can come about from following my passion.
Being a student at the IAWP has helped me on a personal level from the wellness education taught in the curriculum, as well as on my effectiveness as a coach from the coaching and business pillars. During my studies, I become a healthier individual and have gained the confidence to put myself out there and coach clients effectively by following the proven system.
What has been life-changing for me has been my personal transformation into becoming a healthier individual. I am now the healthiest I have been in my entire life and have a much better understanding of how to go about overcoming challenges I may face. I also greatly value the support received from this organization, which is motivating for me as I continue in my journey to being a wellness coach.
The price I paid for the support and value I received from the program is second to none compared to other wellness coach certification programs out there. With the IAWP's ongoing support, we can not be unsuccessful. The IAWP sets you up for success.
I never felt like I had the time or resources to really get to the root of the problem with my patients. I was at a crossroads in my career and I knew I needed to change.
When I found the IAWP and saw their Wellness 360 model, I got goosebumps.
I have since left my full-time nursing position and launched my wellness coaching business.
I was a Registered Nurse...
When I found the IAWP, everything started to change. I have learned more from the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification program than I could have ever imagined.
What I love about the IAWP is that everything they teach you works. I've followed the exact systems they provide and immediately signed up my first client!
The IAWP training has transformed my business and given me the tools I need to be confident, professional and successful.
Before I found the IAWP, I was a sales rep for an organic whole food supplement company for 10 years. After leaving that job, I decided to follow my dream and become a health and wellness coach. I got certified through another program and after it was over, began working feverishly to figure out how to get my business going.
While I had gained the wellness knowledge and knew that I could help people, I was struggling to get clients and get my business off the ground and running. I had no idea that I even needed business training! I was missing the pieces I needed to actually turn my passion into a career and be a successful coach. Worse yet, I wasn’t able to help people with my education.
When I found the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification program, everything started to change. I have learned more from the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification program than I could have ever imagined. I’m now getting the full training I really need to be successful in this field and am learning so much about wellness, coaching and business.
What I love about the IAWP is that everything they teach you works. I’ve followed the exact systems they provide and immediately signed up my first client ! It’s true, you really can “get clients fast” if you follow the program.
The IAWP training has transformed my business and given me the tools I need to be confident, professional and successful. I am so excited I can now help people get to the root of their health issues and watch them transform into being healthier, happier and more fulfilled!
Being in the IAWP Community has been amazing - to be with like-minded people who are so passionate, supportive and inspiring. My biggest successes are launching my website and wellness blog, sharing my story, working with clients both online and locally and leaving my teaching job to go full time with wellness coaching!

Having worked as a health financing consultant, I saw how the trajectory of lifestyle illnesses has continued to grow over the years. I knew there was another way.
When I found the IAWP, it was a perfect fit because of their holistic approach that goes beyond just food and nutrition.

Doors are opening for me now. I'm becoming the go-to for wellness at work, I've done several workshops, and I've signed up 25 clients so far.
It’s ongoing, you’re part of a community...I can’t say enough good things about the IAWP. I’m living on cloud nine…
I'm in workplace wellness...
I was a travel director...
The training has been life transforming. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for the IAWP Wellness Coach Certification.
There's been a dual impact as I've learned to transform others, I've transformed my own life.
Before becoming a Wellness Coach, I was so used to just telling people what to do and they never did it.
Now, it is amazing to experience my clients being excited about their changes. Coaching does more than I could have imagined.

I'm able to stay at home with my kids...
I have been able to work with over 20 clients before graduating and have recently just sold two of my largest coaching programs!
All of these doors have opened up for me to share my message of healing with the world and I keep getting confirmation that I am undoubtedly on the right path.
I've been a yoga teacher for over 10 years. At the IAWP, I learned how to incorporate wellness coaching with my yoga business and go to the next level in sharing wellness with so many more people because of the tools I gained here.
The IAWP Wellness Coach Certification gave me the confidence to attract clients and the tools to get over my fears.

The IAWP community and training has allowed me to take better control of my own life path.
The feedback I've received from my clients in such a short amount of time has been life changing. They've shared how my gifts and talents are changing their lives and that feedback is changing mine.
I had a 13-year successful career as an RN. I began exploring natural health alternatives for my own illness of depression and found hope and success in learning to manage my symptoms without medication.
Since joining the IAWP, my life my life has been consistently aligned with the training. It has opened doors to new opportunities and created the foundation I was seeking.

I was an RN...
I was a Registered Nurse...
Even though I have the background as a Nurse, I learned so much about holistic wellness and how to help individuals.
I’m so completely grateful for the IAWP because they have allowed me to transition into a coaching role so that I can help individuals one-on-one understand what’s going on with their mind, their bodies, their soul and spirit and really get them to a complete 360 degree of health and wellness.
I am a psychologist and certified life, business and education coach. Although I was already an experienced coach, I never had any business training.
The IAWP helped me to hone my coaching skills, determine who I wanted to really help and launch my online practice.
I've been able to plan for my retirement and for the first time in my life, I feel totally in charge of my destiny.
I am a life coach...
I was a corporate exec...
I was a corporate executive working 60-70 hours per week doing 12 shots of espresso per day to keep up. I only slept about 4 hours per night.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. I knew I needed a solution.
As I started healing with Wellness 360, I wanted to share this with everyone else I knew.
I was a 5th grade teacher who loved my students but was miserable. I felt trapped and I knew it was time to look for something different.
When I found the IAWP, I felt like I was home.
I'm now working in my sweet spot and I feel that joy coming out as I coach clients, lead workshops and earn an income doing something I really love.

