Become a Christian Health Coach
Embark on a transformative journey with our comprehensive program designed for Christians who aspire to guide others through healthy lifestyle changes and challenges.
This course, a powerful life coaching package, not only combines physical health, goal setting, and mental wellness but also fosters personal growth and empowerment. If you’d rather a secular coaching program or one solely focused on mental health check out our Feeling Great Coach Certification. If you’d like both, email me and we can work something out!
Unlike typical ‘watch and get a certificate’ courses, this program is designed to provide you with practical skills IF you do the practices as outlined. You will also submit demonstrations and receive honest critiques of your work. Plus, you’ll have one-on-one support and guidance from me, Angela Poch, RPC, licensed mental health counsellor, health & wellness coach, and level 5 TEAMCBT Master Therapist & Trainer, ensuring you feel valued and supported throughout your learning journey.
The price includes all materials and optional companion courses (such as nutrition and cooking courses, hydrotherapy, mental wellness, and many more) with the exception of the optional TEAM-CBT worksheets and license from Dr. David Burns.
NOTE: Before you start, please scroll to the bottom for a video on the limitations of coaching.
If you complete this course AND do all the recommended practice, you’ll learn how to:
- Be a health & wellness coach using the Ministry of Healing as your guide.
- Show others how to lower risk factors for the top 5 causes of death relating to lifestyle.
- Lead clients to make positive lifestyle changes.

Additional Information:
You’ll learn how to communicate more effectively and understand different personalities. Applying what you know will make you more proficient in active listening and using appropriate questions to guide your clients to make positive lifestyle choices and goals that will improve their quality of life and mental well-being. There is a certificate of completion for those who score 80% or more on the tests and complete the practice sessions.
Many of the lessons have a mental or spiritual focus. Why? Science has proven that the mind is more powerful than any other single influence over our bodies. The textbook for this course is called The Ministry of Healing, which is from a creation perspective and uses references to the Bible.
While this course is rooted in a Biblical perspective, it is not exclusive to any one religion. It is open to all individuals who are receptive to spiritual matters, regardless of their denomination. Approximately 80% of the material can be adapted to faith in a loving creator, God, or higher power, making it a course that is inclusive and adaptable to various spiritual beliefs.

Instructor
Hello, I'm Angela Poch and I'm a mental health counsellor and life coach specializing in training therapists and coaches to help their clients: defeat depression & anxiety, improving relationships, and better overall health and wellness. I use TEAM-CBT and, when appropriate, faith-based methods to create lasting change in a brief time frame.
I've worked with Dr. David Burns as a small group leader in his workshops and was a small group leader in his Stanford Tuesday group for health professionals. I worked at the Feeling Good Institute as a clinician and trainer for 3 years. I am a member of ASI and have done several presentation for NAD Health Summits and other churches and conferences.
In addition to one-on-one personal work, I also offer consulting and training for therapists and life coaches. I also enjoy putting on workshops and doing speaking engagements.
Feel free to book a 20min consult or email me to learn more.
