I’m Laurie, founder of Health Coach Study Hall, and I’ve been practicing as a health coach since 2018. With a background in public health, program management, and learning design, I bring a practical, evidence-informed approach to NBHWC exam preparation. Over the past several years, I’ve served as adjunct faculty for two NBHWC-approved coach training programs—one in academia and one in a corporate setting—and trained and evaluated health coaches across nationwide digital health programs.

Since I stepped into the world of health and wellness coaching, I’ve been on a mission to help aspiring coaches feel more confident, capable, and supported—especially when preparing for the NBHWC board exam. What lights me up most is connecting people with tools that make learning clearer, more efficient, and far less overwhelming.

I also believe everyone could benefit from working with a health coach. That belief fuels my commitment to strengthening the profession and making the path to national board certification more accessible and less stressful. Health Coach Study Hall exists to help you prepare in a focused, realistic way—so you can show up on exam day calm, prepared, and confident as the professional you already are.
