The Diploma gave me the opportunity to build a strong foundation in nutrition, lifestyle and behaviour change
Aimee – Health Coach
Knowing the training was recognised within healthcare settings (NHS) gave me the confidence that I was investing in a high-quality qualification.
What motivated you to join the CNM Health Coach Diploma?
I originally trained as a mindset coach and began supporting women with self-trust, productivity, and living in alignment with their menstrual cycle. Over time I noticed that many of my clients were struggling with deeper health challenges such as fatigue, hormone imbalances, low mood, weight struggles and unhealthy habits.
Alongside this, I had experienced my own challenges with energy levels and hormones, which gave me a deeper understanding of how frustrating it can feel when you know you want to be healthier but don’t know where to start.
I realised that mindset alone wasn’t enough, I wanted to support women in a more holistic and practical way. The CNM Health Coach Diploma gave me the opportunity to build a strong foundation in nutrition, lifestyle and behaviour change so I could help clients make meaningful and sustainable improvements to their health.
What attracted you to CNM health coach?
I was drawn to CNM because of its holistic approach and practical focus. The course felt grounded in real-life coaching skills rather than just theory, and I liked that it emphasised working alongside medical professionals and supporting clients to take an active role in their health.
I was particularly attracted to the fact that the diploma is accredited by the NHS Personalised Care Institute (PCI). Knowing the training was recognised within healthcare settings gave me confidence that I was investing in a high-quality qualification.
Since graduating, I have gone on to work as a Health and Wellbeing Coach within the NHS as well as running my own coaching practice, so the course has provided a strong foundation for both clinical and private coaching work.
What was the one thing you liked most about the course?
What I liked most about the course was how practical it was. It gave me tools and frameworks that I could use straight away with clients, particularly around behaviour change, habit building and supporting long-term health improvements.
The course helped me connect the dots between nutrition, lifestyle, mindset and hormones, which has become a key focus in my work.
How has studying this course changed your life?
Studying the course deepened my understanding of health and gave me the confidence to support people in a more meaningful way.
It also changed how I approach my own wellbeing. I became more intentional about nutrition, movement, rest and stress management, and I gained a clearer sense of purpose in my work.
The course helped me define my niche in women’s hormone and metabolic health, which has shaped the direction of my coaching practice.
What are you doing now that you have graduated?
I now work part-time as a Health and Wellbeing Coach within the NHS while also running my own private coaching practice.
In my private practice I support both men and women, although I primarily work with women aged 35–55 who are struggling with fatigue, burnout, hormone challenges, weight struggles and unhealthy habits. I help clients build sustainable routines around nutrition, movement, sleep and mindset so they can regain their energy, improve their health and feel more confident in themselves.
Alongside one-to-one coaching, I run workshops and group programmes and continue to deepen my knowledge in hormone and metabolic health. I am also expanding my work into workplace wellbeing, supporting organisations to improve employee health and wellbeing.
What do you love about practising?
What I love most about practising as a Health Coach is seeing people reconnect with themselves and start to believe that change is possible.
Many clients come to coaching feeling stuck, exhausted or frustrated with their health, particularly after years of struggling with weight, low energy or inconsistent habits. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them build confidence, develop sustainable routines and begin to trust their bodies again.
I especially enjoy helping women understand how their hormones, lifestyle and mindset all work together. When clients realise that small, consistent changes can transform how they feel day to day, it often creates a powerful shift not just in their health, but in their confidence and overall quality of life.
I also love seeing the ripple effect that health coaching can create. When one person improves their health and wellbeing, it often positively influences their family, workplace and wider community, which makes the impact of this work feel even more meaningful.
Seeing those long-term changes and knowing that someone feels stronger and more in control of their wellbeing is what makes this work so rewarding.
What would you say to people thinking of studying the Health Coach Diploma
I would say go for it if you are passionate about helping people improve their health in a practical and supportive way.
The course gives you a strong foundation in both health knowledge and coaching skills, and it prepares you to work with real clients in a professional and ethical way.
It’s a great choice if you want to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives while also building a rewarding and flexible career.
