#31: Creating Inclusivity in Your Health Coaching Practice

The Marketing for Health Coaches Podcast

How can we (as an industry) be more inclusive - so that all people (regardless of their background, identity, and life experience) have coaches and practitioners who welcome them into their practices.

I was thrilled and honored to explore this topic with my dear friend and colleague, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, Andrea Nakayama.

In the episode, you’ll learn:

• One way to think about inclusivity in your health coaching practice
• 3 questions to ask yourself to determine who you currently want invite in as clients
• How to provide a therapeutic partnership that’s inclusive, providing empathetic care
• How to approach the discomfort you may feel, with gentleness, if you choose to work with clients who are different from you
