The health coaching industry continues to experience unprecedented growth. More people than ever are seeking access to personalized, compassionate and evidence-based support to improve their health & wellbeing. That’s exactly what REAL health coaching delivers, and what we’ve been up to since day one here at YourCoach.
Born from a deeply personal experience with health coaching, we started off as a practice management platform designed to support health coaches in doing what they do best. Today, we’ve evolved into an end-to-end solution for delivering best-in-class health coaching to those who need it most, serving health systems, digital health companies, employers, and care teams.
Where we started:
One of the things we’re most proud of is that we’re actually founded by a health coach. Our CEO, Marina, discovered health coaching on her breast cancer journey and was struck by the role health coaching played in her healing after the treatment and building her resilience. We’ve always believed in the power of REAL health coaching and have made it our mission to make it more accessible to the global population.
When we first started out, we serviced health coaches as a practice management platform. Our focus was simple yet powerful: give coaches all the tools they need, all in one place, so they can focus on what they do best – health coaching! We’ve always been HIPAA-compliant and have always provided a user experience that reflects our deep understanding of the health coaching profession.
Though we’ve evolved beyond a practice management platform, we take pride in serving 4,000+ health coaching using our platform today. It’s reliable. It’s intuitive. And it rewards coaches by lowering the cost of the platform the more they practice and making them eligible for health coaching opportunities through our partnerships.
Where we are now:
Today, our platform powers white-label health coaching solutions for a wide range of organizations. From health systems and patient support programs to digital health companies and direct-to-consumer wellness apps, we serve as the engine behind some of the most prominent, embedded health coaching solutions in the industry today. Not only that, but we also work directly with employers to make best-in-class health coaching available to their employees. We’ve also expanded to work with Dr. offices directly, offering coaching that bridges the gap between office visits, improving medication adherence, and promoting better health outcomes.
Through these partnerships, and backed by our own data, we continue to demonstrate that REAL health coaching is a powerful catalyst for living healthier and happier lives. Our recently released Observational Outcomes Study revealed compelling results, including a significant decrease in stress among participants (17.9% decrease in their GAD-7 scores), an increase in self-efficacy (by 9.6%) and an improvement in their emotional sentiment scores (64.8%) after just 2 coaching sessions!
This data continues to fuel our mission, which has remained unchanged since our inception: make health coaching more accessible to those who need it most. With 4,000+ validated health coaches across 16 categories and hundreds of niche specialties, we’ve been able to expand this access exponentially year after year.
Where we’re headed:
Each year, we continue to grow our ongoing partnerships and with that, the number of lives impacted by REAL health coaching we deliver. As we look ahead, we remain committed to ensuring health coaching becomes a fundamental part of the ways we’re able to achieve more optimal health & wellbeing. Not only are we always looking to expand our partnerships, while scaling our existing ones, but we’re also always looking for opportunities to give back. We recently announced a free pilot program for individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
We’re proud of the strong, mission-driven foundation we’ve built here at YourCoach. It’s one that’s always been rooted in integrity, trusted partnerships and unwavering support for REAL health coaching. From day one we’ve been committed to delivering best-in-class health coaching and expanding access in meaningful and measurable ways. We’re not just keeping up with rising demand, we’re shaping the future of what health coaching looks like.
