Accreditation
The School of Inclusion Health Coaching curriculum is currently being reviewed by the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching. We expect to be accredited by our launch date in August 2023. Dr. Kroh is the Director of the M.A. and Certificate programs in Integrative Health & Wellbeing Coaching at the University of Minnesota which are both accredited. Thus, she is very familiar with the process.
