Become a Confident & Qualified Certified Non-Diet Health Coach
Revolutionize Health Coaching—Transform Behaviors, Not Bodies
Break free from diet & wellness culture health coaching and empower your clients to trust their bodies through a weight-neutral approach to health & cognitive behavoral coaching.
The next cohort will start in January 30 2025
Health Coaching MODELs Are Broken
The Problem
We live in a world gripped by diet and wellness culture, where the constant pressure to be thin and “healthier” traps women in cycles of self-doubt, shame, and perfectionism.
The conventional health coaching model leans heavily on restriction, control, and weight loss, leaving clients feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in harmful patterns.
This outdated, fatphobic approach ignores the science of behavior change, making women feel like their bodies are problems to solve. It convinces them they must work harder, restrict more, and lose weight to feel “worthy” of well-being. We’re here to change that.
We are changing that!
The Solution
Inside the Non-Diet Coaching Certification, we bridge the gap between weight-neutral health science and actual human behavior, redefining how health is coached.
Sustainable health isn’t about more information, stricter rules, or control. In fact, piling on more knowledge often leads to overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt—emotions that fuel avoidance, restriction, and harmful behaviors like binge eating and body hatred. Neuroscience supports this: genuine behavior change is rooted not in control but in how people feel about themselves and their health.
But most health coaching ignores this science, still pushing for rigid control and restrictive rules. Layered onto this are the misogynistic and fatphobic standards that treat women’s bodies as problems to solve, forcing them to conform to narrow definitions of beauty and health.
This is what we’re revolutionizing.
The Non-Diet Coaching Certification changes the game in health and nutrition coaching:
- We believe women’s bodies are not problems to be fixed.
- We believe women can be trusted with their own health needs.
- We believe in coaching that honors women as whole people—not just physical bodies.
Our intersectional & collaborative approach to coaching is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Coaching—the gold standard for fostering meaningful changes in health, behavior, and body image.
The health coaching industry needs a revolution, and we’re leading the way.

WHAT ARE GRADUATES ARE SAYING
I feel super confident about my coaching skills now!
Kate Williams Stone
Founder, Kate Williams Stone Coaching
I gained competencies that help me support my clients not just with nutrition but with managing their mindset and body image– a missing piece in other nutrition training programs.
Before working with Stephanie I didn’t unclear about how I wanted to conduct my nutrition coaching business in a non-diet way. I knew that I wanted a non-diet approach to nutrition coaching but didn’t know how to do so.
I was immediately drawn to Stephanie’s no-fuss approach to nutrition and signed up for the Mentorship program within days of hearing about it. What I love most about working with Stephanie is that she’s passionate about and committed to helping you manage your mindset around being a non-diet nutrition coaching entrepreneur.
Through the Program, I gained competencies that will help me support my clients not just with nutrition but with managing their mindset – a missing piece in other nutrition training programs. I have a clear vision for my business and have built friendships with other women that share similar values. I’m very confident that I’m starting on a solid foundation with the tools I need to help me succeed in the nutrition entrepreneurial space
Stephanie helped me see what I couldn’t see – I now feel aligned in my business!
I haven’t felt aligned in my work in such a long time. I was at a point in my business where I was ready to throw in the towel. When I signed up for the Mentorship program, I had been in the industry for over a decade. I wasn’t feeling connected with the work I was doing anymore.
I had been eating intuitively for a while, but I was scared to bring it into my holistic business. I felt isolated and afraid of going against the grain.
Stephanie helped me see what I couldn’t see in my relationship to food and my business.
Stephanie’s coaching allowed me to find the answer that was within me all along. Having the sisterhood with the other students allowed me to tap into the courage I needed to shift my business to the non-diet approach.
By month 3, I launched an intuitive eating program to reinstall my excitement for coaching again. This launch allowed me to pay 2/3 of my investment in the mentorship program.
I haven’t felt aligned in my work in such a long time! I highly recommend the Mentorship Program!
This program fast track my progress with so much clarity- Just do it!
I had so much trouble finding the right coach because no one understands our niche and what we do. How to position our non-diet approach in the market but also how to coach our client effectively. This is something really special and unique about this program and Stephanie.
I found the value for my money within the first 2 weeks of the Program!
Not only does Stephanie challenge you with your mindset with food and body image but also within your capability in your business.
I 100% recommend Stephanie’s program coming from a traditional personal training background entering into the non-diet world, Stephanie has told me everything I need to know and I’m forever thankful.
Thank you, Stephanie, can’t recommend you enough!

