Health coaching aligned not only with my values, but with the way I see my future

Ailbhe – Health Coach

What motivated you to join the CNM Health Coach Diploma?

After stepping back from my corporate role to raise my family, I had the opportunity to reflect on what truly mattered to me.

Health coaching aligned not only with my values, but with the way I see my future, supporting health in a holistic, sustainable way and doing work that feels deeply meaningful.”

What attracted you to CNM Health Coach?

After researching different options, CNM really stood out to me. I loved that the Level 5 diploma balanced academic depth with practical learning in clinic, and also supported the transition into building a health coaching business through the business module.

What did you love about the course?

I loved the depth of knowledge the course offered — I learned so much that I’d never even considered before. That learning continues to support me, not only in my own health journey and that of my family, but also in the work I do with my clients.

How has the course changed your life?

The course gave me not only a sense of direction and purpose, but also a strong sense of community. The friendships formed have lasted, and we continue to support one another as we grow into our work as health coaches.

What are you doing now that you have graduated?

I’m currently focused on setting up Tidal Health, developing new packages, and planning the direction I’d like the business to take over the coming months.

What do you love about practising?

I love supporting others to feel empowered and informed about their own health. Being able to help people reconnect with their inner wisdom, especially when they feel lost or overwhelmed like I did, feels deeply meaningful. It gives me a strong sense of purpose, knowing I’m doing work that truly matters.

What is your advice for people who want to study health coaching?

I would absolutely encourage it. Investing in yourself through this course gives you strong foundations for your own health, for supporting those around you, and for working with future clients.
