From Burned Out Sales Rep to Certified Health and Wellness Coach

So the number one benefit of joining this Nutritious Life Studios Program for me has been the community. The community, to me, is everything. I can lean on this community for support when I need it. I'm never practicing alone. I've always got a tribe of people who've got my back. Hi, I'm Gina Verkamp, and I am a health and wellness coach, and I live in Santa Barbara, California. So before I joined Nutritious Life Studio, I was selling dental supplies to dentists and dental hygienists. And I was driving all over California about 3000 miles a month, and I was just super burned out. I knew that that wasn't my passion any longer, and I really wanted to help people on a deeper level. So I enrolled in the Become a Nutrition Coach Program while I was still working full time, which is really great because you can do the lessons, you know, whenever it works for you and your schedule on your weekends and the evenings, you kind of go at your own pace. So it made a really easy for me to keep my full time job while learning a new craft. So the number one reason why I was a little hesitant to join the Nutritious Life Certification Program, is because I wasn't sure where I was going to get clients from. I mean, I knew I could be a good coach and I knew that I could help people, but I was wondering, like, where are these clients gonna come from? But the good news is that Keri Glassman, our instructor, helps us learn how to get clients in a way that's comfortable for us. And she gives us so much support in the business side of things. So not only do you learn how to be a good coach, but you learn how to get clients and how to market yourself, how to price your program, and basically how to run a business. So that was the one thing that really made me feel safe to join the program. Keri Glassman and her team are nothing short of amazing. I know that Keri is accessible for us because we have live sessions with her each week. She answers emails. She's a wealth of information. And whenever I need support from the team, they are so responsive. I don't have to wait a week for an answer. They answer right away, and they always check in every now and then. We haven't heard from you in a while. What's going on? And I'm like, oh, my gosh, they're reaching out to me. This is so great. You know, even long after I've graduated I am still part of the community, and I feel like that is the best thing to keep me going and keep me growing my business. So if you are sitting on the fence and thinking about joining Nutritious Life studio, but you're not quite sure, I would say, have a talk with the enrollment team. They've graduated from the program. They can answer any questions that you have, and they can share their own experience about growing their business. That is the best way I have found to be able to see myself. Like, do I fit into this? And everybody's different, you know, everybody has different reasons for joining, so just talk to them. It's free, so why not?
