How Much Can You Charge As A Health Coach?

How much can you charge as a Health Coach? Maybe not what you thought…

Been pulling your hair out on what to charge as a Health Coach? There’s no one black-and-white answer on what to charge, so I’m not surprised if you are feeling confused.

When I first started out as a health coach I had no idea what to charge. I see this as one of the biggest stressors of the new Health Coaches I mentor today.

Most health coaching schools don’t teach how to price your packages.

The Institute For Integrative Nutrition Conference Highlights

Earlier this month I had the honour of being invited to speak at the Institute For Integrative Nutrition Conference here in Sydney. For those who couldn't make it live, here are a few highlights from the day.

How To Make Decisions In Business

Quite honestly, I'm not always the most decisive person...

A few years ago, I went to a business event and walked away with a flyer for a ‘Business Mastermind’ program.

I was super excited.

At that time I was really struggling in my new business as a Health Coach. I was working with a handful of clients but it was still such a struggle.

I really had no idea what I was doing. And I wanted to succeed so bad!

The Power Of WHO You Learn From

If there's one thing I know well it is the power of surrounding yourself with people a few steps ahead of you. Yesterday I was reminded of the power of WHO you learn from once again.

I was lucky enough to fly Sydney to LA in Business Class a few weeks back.

As I sat down in my seat, I was surrounded by top businessmen who fly all the time. With so much space and luxury in business class from the moment you board, everyone was super upbeat and friendly and within minutes conversations were flowing.

The topic quickly turned to 'how to avoid jetlag' and boy, did these guys know the tricks!

Within 15 minutes of taking my seat, I had new knowledge under my belt of how to arrive at my destination top of my game and avoid jetlag.

Do You Have An Entrepreneur Mindset?

I gave my office a huge spring clean on the weekend and some fancy new decor - it's so new and shiny, I just want to sit in here all day!

This time last year I still worked from my kitchen table.

When I first started my coaching business a few years earlier, I was super excited to set up a beautiful office in our spare bedroom.

I had all of the stationery (from Officeworks back then, not like my beloved Kate Spade stationery today).

I had a new desk from Ikea. And a fancy whiteboard.

I looked the part...

How Denying Your Desires Is Holding You Back (Guest Post by Rachel Sizemore)

This is a guest post by health coach and breathwork expert, Rachel Sizemore.


"Your desires are for you."

This is one of the first lessons Amanda taught me in the UPswing Mastermind. Not only is it ok for you to go for what you want, but it is essential. It is the fuel for the engine that will drive your success.

It’s a tricky one for me.

In the big picture way, I know what I want: to share my gifts authentically with the world, to have a freedom lifestyle, to travel, to live at my body’s natural (read: slow) pace. But especially at the beginning, those desires felt too big, too abstract, too far out of reach to really light me up.

Desires Are Meant To Be Lived

So here's the thing...

I have a bit of a thing for stationery.

My husband has a rule: “No more journals until you have used all of the others”.

Of course, I never listen.

I always have several journals on the go. Personal journals for daily intentions, nighttime journaling and thoughts and meanderings. And stacks of notebooks to write client notes as I coach, lesson notes for UPswing Mastermind modules and blog post ideas.

Want To Be A Successful Health Coach?

Feeling as though there are some barriers holding you back from succeeding as a health coach?

Not sure if you can really 'have it all'?

You want a business that allows you a stress-free working environment where you can work on your own terms.

You want financial stability and at the same time feel like you have a purpose in the world.

Ideal, reliable and long-term clients are part of your vision for what success looks like.

And a big dose of flexibility and location independence is important.

But right now it feels like there are some invisible barriers holding you back...

5 Minutes For YOU (Self-Care For Entrepreneurs)

Many of us have made the exciting transition from an office job to being an entrepreneur.

I often lament on how different my life was working in an office – actual lunch breaks!! I would often take breaks from my desk, paid bills at lunchtime or simply a stroll in the city.

When I decided to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams, at first I had so much time for self-care it was AWESOME. But as my business grew I discovered I struggled to fit time in for myself as the days flew by in a busy blur.

This only increased as my workload increased and my self-care practices during my office days needed to be scheduled in or I risked running out of physical and mental energy.

Should You Quit Your 'Real' Job?

I witness many new coaches waiting for someone to hand them a permission slip to go for their dreams and leave their 'real job'.

When I first wanted to start a Health Coaching business I went through the following waves:

  • I ‘think’ maybe I could do this…

  • My colleagues think I’m crazy…

  • I’ve seen others making money from coaching….

  • But others are telling me it’s not possible….

  • And maybe it’s not…

  • But I REALLY want to do this…

  • Could I really leave my job?

  • Yes…no…yes…no…

  • Arrgggggg

Yes… No... I will... I won't...
