I am currently studying to be a Certified Health Coach and almost half way through my studies. I have reached the point where I need some practice clients to work with. This can be in person or virtually, so people don't have to live in the same area. If you are interested in participating and getting access to free health improvement information and strategies, please let me know. Message me directly to learn more. I guarantee this is a no cost opportunity as it benefits me in getting my certification. For virtual discussions, you will need access to Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger.
