I would highly recommend this review course to anyone who wants to have organized resources and an "outline" of what to study to pass the national exam.

Janet White, NBC-HWC

The exam prep course prepared me to sit for and pass the National Board Exam for Health & Wellness Coaches. The lectures, flashcards and additional material provided a solid study outline that kept me on track with learning. The instructors are extremely supportive. I couldn't have passed the exam without this course.

I was not a graduate of the Guiding Mindful Change coaching program. However, the prep course had open enrollment for graduates of an NBHWC approved coaching program. It was money well spent.

I will be enrolling in the continuing education courses this outstanding program offers.

The Guiding Mindful Change exam prep course helped me stay on track in studying for the NBC-HWC exam. The layout of the material made all the information seem less daunting and achievable. The program held me accountable for my studies too. Highly recommend!

Mallory Turner, NBC-HWC

This course is amazing! I highly recommend it for people wanting to become board certified! The course provides structure and an easy process to follow for studying. They also provide extra materials (like videos) that add to the content outline. Thank you all! I'm happy to say I passed the exam and I credit that largely to your support.

Guiding Mindful Change surpassed my expectations for a prep course. Molly and Billie have done an amazing job setting up this course, organizing the content, and providing resources that help the content make sense. I have a busy schedule, but this course was broken down in a way that I could follow it at my own pace and still have time to go back and review the information. I felt significantly more prepared for the exam by taking this course than I would have if I tried just studying on my own. I would highly recommend taking this course. Molly and Billie are great and make learning both interesting and fun!

You will learn a lot from these two fabulous women who put this together. If it weren’t for these two, I don’t think I would have passed! Thanks Molly and Billie, you rock!

Terri Leichty, NBC-HWC

Really appreciate the study materials, Molly. It's been really helpful to have everything organized

Shirley Garrett, NBC-HWC

Billie, your study course is my "bible" as I'm finally preparing to write the exam this June. I've got a whole binder of the flash cards, PDFs and notes that I carry with me in case I'll have spare time to review. The links that you provided in the course are also great to have when I'm sitting around. I'm pretty sure that I'll feel well prepared when exam time rolls around. THANK YOU for the amazing prep course.

Satyan Shah, NBC-HWC

This was a very good, well thought out, non-stressful way to learn the material in an organized way so that we had enough time to grasp the different concepts and feel ready for the exam. The teachers were both very supportive and I felt like there was someone there to help you through any issues we encountered.

Amy Benbow Turner, NBC-HWC

Thank you to the group and Molly's flashcards - they helped me pass. Ladies, although I couldn't join any of the calls being on a completely different time zone I learnt so much from your conversations and perspectives on the call.

I really appreciate the layout of the program and the book pages. These resources have allowed me to get laser focused on the areas which I am struggling with. It has been a great time saver not having to think about "where did I see that?" This entire program has been comprehensive and I am feeling well prepared for the exam.
