3 Ways to Become Healthcare Consultant
Across the globe, people are becoming more and
more aware of how a healthy diet, regular
exercise, and stress reduction techniques can
increase their personal wellness. A health and
wellness consultant is a professional who assists
individuals in achieving and maintaining optimum
wellness by advising them about healthy diets and
exercise, as well as methods to cope with stress.
Becoming a health and wellness consultant could
offer a rewarding business opportunity.

Getting Educated
Learn about the career. Before going down the
career path towards becoming a wellness
consultant, you should get a sense of what the
career entails. A health and wellness consultant
is a diverse career with a variety of
specializations and focuses.
There are a variety of specializations in health
and wellness consulting. Some people focus on
homeopathic, natural lifestyle changes. Others
focus on fitness and exercise. Others focus
mainly on nutrition. The specializations you
choose later in your career will depend on your
individual interests and expertise
5
Get Started in High School
If you're interested in becoming a health and
wellness consultant, your path should begin in
high school. Develop a strong interest in fitness
and health early on. Enroll in health classes in
high school. In addition to the regular PE
requirements, see if your high school offers any
electives on nutrition or fitness.
Take summer and after school jobs that focus on
fitness, nutrition, and overall well being. Work
at a yoga studio or health food clinic.
Lifeguard. Coach little league. Work at a summer
camp.

Choose The Right Undergraduate Program For Your
Goals
There is not a standard educational path to
become a health and wellness consultant. The
level of education you need will depend on your
specific goals, but you should start tailoring
your education towards health and wellness during
your undergraduate years.
Biology, health sciences, kinesiology, and
nutrition are majors you may want to consider if
you want to be a health and wellness consultant.
As the career itself is often multifaceted, it
might be a good idea to double major. 
7
Consider Furthering Your Education
Yet again, there is no set educational path to
becoming a health and wellness consultant. You do
not necessarily need more than an undergraduate
degree, but furthering your education beyond a
bachelor's degree could help you in the job
market. 
Some schools offer 2 to 3 year master's degrees
focusing in health that can prepare you for a
career in health and wellness consulting.
University of Michigan, for example, offers a
program in health informatics that teaches you
how to work with and inform the general public
about the importance of fitness, nutrition, and
overall well being. This degree path, or a
similar program, could provide you a good
foundation for a career in health and wellness
consulting
8
Consider Licensure And Certification
Unlike like becoming a real estate agent or
accountant, there is no all encompassing license
of exam for health and wellness consultants. The
requirements for the career vary by state, field,
and specialization.
Do your research before committing to any single
program. See what kind of training is offered. A
program with a lot of hands on work may reflect
higher on you in the job market as opposed to an
online program, for example. However, an online
program may also be cheaper and shorter. Weigh
the pros and cons of each program you research
9
Learn How To Maintain Any Certification And
Licenses
Certifications and licenses generally come with a
set expiration date. Make sure you understand
when your license expires and what you can do to
renew it. For most programs, you'll have to take
additional coursework and seminars once a year to
maintain your license.
10
Finding Work
A healthcare and wellness consultant can work
independently, but it might be difficult to set
up your own practice right away. A variety of
institutions hire consultants regularly. Try
looking for work at some of the following places

• Fitness and Wellness Center
• Medical Center
• Private Practice
• Yoga Studio
• Day spa
• Natural food store
• Restaurant
• Corporation
• School

11
Work On Your Resume
In order to land a good job, you need to work on
your resume. Start drafting your resume as you
prepare for your job search

• A resume should have a consistent format
  throughout.
• You should also use resume "buzzwords." These are
  impressive words to make your work experience
  sound as impressive as possible.

• Only list relevant experience to the job you're
  looking for. For a health and wellness
  consultant, stick to experience related to
  health, fitness, nutrition, and other aspects of
  health and well being.

12
Practice Good Interview Skills
Good interview skills are a must have when
you're on the job hunt. Make sure you practice
interview skills while sending out your resume so
you'll be prepared when an interview offer
arrives.
Show up about 5 minutes before the interview
time. Make sure you're dressed in professional
attire. If you're unsure of the company wardrobe,
it's better to overdress than to underdress
Always prepare for an interview. You should read
up about the company online ahead of time and
have a sense of its philosophy, ethics, and goals.