Pricing for the non-diet coaching certification
SLIDING SCALE
Since 2021, we’ve adopted a sliding-scale pricing model to make non-diet coaching training accessible to more people, support diverse voices in the coaching industry, and help dismantle diet culture faster. This model, inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk @worthandcunning considers individual financial circumstances to create an equitable path to certification.
The sliding scale relies on truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. While we don’t require income verification, we trust that each participant will select the option that truly reflects their financial situation. All sliding scale options include a no-cost, equal payment plan for added flexibility.
PAYMENT PLANS
Each sliding scale option offers the flexibility of a payment plan or a one-time payment at no additional cost. You can choose the structure that best fits your budget:
Sliding Option $4,000
- Deposit: $1,000 upon registration (once application is approved)
- Payment Plan: 6 monthly payments of $500
- Sliding Option $6,000
- Deposit: $1,000 upon registration (once application is approved)
- Payment Plan: 6 monthly payments of $833
Sliding Option $8,000
- Deposit: $1,000 upon registration (once application is approved)
- Payment Plan: 6 monthly payments of $1,167
By choosing the option that best aligns with your financial reality, you’re helping us create a more inclusive, diverse coaching community. Together, we’re building a movement to challenge diet culture and empower women.
$4,000
✔ You have access to basic needs such as food, shelter, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult, and you stress about it.
✔ You rent lower-end properties or have unstable housing. You may not have a car and/or have limited access to a car, or you may not always be able to afford gas.
✔ You are able to put away money each month to save up to be able to pay for the program, but the middle tier price would mean that you have to save for longer than 12 months.
✔ This tier is for people in need of financial assistance and will be funded by “people paying it forward” in the $8000 tier.
$6,000
✔ You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to meeting your basic needs such as food, shelter and childcare. You have a steady income.
✔ You own or lease a car. You can take a vacation annually or every few years without a financial burden.
✔ Making this investment might require you to reduce some discretionary spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, buying a new outfit, or going on vacation), but the sacrifice is short-term but will not harm you in the long term.
✔ This tier is the fair price for the program.
$8,000
✔ You have financial security, own property, or have personal savings.
✔ You are comfortably able to meet all your basic needs and able to pay for “wants.” You have access to financial savings.
✔ You have the economic privilege and power in our community, this price is for you.
✔ By choosing this price, you are “paying it forward” and contributing to a more equitable world by supporting access for those with less privilege.

Kim Hagle, CPT RHN
Founder, Radiant Vitality
I earned back my investment in the first 3.5 months and I’m on track to double my first-quarter revenue this quarter!
Before this program, I had no clear direction or idea on WHO I actually wanted to serve. Discovering my ideal client brought so much clarity on the type of program I wanted to offer.
She provides so many tools and resources and helps with program creation as well. She also includes the mindset component of running a business and coaching clients which I have realized is VITAL for any type of success.
It truly is a HOLISTIC program for non-diet entrepreneurs and I highly recommend it!

Do you offer a refund?
The non-diet coaching certification is a small group coaching container. If you commit to the program, you're committing to the entire direction of the program. To preserve the integrity of the peer relationships cultivated in small group coaching containers and because there is specific training that stacks upon each other, we cannot accept new students after intake closes.
That means that if someone drops out partway through, we cannot fill their spot. Because the container is so small, there’s no margin for cancellations or drop-outs and so we cannot offer refunds. If you stop participating before the end date and select a payment plan option, your payments are still due in full.
Our certification is a significant commitment of time, money and energy. It’s a serious investment in yourself and your business that can generate a big impact and return across the years.
We appreciate your careful yes -- and we trust it.
You’ve come so far - don’t stop here...
