Welcome to the For the Public Page
HCA is dedicated to empowering the public, employers and insurance companies to make informed and safe choices when selecting a Health Coach or Health & Nutrition Counselor. Our platform not only helps you understand the roles and responsibilities of health coaches but also provides access to a health coach verification registry.
This registry ensures that the practitioner you choose is equipped with the credentials, insurance, and training necessary to meet your needs. Each member listed in our registry has had their education verified, ensuring they have graduated from one of our approved institutions that maintain high standards of curriculum excellence. Moreover, all members adhere to a clear scope of practice and a strict code of ethics, promoting ethical and effective guidance in their work.
We recognize that the wellness industry is not regulated by the government, making it crucial for you to find a qualified and trustworthy individual to work with. Therefore, every member is also required to carry mandatory liability insurance and commit to ongoing professional development through continued education.
Our goal is to ensure you can confidently select a health professional who is not only capable and knowledgeable but also dedicated to upholding the highest standards of practice.

What We DoHCA balances the needs of practitioners and the holistic health industry to work consistently in the best interests of the client. Our goal is to ensure that practitioners establish and strengthen relationships of trust with clients while working in an environment that encourages safety, professionalism and continual education.
We strive to influence legislation and regulation that directly impacts Holistic Health Practitioners at both the federal and provincial government levels. HCA is at the forefront of consumer protection and promotes a model for the delivery of health coaching services that place the client's interest as the primary objective. Fundamental principles that HCA actively promotes fair and efficient access to counseling/coaching services in Canada include: > A standard of ethics and professionalism among all members of our organization via Health Coach Alliance Mandatory Training and Testing (HCAMTT) of key safety... > An efficient and effective system for Health Coaches that assists with minimizing the risk and incidence of liability, injury and practitioners stepping outside their Scope of Practice. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to fostering a trustworthy and effective environment for both practitioners and their clients. |
