March 4 - April 22, 2025 -  Tuesdays, 6-8:30 p.m.

 

This advanced coaching program for wellness professionals is for those interested in helping their clients achieve their dietary goals more quickly, easily and permanently. If you want to learn how to dive deeply into your clients’ relationships with food to help them heal, grow and step into a healthier relationship with food, this program is for you.

This is an intensive coaching program that will turn you into an expert in a very short time! Practice is critical. Even if you are scared, nervous, overwhelmed or don’t feel like you’re ready, do it anyway! The only way to feel better about it is to do it a lot, do it imperfectly and keep getting better by doing it. The focus will be on learning by doing doing doing, not spending time regurgitating facts, all while getting detailed feedback from your instructors on your skills and abilities.

In order to successfully complete the program, plan to dedicate approximately 5 hours each week:

• 2 hours of external skills practice, assignments, and other activities
• 2.5 hours of in-person learning during weekly sessions with instructor and Food Story Coaching Founder Ian Rubin, MA, CPT, CHC
