I Now Run Retreats Abroad
Ioana Ak – Health Coach
Graduating from the Health Coach Course gave me the confidence to do what I wanted to do for a long time: run wellness retreats. I am using my Health Coach knowledge and my love for hosting guests to create a close knit community of like-minded people who get together for a few days of wellness and bliss.
Which CNM college did you study at? (London / Online)
I studied online
What did you do before studying at CNM?
I was in the events and marketing industry – and still am.
What made you want to become a Health Coach?
Working in the events and marketing industry can take a toll on one’s health. I started feeling the signs and symptoms of burnout a few years ago – things like lack of energy, low thyroid function, constant stress and overthinking, feeling drained in the evening. I wanted to switch to a lifestyle that would give me my energy back and be able to share this with my loved ones.
What attracted you to CNM’s Health Coach course?
CNM Has a long-standing reputation of being the best in the field, so after hearing about them from different people I realised they must be the best choice. I was also attracted by the prospect of a new career that wouldn’t be as demanding and would leave me time for my family as well. Helping people and creating my own schedule? Yes please! J
What did you enjoy most about the course?
How the body works was so interesting, and I also enjoyed the Coaching and Nutrition modules immensely.
How has studying the Health Coach diploma changed your life?
The Health Coach Course changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. Becoming well and healthy meant now my family eats better, exercises more, and spends more time outdoors.
