Hear From FMCA Alumni
The FMCA Alumni Network continues to grow.
Here are just a few stories of transformation and joy after studying functional medicine health coaching.
Initially, I thought this class would be just a class that I learn from and implement. However, shortly after starting, I realized this program wasn’t just ‘another class‘. Although there’s not Emotional Intelligence called out as a benefit of FMCA, it should be. In addition to learning about the body, mind, and coaching, I found myself having a higher level of emotional self-control, a decrease in judgement or assuming, and an overall calmness of my personality. FMCA doesn’t just change our clients’ lives, it changes ours too!
The knowledge I have garnered through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy with IFM has been invaluable. Through learning the foundations of functional medicine, positive psychology and coaching basics I have become a better version of myself and feel equipped to help others in similar processes through coaching and in my own practice. Thank you FMCA.
My journey at FMCA has been truly transformational. FMCA thoroughly covers Functional Medicine, Functional Nutrition, Positive Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, and the Art as well as the Science of Coaching through course materials delivered by experts in their fields.
I felt informed, guided, supported, and have grown. It has been a journey of self-discovery for me. I am truly grateful to everyone at FMCA who has contributed to this process—you have touched my life.
Thank you FMCA for being an integral part of my journey in becoming a FMCHC. Thank you for providing a safe space to cultivate growth. I am grateful for the community I have joined and look forward to continuing to connect and collaborate with like-minded folks.
