The CHEF Coaching Program isn't a nutrition course, and it won't ask you to hand out meal plans.

If you've held back from enrolling because you assumed this was outside your scope as a coach, it's worth a second look. This is coaching work.

Seats are filling for the Wellcoaches September 15 cohort.
