Our mission

Everyone needs a coach. Everyone deserves one.

Health and wellness coaching is one of the fastest-growing fields in wellness — and NBHWC certification is becoming its recognized professional standard. PATH exists to help build that future: connecting coaches, clients, healthcare providers, and employers into one network, and making sure coaching reaches people regardless of what they can afford — with student coaches offering free sessions as they build the practice hours they need toward board certification, and experienced coaches giving back when they choose to.

When you join PATH, you're not just signing up for software — you're part of growing coaching into the profession it's ready to become.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about PATH.

For coaches
What is PATH? +
PATH is a coaching practice management platform built specifically for NBHWC-certified health coaches. It includes client management, session notes, health intake forms, coaching agreements, messaging, habit tracking, session logging for board certification, and CEU tracking — all in one place.
Do I need to be NBHWC certified to join? +
No — you can join while you're still in your NBHWC program. PATH is built to grow with you: use it as a student coach to practice, log your 50 sessions toward board certification, and then continue using it as a certified coach to build your practice.
Is it really free for a year? +
Yes! Founding coaches — those who join during our beta — get full access to PATH completely free for 12 months. No credit card required to get started. After your free year, founding coaches pay just $9/month, locked in forever.
What happens after my free year? +
After 12 months, founding coaches are grandfathered in at $9/month — locked in forever as a thank you for being early. You'll never pay the standard price. We'll send you a reminder before your free year ends.
Can my clients use PATH for free? +
Yes — clients are always free on PATH. They can fill out your intake form, receive coaching agreements, and message you through PATH at no cost to them.
How is PATH different from other coaching tools? +
Most coaching tools are built for life coaches or business coaches and adapted for health coaching. PATH is built from the ground up for NBHWC coaches — session notes follow NBHWC methodology, the session log tracks your 50 hours toward board certification, and the CEU tracker helps you stay current after you're certified. It's the only platform that grows with you from student to certified coach.
What's PATH's bigger vision? +
Coaching has the power to help people make real, lasting change — and we believe NBHWC coaching is on its way to becoming a recognized part of how healthcare, workplaces, and communities support people's wellbeing. PATH is building toward a network that connects coaches with healthcare providers, employers, and underserved communities — including working toward partnerships with government and community organizations so coaching reaches people who need it most, regardless of ability to pay. It starts with the foundation: connecting great coaches with the clients who need them.
Is PATH HIPAA compliant? +
NBHWC's own guidance holds that coaches should manage client health information according to HIPAA's best practices — even though HIPAA doesn't always legally apply to independent coaching practices. PATH is built with that guidance at the center of our design: all data is fully encrypted, row-level security keeps every coach's client list private to them alone, and clients control exactly what they share. We're working toward full formal HIPAA compliance, including a signed Business Associate Agreement, as PATH grows.
For clients
How do I find a coach on PATH? +
Click "Find a free coach" on our home page to browse our marketplace of NBHWC coaches. You can filter by specialty, focus area, and availability. Each coach has a profile page where you can learn about them and book a session directly.
Are sessions really free? +
Yes! Student coaches on PATH offer free sessions as part of their training. Certified coaches may offer free discovery calls and then charge for ongoing sessions — each coach sets their own rates. You can filter for free sessions in the marketplace.
How many free sessions can I get? +
Clients can receive up to 12 free coaching sessions total through PATH. This ensures that free coaching is meaningful and that student coaches get the practice hours they need toward board certification. After 12 sessions, you can continue working with a certified coach at their rate.
Is my health information private? +
Absolutely. Your health information is fully encrypted and handled in line with the best-practice data standards NBHWC recommends for coaches. Only your coach can see your intake form, session notes, and messages. We never sell your data or share it with third parties. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.
What is an NBHWC-certified coach? +
NBHWC stands for the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. It's the gold standard credential for health coaches in the US. NBHWC-certified coaches have completed an accredited training program, passed a rigorous board exam, and follow a strict code of ethics. Working with an NBHWC coach means working with someone who is trained in evidence-based behavior change and holistic wellbeing.
