FAQ

Am I a Fit for YHC?

Do you want to have a powerful breakthrough in your wellness career? Breaththroughs come from a better structure to guide a truly transformative and unique journey – that only you can guide. Running your career with this structure guarantees your clients will be very committed to working with you. You’ll also be able to truly uplevel your wellness lifestyle. Most YHC’s continually break their own income glass ceilings.

Who will join you in the YHC course:

  • Holistic Practitioners
  • Yoga Teachers
  • Nurses
  • Mental Health Therapists
  • Bodyworkers
  • Physical Therapists
  • Personal Trainers
  • Energy Healers
  • Doctors
  • Physician Assistants

If you are established as a wellness professional, we can help you scale. If you are not yet established, meaning you find it difficult to consistently attract well-paying clients, we guide you into a faster path to a committed clientele and career success.

How does YHC work?

Only you can lead the journey you are meant to lead. We’ll guide you to you’ll pull together your unique transformational journey from all of your training and life experience. You’ll add to your professional experience with habit evolution based on the circadian rhythm here on planet Earth. You’ll see clearly that people need better habits to transform how they feel.

Then, we’ll guide you to get your first group off the ground. We do a LOT of business training. Most wellness pros need not to get over their fear of success – they need to overcome their fear of sales. We’ll get you over that hump.

YHC is based on three components:

  1. Leading a Transformational Journey
  2. Habit Evolution + Circadian Rhythm Habits
  3. Dynamic Groups + Smarter Structures

Leading a journey is different than a membership model. Membership models have a lot of churn. Churn is where you add members each month, but members also leave each month. The churn model works great for other businesses – but doesn’t work well for wellness pros who want a wellness lifestyle.

Wellness pros, we find, want committed clients. We want to lead all the way through the transformation. And we want to be well paid for our abilities. That is the basis of YHC. We get you there.

Experiential Learning
The YHC program is based on action-oriented learning. Theory is awesome but action separates those who succeed from those who just add another certificate to their wall. To become Certified you will be guided to run a successful Pilot Program with your members, and add new members throughout your first year of training.

The more you invest your attention in YHC the faster you’ll earn a return on your investment.
Most new members wonder how they’ll fit YHC into their already busy lives. Forcing function is the answer. More efficient activities force less efficient activity out of your life, thus driving increasing functionality. Other activities will give way in ways that you can and can’t predict before you start.

If YHC seems like a good fit – don’t worry about it ever being the right time. YHC will force less aligned, less fruitful activities out of your life. The right time is when you want a results-based scalable career and break through impact and income ceilings, so you can live your best life.
