We\u2019re back from an amaaaazing trip to NYC &#8211; I\u2019ll share a recap soon! &#8211; and getting back into the routine. I\u2019ve been tackling the laundry mountain, getting ready for the Pilot\u2019s birthday and P\u2019s bday celebrations, and some more travel. I\u2019m headed to Ft. Lauderdale and LA soon!<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to share something that I\u2019ve been working on behind the scenes: helping fellow IHPs and health coaches launch their businesses. I\u2019ve been in the online space for 15+ years now (how?!) and have learned so many things along the way of reaching multiple six figures online.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve loved sharing what I\u2019ve learned and helping others start successful online businesses. I started a small group paid mentorship here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/gina-harney.mykajabi.com\/mastermind\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">read more about Revenue RX<\/a> &#8211; but am also working on as many free resources as possible. One of my first clients just ran a 7-day challenge and 20 people signed up!<\/p>\n<p>The first free resource is a <a href=\"https:\/\/gina-harney.mykajabi.com\/health-coach-toolkit\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Health Coach Toolkit, which you can download for free here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=221142\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-221142 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-221142\" src=\"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/health-coach-toolkit-1024x683-1.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Free Health Coach Toolkit<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a new health coach or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.integrativehealthpractitioner.org?x=FITNESSISTA\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">integrative health practitioner,<\/a> you probably feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm. You\u2019ve spent months (or years!) studying functional medicine, learning lab analysis, and helping clients transform their lives\u2026<\/p>\n<p>but now you\u2019re asking:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, how do I actually run my business?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I get it. When I started coaching, I had no idea what forms I needed, how to set up client onboarding, or how to keep my systems organized.<strong> I wanted to focus on helping people feel better, not chase down spreadsheets and waivers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly why I created the Free Health Coach Toolkit &#8211; to help you skip the messy trial-and-error phase and start your practice with clarity, confidence, and systems that actually work.<\/p>\n<p>This free toolkit includes everything you need to launch or streamline your coaching business &#8211; whether you\u2019re just finishing IHP2 or have been coaching clients on the side for a while.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s Inside the Free Health Coach Toolkit<\/h3>\n<p>This toolkit is designed to give you the exact resources I wish I\u2019d had when I started my practice: all editable, customizable, and easy to brand as your own.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find inside:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Client Intake Form<\/h4>\n<p>Your first step in understanding your client\u2019s health history, symptoms, and goals.<\/p>\n<p>This editable form helps you collect everything you need to create personalized recommendations &#8211; without missing key details.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this with a tool like Google Forms or Typeform so clients can fill it out easily online and you can keep everything organized in one place.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Waiver &amp; Liability Form<\/h4>\n<p>This protects you and your business while setting expectations for your clients.<\/p>\n<p>It includes sections for confidentiality, medical disclaimers, and clear boundaries about the scope of your coaching. This is NOT legal advice. Just take a copy to your lawyer and they can help you modify it to work with your unique business and the regulations of your state. This is a starting point that you can customize as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Keep a signed copy on file for each client (digital copies are fine!). It\u2019s one of the simplest ways to protect your business legally and professionally. I also recommend getting some type of insurance for health coaches. I use Alternative Balance.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Toxicity Quiz<\/h4>\n<p>One of my favorite tools for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.integrativehealthpractitioner.org?x=FITNESSISTA\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">integrative health practitioners<\/a> and health coaches.<\/p>\n<p>This quiz helps your clients assess their toxic load so you can guide them toward safe, natural detox practices before jumping into advanced protocols.<\/p>\n<p>How to use it:<\/p>\n<p>Send before your first session to gauge where they\u2019re starting<\/p>\n<p>Revisit after 4\u20136 weeks to track progress<\/p>\n<p>Use it as an educational resource for group programs or challenges<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/functional-labs-moms-over-30-should-run\/functional-labs-every-woman-should-run\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-206412 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-206412\" src=\"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/functional-labs-every-woman-should-run-1024x683-1.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>4. Discovery Call Script<\/h4>\n<p>If discovery calls make you nervous, this script gives you a confident, conversational flow to follow.<\/p>\n<p>It helps you build trust, ask the right questions, and smoothly transition into sharing your offer &#8211; without feeling spammy or salesy.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Tip: Record your first few calls (with permission!) to review your tone and pacing. You\u2019ll sound more natural and confident with every one.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Website &amp; Social Presence Checklist<\/h4>\n<p>Not sure where to start online? This checklist covers everything you need for a polished, professional presence, even if you\u2019re DIYing your first website.<\/p>\n<p>It walks you through your must-have pages (Home, About, Services, Contact), brand basics (logo, fonts, colors), and social media bio essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Quick Win Tip: Create a simple landing page with your freebie opt-in before worrying about a full website. You just need one clear way for people to find you and join your email list.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Weekly Content Calendar<\/h4>\n<p>Because consistency builds trust and is one of the most important things you can do to share your offerings and your unique style\/method with others.<\/p>\n<p>This calendar helps you plan your posts for the week, focusing on five key pillars:<\/p>\n<p>Education &amp; value<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration &amp; stories<\/p>\n<p>Behind-the-scenes<\/p>\n<p>Engagement<\/p>\n<p>Promotion<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gina-harney.mykajabi.com\/health-coach-toolkit\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Download your toolkit here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Tips for New Health Coaches Getting Started<\/h3>\n<p>Even with the right tools, the early stages of coaching can feel like a lot. Here are a few lessons I\u2019ve learned \u00a0that will help you find your rhythm faster.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Don\u2019t Overcomplicate Your Offers<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s tempting to create multiple programs, but clarity sells. Once you have one solid offer that converts, you can always expand later.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Build Your Email List Early<\/h4>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have a full website yet, start growing your list with a simple lead magnet (like this toolkit!).<\/p>\n<p>Email is the best way to stay connected, build trust, and fill your client spots organically.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Use Systems That Save You Time<\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to use tools that make your life easier:<\/p>\n<p>Kajabi or Practice Better for client management<\/p>\n<p>ConvertKit or Flodesk for email marketing<\/p>\n<p>Canva for branding + marketing materials<\/p>\n<p>These save you hours of admin work every week &#8211; and allow you to focus on client results.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Prioritize Client Experience<\/h4>\n<p>Your first few clients will be your best teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for feedback, refine your process, and always overdeliver.<\/p>\n<p>A great onboarding experience, consistent communication, and simple check-ins can turn clients into long-term advocates.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Keep Learning and Keep It Simple<\/h4>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to know everything before you start.<\/p>\n<p>Pick one area to master (like hormones, digestion, or detox) and go all in.<\/p>\n<p>The best coaches stay curious, open, and humble. They\u2019re also real people, not robots <img src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f609.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude09\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> Don\u2019t be afraid to share behind the scenes and the unique things that make you YOU.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/new-program-healing-code\/lab-testing\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-176754 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-176754\" src=\"https:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/lab-testing-1024x683-1.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Grab Your Free Health Coach Toolkit<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re fresh out of IHP2 or ready to finally organize your coaching systems, this toolkit gives you everything you need to get started.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get:<\/p>\n<p>Editable forms + client templates<\/p>\n<p>A professional discovery call script<\/p>\n<p>A done-for-you checklist for your website + content<\/p>\n<p>Tools to help you feel confident, polished, and ready to launch<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gina-harney.mykajabi.com\/health-coach-toolkit\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Click here to download the Free Health Coach Toolkit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Start building your business with confidence and spend more time doing what you love: helping others feel their best.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m here if I can help with any questions!
