Our Story: The Genesis of Evexia
A Legacy of Wellness
Wellnesscoaches.org has roots going back to 2011, with our education-specific division Evexia being developed later to create training programs for corporate coaches. During this period of growth for our knowledge and expertise, we established solid partnerships with Human Resource Managers at organizations who value employee health and wellness.
In the past 5 years, we saw a shift in requests to develop courses for other continuing education providers online. This has resulted in a bright collection of professionals who continue to evolve by studying health, wellness, and fitness programs from around the globe—from the ground up.
We see our evolution as the result of the technology used for the online delivery of coach training, paired with content inspired by a vision to create an exceptional student experience.
Wellnesscoaches proudly presents Evexia, the result of our very best resources and coach training systems. We can’t wait for you to join our club of professionals!

Our Vision For Our Coach Training Programs
Our original program is based on over ten years of research and implementation. We’ve pored over so many Coaching programs – some believed to be the gold standard or benchmarks in the Coaching industry – but we saw something missing in each of them. Some of the best Coach training programs were full of gaps required for complete coach training solutions. What we saw was simply not serving the needs of coaches. We wanted to do better than that, we honestly believe you deserve more than that. This means your client gets your very best because you have invested the time to learn how to be part of an enlightened group – Certified Wellness Coaches!

The wellnesscoaches.org Advantage
Beyond Physical Training
You might be a Personal Trainer. Physical health is vital to wellness, so it makes sense to brand yourself as a Wellness Coach. But are you really a full-fledged, formally trained Certified Wellness Coach? Should you be? What are the benefits to getting certified as a Wellness Coach?
Trainers have, in fact, given the wellness field some great lessons on how to assess clients. They are masters in this area, especially in terms of biometric screening. But how much better could a Trainer be if they could also assess their client for their **stage of readiness to make a change**? Or if they could learn precisely what their client’s vision entails?
But what if you’re a Certified Wellness Coach – yet you have no background in physical aspects of wellness, like the Personal Fitness Trainer – who you admire with multiple certifications? Does being a fitness expert make you a better Wellness Coach? Maybe, but if you’re not, that is okay. We have both scenarios covered.
You see, we have done a full audit of Wellness Coach training programs that are widely and commonly available currently. This may be what brought you here (if it wasn’t by word of mouth referral from one of our highly esteemed graduates!).
What we found was that there were some outstanding programs out there, but could not find ONE that met all the criteria for truly informing a coach in training. Programs that focus on positive behavior psychology are strong contenders – until you realize that there is nothing provided in terms of physical wellness being addressed. Even more programs were simply physical training, with no psychological anchoring whatsoever.
This is why our program offers both and is an example of how we’ve looked at what is out there, and wanted to be better.
