When we founded the Certified Health Coach Institute, our heart was to train women and men to be CHCs who integrate Biblical principles into whole-person wellness (spirit, soul, and body).
Since 2014, we've been doing exactly that. At the same time, we've been saving Christians called to health coaching thousands of dollars with a CHC program easily 1/10th to 1/20th the investment of other programs out there (ones that are sadly "New Agey" and lack a solid scriptural foundation).
Let's explore the leadership, service, and financial benefits of becoming a Certified Health Coach (CHC)—backed by recent global statistics that highlight the urgent need, proven effectiveness, and profitability of this rewarding path. With people everywhere seeking faith-centered guidance for better health, there's no better time to become a CHC and share what you have to offer!
The Growing Need: Why the World Needs CHCs Now More Than Ever
The demand for health coaches is surging worldwide, driven by rising awareness of preventive wellness and chronic disease management.
In 2025, the global health and wellness coaching market is valued at approximately $20.07 billion, with an expected annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% through 2030.
Projections show the market reaching $30.65 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate that underscores the increasing reliance on coaches for personalized support.
In the U.S. alone, the market is estimated at $7.6 billion in 2025, with job growth for health coaches projected at 7% through 2033—faster than average for many professions.
This boom is fueled by over 167,300 projected coaches by 2025, as individuals and organizations seek experts to address stress, nutrition, and spiritual well-being in a post-pandemic world.
As a CHC with a Biblical worldview, you'll meet this need by offering Christ-centered coaching that goes beyond secular approaches, helping clients thrive in spirit, soul, and body.
Scientific Evidence: Proven Effectiveness of Health Coaching
Health coaching isn't just popular—it's backed by robust scientific evidence demonstrating its impact on long-term behavior change and health outcomes. Studies show that health coaching significantly improves quality of life, self-efficacy, and reduces depression for those with chronic conditions, with benefits like increased exercise delaying disease progression.
A systematic review from the VA Health Systems Research highlights positive effects on clinical, behavioral, and self-efficacy outcomes among adults with chronic illnesses.
Over 100 studies confirm that coaching modifies behaviors, lowers risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol, and even sustains improvements over time, as seen in Mayo Clinic research.
For caregivers of heart failure patients, virtual health coaching has been shown to enhance self-care and reduce stress.
Our program, rooted in Scripture, amplifies these benefits by incorporating faith as a cornerstone of lasting change—empowering you to deliver evidence-based results with eternal significance.
