Keeping the Public Safe

Practitioner Registry Look Up

Welcome to the For the Public Page

This section of the website is to help the general public make safe choices, understand what Health Coaches and Health & Nutrition Counselors do, and have access to a health coach verification registry to ensure who you choose to work with is armed with the credentials, insurance and training you deserve to have.  In an industry that is not regulated by the government, it is of utmost importance to ensure you find a qualified person to work with.  Here we will help you do that.

What We Do

HCA 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.
