If you’ve heard about Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, you know it is a type of depression that affects millions of people this time of year. Symptoms start in the fall and develop into the winter months, zapping people’s energy and making them feel moody and more prone to depression and illness. With disease and chronic sickness accounting for over 70% of healthcare costs in America, it’s time to rethink how we approach healthcare.

The Soma Institute is dedicated to making a difference in this epidemic—especially this time of year when more people than ever suffer from illness and depression. The Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate Program at Soma offers hands-on training to pursue a career in helping others and making a difference.

The Health and Wellness Coach program teaches students how to establish goals for their clients—changing their lifestyles and moving towards health and wellness. Some of the tactics and practices students learn include: health habits for weight loss, ethics in coaching, stress reduction, motivational techniques, and disease prevention.

If you’ve dreamed about a career helping others and making a real difference, and if you think you could become a qualified health and wellness coach, now is the time to explore this growing field.
