For Nurses Who Do Their Homework

Is This Legit? Read This Before You Enroll.

You've seen our ads. You've watched a masterclass, maybe listened to the podcast. And somewhere in the back of your mind, the nurse in you — the one trained to verify everything — is asking the right question. Good. This page exists to answer it. No hype, no countdown timers. Just the receipts.


Accreditation & Boards

Yes — this is an AHNCC‑recognized pathway to NC‑BC / HWNC‑BC.

Don't take our word for it. The American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation — the body that governs board certification for nurse coaches — lists Nurse Life Coach Academy as a recommended program. Peer‑reviewed. Endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association.

Board‑Certified Nurse CoachCredentialed. Verified. Yours.
And after certification, it doesn't stop: our 200‑CEU Nurse Coach Residency is post‑graduate private practice training — the part most programs skip.

Nurse coaching is the fastest‑growing holistic specialty in nursing. There are roughly 2,500 board‑certified nurse coaches (NC‑BC / HWNC‑BC) in the entire country — inside a $2.4 billion coaching industry. Nurse coaches aren't catching up to this industry. They're emerging as its leaders.

Where This Goes

One training. Four directions.

Nurse Coach Training6 months
Part‑Time Practicealongside your shifts
Full‑Time Practicereplace your income
Organizational Coachinginside healthcare systems

Our grads' paths look different on purpose: some build a part‑time practice alongside their shifts, some replace their income entirely, some bring coaching inside their organizations. The training is the same. The ceiling is yours.
