CERTIFIED FINANCIAL WELLNESS COACH (CFWC™)

The concept of a Certified Financial Wellness Coach (CFWC™) may seem intuitive. However, financial and wellness professionals have historically been siloed and only recently begun integrating their prospective disciplines into one holistic concept. Through a partnership with global wellness coaching giant Real Balance Global Wellness1, the Foundation for Financial Wellness CFWC™ training bridges the gap between these disciplines, creating a professional financial wellness standard with life-altering learnings to integrate into their practices.

The purpose of the Certified Financial Wellness Coach (CFWC™) training is to position women and men in the financial and wellness marketplace in a place to expand their financial wellness understanding, including exposure to deepened coaching skills and thought-provoking tools to support their clients. The CFWC™ requires an investment of $995 and takes 10+ hours to complete.

Our CFWC™ training helps coaching professionals address the financial hurdles that stand in the way of their client's aspirations and goals surrounding financial wellness.
