About
FOR NEWER Certified Wellcoaches, NBC-HWC and ICF ACC or PCC COACHES: Go From Beginner to Brilliant!
I provide individual and group mentor coaching and affordable digital products to accelerate your mastery. With 20 years of coaching experience and almost 1400 hours of mentoring and testing Wellcoaches students' skills, I know how to help you step further into your ICF and NBHWC competencies.
Wellcoaches Students and Certified Wellcoaches, you can purchase Beginner to Brilliant here. I've been a Mentor Coach for Wellcoaches students for more than 15 years and enjoy helping graduates of the program continue to hone their skills. I also wrote Going from Beginner to Brilliant: A Practical Guide to Passing Your Practical, a workbook exclusively for Wellcoaches that walks through a coaching session with exercises to develop their personal style as a coach and effectively coach clients to the changes they desire to make.
For NBC-HWC coaches, I'll help you progress more quickly toward mastery of your competencies. I’ve worked with Wellcoaches students, including healthcare and fitness professionals learning to balance their expertise with a coaching approach, as well as those from other backgrounds who are developing the skills to help clients make meaningful changes in their health, mindset, and overall well-being.
For ICF Coaches, mentoring hours with me count toward your ACC certification or recertification, as well as toward your PCC credential. As an ICF-PCC, I offer qualifying mentoring through the Mentoring Membership, where seven hours count as group coaching; you can then add three individual sessions to meet the required 10 hours. View more details on the Mentoring Membership page.
I also provide individual coaching
Do you give to everyone but yourself? I work with professionals who struggle to find time for themselves and their own well-being. Many work in high-stress environments that tax their compassion and other resources, leading to a lack of life satisfaction and even burnout.
Even with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, by partnering with me you will find ways. One of my clients cried when describing what it meant to finally achieve the same level of personal well-being as the success achieved at work.
More About Me
I’ve worked in hospitals, including in Pediatrics, on the Chemotherapy/IV Team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. I spent time working in pharmaceuticals as a clinical research associate, and as a copywriter and creative director in medical advertising. I’ve pushed drugs with needles and keyboards.
But what I enjoy the most is Wellness Coaching, helping people become their healthiest, best selves using the knowledge and skills I’ve developed from the evidence-based training I received from Wellcoaches School of Coaching. I also have a lot of heart for helping other, less experienced coaches develop their skills and personal style.
I've had the demanding career, juggled multiple responsibilities, worked long days, and done the 3+ hour a day commute. These life experiences will serve you well, because I know what it’s like to struggle to take care of oneself through all of that.
Almost 20 years ago, I found Wellcoaches, which aligned with my interest in taking a holistic approach to health and integrating healthy lifestyle habits to optimize health and wellness. I enjoyed the core training so much that I signed on to participate in the first Professional Health and Wellness Coach Training group. There, we went beyond health behavior change theories into positivity, meaning and purpose as they relate to wellness, as well as some advanced tools.
In fact, Margaret Moore, Founder and CEO of Wellcoaches has said, "It's really life coaching from a wellness perspective." This is what I bring to you—a focus on what is most meaningful and important to you to accomplish as we work together, whether as a Mentee or a private Life Coaching client.
I left medical advertising to take a position as an RN Health Educator/Coach, working with employees of a major financial firm at their on-site Health Centers. These people had challenging work schedules, yet I was able to help them make huge shifts, one small step at a time. I hope to have the privilege of doing the same for you! I've evolved over the years as I've grown and continued to learn more about evidence-based coaching and the power it has to help people thrive.
I hold memberships in the Institute of Coaching, NBHWC, International Coach Federation, and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I also maintain my certifications by completing the required continuing education hours for each so I can provide you with what you need to move into the life you want.
But don't just take my word for it--check out the testimonials below and with my Mentoring and Coaching packages.
I hope to cross paths with you!

Testimonials
Beth, I genuinely appreciate all I learned from you today. Our first session was like a master class in coaching 101. Thank you for your patience.
- Angella, Wellcoaches Mentee
Hi Beth, you were my Wellcoaches coach mentor back in 2022 and I'm reaching out to thank you for the important role you still have in my coaching career.
I just this morning received confirmation from the NBHWC that I passed the July exam to become a board certified health coach! It was a very rigorous process, I studied every day for 4 months, yet I finished the exam back in July feeling deeply uncertain.
But then as I walked to my car I recalled your words to me before my Wellcoaches practical exam. You said I was a coach at heart and had everything I needed to pass. Your words and the absolute belief they conveyed have become a powerful affirming presence for me as I progress in my career. And I scored in the 97th percentile so your words ring true once again! I'm immensely proud of my effort.
- Jennifer, Wellcoaches Mentee
Hi Beth,
I wanted to share with you that I passed the practical assessment!
Thank you for all of your help and feedback. There was one piece of advice you gave me in your email with the attached recordings that really helped me. You said to listen appreciatively. I was apprehensive about listening to myself but I took your advice and when I did I liked how I sounded. I’ve always felt like I am slow to find my words but upon listening it sounds like I am just calm and deliberate. The last recording gave me a lot of confidence for the assessment (even tho I was still nervous!)

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do you have?
I completed Wellcoaches' evidence-based, Core Health and Well-Being Coach training in 2005 and their advanced 9-Month Professional Coach Training in 2011 that prepared me to become an ICF PCC-credentialed coach. I've been conducting and reviewing Practical Skills Assessments (PSAs) for Wellcoaches Center of Coaching Excellence since 2007 and providing mentoring sessions to help students hone their skills since 2011. I verify these sessions for Wellcoaches students who are seeking or renewing an ICF ACC or PCC credential.
In addition to mentoring, I developed subject matter content for sections of the Wellcoaches Lifestyle Medicine for Coaches portion of Module 2 and created a workbook for Wellcoaches students: Beginner to Brilliant: A Practical Guide to Passing Your Practical--and Beyond.
I passed the first National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching exam in 2017 and became ICF Certified shortly after that. I am also a registered nurse and have both a BS in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

How will I benefit from this membership?
Are you ready to grow faster, coach with more confidence, and truly transform your clients' lives?
After years of mentor coaching, I've seen it firsthand — the small but powerful shifts that separate good coaches from great ones. The difference often comes down to a few core skills: asking open-ended questions that unlock deeper thinking, offering reflections that are concise yet profound, embracing the power of silence, and using affirmations that genuinely move clients forward.
These aren't skills that take years to stumble upon on your own. With the right guidance, you can build them now.
In this membership, you'll get more than feedback — you'll get a true partnership. A space where your strengths are recognized and celebrated, where honest and empathetic guidance helps you grow without judgment, and where everything you learn can be integrated into your coaching in a way that feels completely and authentically you.
Newer coaches who invest in mentorship don't just improve faster — they build the kind of confidence and competency that clients can feel. And that trust? It changes everything.
And here's something that might surprise you: this is a community where everyone grows. Even after 20 years of coaching, I continue to learn from my mentees. You won't just learn from me — you'll learn from the other Mentoring Members too, as you show up, engage, and grow together.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Let's grow together.
