Not very fancy – but boy was it effective! It was the first that Omaha, NE heard of health coaches – I am sure. It ran on Sunday morning. I went to church and when I got back, I had an email from a doctor who wanted me to come work in his office, and phone calls from 3 women and 1 man saying that we were just what they had been hoping for…but didn’t know who to go to. The women were all in their 50’s and just felt tired and sick. The man was overweight and wanted to eat healthier. I was so excited! People needed us.
I got a little more response on the ads…but the very first one was the best. It reassured me why we do what we do…and that our service is really needed.
Since then, we have helped people stop eating gluten, lower their sugar intake, lose weight, increase heart healthy behavior, begin exercise programs, improve children’s behavior, eliminate prescription drug use, and go from chronic illness to energetic and well. Now we have been around long enough to start getting referrals.
I know for a fact that this is what I was meant to do. I am helping health coaches…so, the more health coaches that I help, the more people will find energy, happiness, wellness and better quality of life. That is a pretty good feeling.
What are some of the things that you could get from a health coach…or, if you are a health coach, how have you helped clients?
Thanks so much for posting this Cathy. Sometimes I manage to get so wrapped up in the virtual world that I don’t even give hard copy a second thought.
Hi Rommy, you want to be pretty careful. I used advertising credits…$2300. It was great at first but it dwindled. I really think there are better ways for health coaches to get the word out. It was just nice having such an initial response!
Cathy I see that not only as an advertisement, but a bit of an education as well. People can’t exercise options that they don’t know about. Terrific that you helped some folks change their lives! Keep it up 😀

Thanks Marie!
Becoming a health coach has completely changed my life. I know for sure that this is what I’m supposed to do, too! Cheers to helping others get healthy 🙂
This is wonderful! I put out an advertisement last year but looking back at it, I didn’t really know what I was doing and it wasn’t really focused. However, I think it’s great that you put the ad out locally as this seems more effective. x
