A BIT ABOUT who we are

We are so glad you are here! Whether you are a health seeker or a health coach looking for your virtual home, we are honored that you're getting to know us. In a nutshell, VHC connects health seekers with a professional coach who acts as a partner and a guide for the complex health change process. 

We're trying to make it EASY to achieve better health, and we believe a board-certified coach can make all the difference. Our coaches take a client-centered approach, meaning you call the shots while they keep you accountable to yourself. We help you make self-directed, lasting health changes, aligned with your own personal values, not ours.

Life is busy, people are multi-tasking to the extreme and too often letting their health fall to the bottom of the list. ​

Our society has evolved with the idea that we have to be productive and on our devices at all times... so while you're at it, why not block a regular time in your calendar to connect to a real human— a health & wellness coach to help make YOU a priority in your own life? It's never too late to start creating the future you deserve.

Virtual Health Coaches are board certified (NBC-HWC) and accessible WHENEVER, WHEREVER, IT WORKS FOR YOU. 

If you're ready to change for good, let's do this. 

how we started

Virtual Health Coaches LLC was formed in 2019 with two purposes in mind:  to create a professional and supportive community for Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches to strengthen their coaching skills and build their businesses and careers; and to create a platform connecting Health Seekers with Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches.
 
Bree Gorman and Caitlin Boyd launched Virtual Health Coaches LLC after meeting in a virtual study group for the NBC-HWC exam in the Fall of 2019.  They took the first steps at building an amazing collaborative community to fulfill these two purposes.
 
Claudia Haller was an early member of the community and connected deeply with the purpose of the company; as the new owner she is fully committed to building and engaging this community to achieve this mission.


​We are better together. 

MEET CLAUDIA

Hi!  I’m Claudia, an Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) trained Health and Wellness Coach.  I enrolled at IIN in 2016 and started my health coaching business in 2017;  at IIN I also took classes in Hormone Health, Gut Health, Detox Living  and Advanced Coaching all before becoming Board Certified in 2020.
 
It is my belief that everyone deserves to live life to the fullest and feel their absolute best by gaining a better understanding of key components such as personal values, diet, mindset, physical activity, how to manage time and how to implement lasting habits that fit their lifestyle. I am passionate about finding what works best for my clients. 
 
The health coaching industry is growing rapidly and in need of Board Certified professionals. I am excited to be able to provide a collaborative community for these trained coaches where they can find support in growing their businesses and careers while strengthening their coaching skills. We are better together.

What is Virtual Health Coaches?

Virtual Health Coaches educates and empowers people to take an active role in improving their health. We are a virtual space for health consumers to connect with coaches, while also providing education on what health coaching is, why it matters, and how it fits into the healthcare landscape. 

We also foster a professional community of board certified coaches, working collaboratively to advance the profession, improve their coaching skills, and build their virtual practice. 

Our coaches join this unique community to grow their trusted referral network, engage in collaborative practice development, and position health & wellness coaching as a critical element of addressing the burden to our health care system due to lifestyle choices and health-deteriorating behavior. ​

what exactly is a health & wellness coach and what do we do? 

Health coaching is a relatively new profession, and it’s critically important in addressing lifestyle or behavior related health conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and several others. 

Coaches help their clients explore what their ideal health looks like, and help them find the motivation and tools they need to make sustainable lifestyle changes. The coaching process is based on positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and proven coaching techniques.

Coaches operate in a framework of positivity, acting as facilitators of human behavior change. We emphasize goal setting and help clients create realistic, actionable plans to change the trajectory of their health. 

As National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coaches, we are trained professionals here to help you navigate through the complexities of the change process. We don't define what that change is, nor do we tell you how you're going to do it. Instead, we help you find the answers that work best for your life, providing health education only when necessary, appropriate, and welcomed. ​

when you’re ready to take control of your health and kick some bad habits, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move in the right direction. 

​we are ready to connect you to your journey, and the perfect coach for you.
