Time to get real.  If you are like 99% of coaches or have been on a health journey of your own you ALREADY know enough about health.  Maybe you have already gotten a certification….or two…or three. 

Maybe you are putting off helping people because you lack confidence or you didn’t get the tools you need to start a business.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  In fact over 90% of our enrollees have two or more certifications.  Yep.  

Maybe you don’t feel confident because you aren’t totally healthy yourself yet (in fact, if we’re being honest, you feel like an imposter), you don’t understand how to work with clients in a way that gets them results, you have no understanding of how to grow your business, you have no processes in place so your business feels more like a side hobby (Health Coach Hobbyist is a term I coined because its so common!) and you’re fed up with time-wasters who suck every bit of free information they can out of you.  Again. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

You’re constantly spinning your wheels and searching for a magic solution that will help you finally crack the code on becoming the health coach that stands out from the masses but to be honest, you’re a bit jaded by the industry so your efforts are half-hearted.

Worse, you’re starting to wonder if you should just chalk this career up to one horrible learning experience and succumb to the confines of a day job that you can’t stand just because it feels more realistic and safe.

Hi, I’m Carmen Hunter…certified health coach, trusted health coach mentor, wellness practitioner educator and founder of the new health coaching institute that’s transforming the industry, the Institute for Functional Health Coaching™.

I teach health coaches how to break through their comfort zones, build up their confidence, implement a low-risk, investigative health coaching approach that allows them to work with any client who comes to them, and maximize their income + impact. The best part? I do it all minus all the gimmicks and false promises you’re probably accustomed to.

Just ask my students…

Most of my students seek me out because they are tired of being marketed to, and just want access to an honest and genuine mentor who has faced the same struggles, and who can help them get a handle on their health coaching business (without all the unnecessary bells and whistles).

I was a successful health coach for three years before I transitioned into mentoring health coaches. To be honest with you, it’s not even something I set out to do, it was just a natural progression. 

Ironically, it all began when I enrolled in an expensive, well-known program for yet another health coach certification (because I mistakenly believed I needed more credibility) only to be left completely disappointed with how lightweight the curriculum was and how little support people were getting.  

I ended up spending my time teaching my unique, low-risk and functional method of coaching to many of the students and alumni who also weren’t getting what they needed to grow and be successful. I am grateful to be able to help fellow coaches learn my easy to implement method of coaching that focuses on the lowest risk approach to coaching in the industry today.

When I finished the program, I continued mentoring coaches through the Health Coach Clarity with Carmen Hunter I created to give coaches an uncensored area to voice concerns and needs over the years and boy have we grown.

Then, in summer of 2017, the many programs and services I offered evolved into the Institute for Functional Health Coaching™ which opened its doors to over 100 functional health coaches.

So, gimmicks and false promises? Yeah, not my thing.

Using my experience to help you get to where you need to be in this career so together, we can help make the world a better place?

That’s what I’m about.

Through my mentorship, programs and Institute for Functional Health Coaching™, I’ve guided thousands of health coaches towards success in this industry, and I’d love to help do the same for you.

Carmen Hunter is the founder of the Institute for Functional Health Coaching™, a breakthrough functional health coaching program that teaches aspiring and already-certified health coaches a low-risk, sustainable coaching approach that allows them to safely help their clients get to the root of their health conditions regardless of how the laws around our industry change, thereby maximizing their impact.

The Institute for Functional Health Coaching™ curriculum is built on the belief that most diagnoses are symptoms of a larger health condition and that, for a client to reach true wellness, it’s critical to approach each from a whole mind-body perspective by integrating the seven foundations required for optimal health. These are the checklist by which any one can see results in their quest for better health.

Carmen is also the founder of Health Coach Mentorship & Mastery, a membership group that provides health coaches with the consistent mentorship, support and training needed for them to build and sustain thriving practices.

Her number one focus in the health coaching profession is to educate and inspire coaches to build a successful business with integrity and service that surpasses all others while UNDERwhelming their clients and getting back to the basics of health.  NO more complicated protocols for the clients who aren’t even eating real food yet!  She believes that there are two types of clients looking for coaches:  The overwhelmed symptom chasers (these are the clients who are ready to give up because they have seen multiple doctors and tried everything to get well) and the Standard American Person (who KNOWS they want to feel better but have no idea how to get there).  She supports her enrollees and LIVES by her motto “No question goes unanswered and no need goes unmet”.  She prides herself on having the BEST support team and top notch customer servoice.

She believes in supporting other coaches in their businesses as well as collaborating with those who compliment her beliefs and operate with integrity and transparency. Collaboration is key.  She focuses on teaching coaches about REAL Connection, Communication and Commitment because it encourages Client Compliancy.
