Welcome, Coach to the Q-Review 2.0!
Are you getting ready to take the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching’s (NBHWC) Exam? Feeling a little overwhelmed by all the material and how to cover it all? Are you up to date on all the new NBHWC Competencies? Do you have a plan? Do you have support? We will walk with you right up until testing day!
Marilena originally created this program for all her students who were feeling stressed about how to tackle the exam prep! She has put hundreds of hours into preparing this material and our coaches consistently feel more confident than they could have ever imagined going into their exam.
We have decided to open this up for other coaches from all programs who do not have the same level of support. We invite you to walk the prep path with us as we systematically cover the concepts, skills and knowledge base you are required to review in order to be successful in earning this credential.
We are currently enrolling coaches who are planning to sit for any upcoming or future exams. You can meet, connect and share with them through our Facebook study group.
This 60+ hour self-study program (42 recorded content hours + an additional 16 self-study hours) will cover all the material you are expected to review, help you relax, and create your best test-taking strategy while feel supported all along the study path! Featured additional support materials include: Sample Quizzes, Highlighted check list guides for each module, our Know Your Numbers guide with all the Health and Wellness Numbers you need to know for the exam all to anchor in your knowledge and improve your focus!
In addition to the basics, we offer you 5 Live Question Strategy Review Sessions where we focus on how to deconstruct and answer exam questions! A third thread for our review is on how to manage any testing anxiety you may be experiencing so that you can bring your best on exam day!
You’ve got this… and we have got your back!

Thoughts from Coaches in the Course
Thank you very much! The way the information was presented as well as your calm supportive presence on the calls has helped me not only feel prepared for the certification exam, but has eased my spirit. I don’t think I would have known where to begin studying if I didn’t have this course. It was organized and well paced. The information that was taught has made be more confident in my ability to pass the test and has also helped me become a better coach. I very much appreciate you and the time you spent doing this course. I highly recommend anyone who is going to take the certification to take this review course. You will be so grateful you did.
Cassandra Herbert, MS, APRN/PMH-BC,ANH-BC
I have really enjoyed you and your style; accessible, relatable, professional, thorough. The course was an opportunity for very in-depth learning and many thoughtful perspectives on a vast amount of material. No matter the outcome, at least I know I gave it my best shot. As I tell my athletes, at some point you just have to trust your training. Glad I had yours in my arsenal.
Amy Tardio ACC,MGCP, CPC
This course is packed with all the competencies outlined by the NBHWC. The lessons are provided available for various learning styles (audio, visual, etc) and formats (pdf & word). The instructors take a deep dive into the material and make themselves available for questions and clarity. They’ve compiled sample questions that prepare you for the critical thinking needed to navigate the test. When I took the test I felt sufficiently ready. Additionally this course has assisted me in best practices at my wellness center.
