    Tune in to this episode to hear Natalie share her passion for coaching children and families and how she intends to use her specialized training and resources to make a greater impact.“I chose the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute because of the focus on Families and Pregnancy. There is no other training out there like this! I was already a certified health coach but wanted to work with these specific populations. It gave me specific tools and training so I could confidently start working with families and new moms. I also appreciated the number of resources that came with the training, so I could start coaching immediately upon course completion without having to create everything from scratch, from the assessments to resources for the clients. Another bonus is being a part of the DSWI coaching network, as a coach working on my own, it is so valuable to be able to reach out to other coaches.” - Natalie Donohoo NBC-HWC, MCHCConnect with Natalie:Email:   natalie@bettertogetheridaho.comWebsite:  www.bettertogetheridaho.com/familycoachingFacebook:  facebook.com/wearebettertogetheridahoInstagram:  instagram.com/wearebettertogetheridaho