I can't stop smiling. This is what I'm meant to do and I could not have done it without the IAWP.
I was a teacher...
I was a therapist...
Being a mental health therapist, I have always had a strong desire to help others. But I felt there was a missing piece and a disconnect between physical and mental health.
Joining the IAWP was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I'm now impacting thousands of people's lives through my workshops, coaching programs and online videos.
Before the IAWP, I worked in a corporate environment. I developed chronic stress, fatigue, insomnia and more. The breakdown in my health made me realize I didn’t want to climb the corporate ladder anymore, it wasn’t fulfilling and I wanted to do something more.
I am so happy and so grateful! I feel so different. I’m not the same person I was when I enrolled. I feel so much more connected to myself and I know myself. Here I am today, who knew that my life would take this turn?! I reclaimed my health and recreated my career.
I was in corporate...
I'm a millenial...
I had put a lot of pressure on myself from a young age to do well and look a certain way. I developed a lot of self-hate and battled with bulimia for years. When I looked for help, the only answers were focused on nutrition and exercise.
So I went on my own healing journey. Discovering the IAWP and the holistic Wellness 360 approach is what helped me and now I'm helping young women who are experiencing what I did.
I'm only 26 but I feel so lucky to be in this position!
I had been a massage therapist for 15 years and had been helping my clients with their health and wellness for some time and was ready to take the next step to help them make real, lasting change.
I have a whole new lease on life!

I'm a massage therapist...
I was a new coach...
I joined the IAWP after graduating from another coach certification program. I realized I didn't have the coaching or business skills I needed to create the kind of coaching practice I wanted to have.
So many things have happened since finding the IAWP. I have a new level of confidence. And I'm getting ready to start with my 50th client and getting paid to do what I love!
To be honest, I thought I knew it all when I joined the program.I was the person people asked for advice and came to with their problems.
But the truth was, I didn't know how to create transformations for them.
The IAWP showed me how to become not only a great coach, but a better person.
I was a massage therapist...
I was in traditional healthcare...
Being a student at the IAWP has motivated me and inspired me to take more positive action steps in my life. As a busy mom of two small children, I was lacking awareness, focus, self-care and boundaries. All that has changed.

As I searched for programs to learn more about wellness, I came upon many health coach programs. But I was looking for a program that specifically focused on wellness because wellness encompasses so much more than health.
And that is why the IAWP was the perfect fit for me. The IAWP’s Wellness 360 philosophy correlates with my value of wellness and how it should be perceived.
I am a Registered Nurse and work as a case manager for people who have chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.I decided to become a wellness coach to broaden my knowledge of wellness from a holistic view, so that I could really make an impact and coach the people who struggle with managing their chronic conditions.

Even though I am a nurse I have learned so much more about nutrition and body types and which foods are most appropriate for each body type. During my training I was able to lose 7 lbs by following the Wellness 360 system.
I also launched my business Savi Butterfly Wellness where I am focused on helping people over 40 who struggle with managing high blood pressure and weight.

I was a special ed teacher
I have multiple sclerosis. In 2017, I had no energy to do anything. I was just merely existing. My doctors couldn’t help me and finally I decided to take action to take back control of my health naturally. I found the IAWP and signed up immediately, without hesitation.
During my time as a student with the IAWP I learned how to re-balance and re-align every area of my life. I got my health and my life back.
I've had breakthroughs in my own health and my clients are now experiencing the same thing. Since graduating, I have a thriving coaching business. The skills I learned through IAWP have set me up for extreme success!
I have multiple sclerosis and in November 2017 I was hit with an instant onset of chronic fatigue and over a short time found I was sleeping up to 20 hours a day. I had no energy to do anything, brain fog, lack of concentration, couldn’t focus and I was just merely existing. My doctors couldn’t help me and after a year and a half of living like this I decided to take action to take back control of my health naturally. I found the IAWP and signed up immediately, without hesitation.
During my time as a student with the IAWP I learned about all the areas of my life and how each of them are interconnected with each other. When 1 or more are out of balance it affects other areas. Once I learned how to re-balance and re-align each area, I soon started noticing that I have more energy, feeling better overall and knew I was going to be well again. The support I received from the IAWP and the community – is simply priceless. It has been a life-changing experience.
I got my health and life back. I've had breakthroughs in my own health and my clients are experiencing the same thing. I am now mentoring other women with MS who suffer from low energy levels how to improve their lives as well.
Since graduating I've established myself as The MS Wellness Coach across social media & have a thriving coaching business. The skills I learned through IAWP had set me up for extreme success!
I’m so very proud to say that after implementing all that learned through the IAWP that I have successfully transformed from fatigued to fabulous and now I’m teaching other women with low energy levels how to do the same I did, to combat fatigue, increase energy levels, manage MS symptoms and improve overall health, naturally all over the world. My friends and family are surprised to see my before and now picture how much of a transformation I've made.
I've recently launched my 1st online course, group coaching & have refined my flagship program called Fatigue to Fabulous - 90 day transformation. I have been sought out by various podcasts , I write weekly newsletters to my email list and am constantly growing. I contribute to other online MS support groups, I am a mentor to newly diagnosed patients and am an MS Advocate helping them navigate life with MS.
Empowering those with MS to heal their bodies naturally through "out of the box" modalities and creating lifelong transformation is very rewarding and brings me so much joy! Thank you IAWP for teaching me how to heal my own body and now showing others how to do the same. I will forever be grateful to the IAWP for being there for me every step of the way.
