Wholistic Wellness™ is the practice of returning to our natural state of health by adopting a lifestyle that supports the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive

Wholistic Wellness Coaching™ is the method of providing strategic, informational, and motivational support in assisting a person to achieve their Wholistic Wellness™goals.

To be eligible for enrolling in STORRIE Institute™ you must be a certified coach or licensed medical professional showing proof of active licenses in good standing, including students, interns and residents. By way of example, these include holders of MD, DO, DC, NP, ND, DDS, DPM, OD, OT, PT, RPh, PharmD, DPT, PA, LAc, DOM, RD, BS in nursing. You are also eligible if you are a wellness practitioner, holistic professional, or coach, and you are certified in your area of expertise and in good standing with the certification.

When you practice Wholistic Wellness™, you are operating outside of any clinical designations you have attained in the past, and instead, you are operating under the legal umbrella of coaching, which does not require your license to practice. You are able to see “clients” (not patients) independently without jeopardizing your career or other jobs. You are working as a health coach.

I understand your concerns. You’ve worked long and hard for your clinical designations. Think of Wholistic Wellness Coaching™ as a way to accelerate your client’s results. It is additional training that supplements your education and experience, and it gives you the option to increase your impact outside of the traditional avenues that were available to you in the past. You can accept payment through your private wellness practice, enjoy additional tax benefits, and change lives in a whole new way. Getting certified as a Certified STORRIE Wellness Coach™ adds more letters after your name and affords you more options for care.

STORRIE Method™ is a simple, step-by-step approach to building a highly profitable private, virtual wellness practice from scratch, no matter what you choose for your desired area of focus.

When you learn STORRIE Method™, you will learn: 

• Identify your niche within the field of Wholistic Wellness Coaching™
• Register your wellness practice as a business entity
• Design your wellness programs and intake process
• Brand yourself and your practice with your foundation of credibility
• Learn how to do client consults + sell your coaching services
• Learn how to use functional medicine labs and supplement companies
• Prepare to take client payments and set appointments
• Go to market and launch your virtual practice

No. The purpose of STORRIE Method™ is to give you the ability to monetize your health and wellness skills. The good news is: You already have skills you can monetize today. We’ll show you how you can use your experience and expertise to create new “Wholistic Wellness Coaching™” services today, while introducing you to new options you may have never even heard of.

Clinical vs. Non-Clinical Training

When we teach new skills, we delineate them as “non-clinical” in nature, even though they may have similarities to clinical skills you’ve practiced in the past.

Clinical skills are for the purpose of testing, diagnosing, and treating disease states. Our non-clinical approach takes a holistic, whole-body perspective to identify and correct the root cause of the client’s discomfort. We also help clients to achieve health goals by providing them with lifestyle strategies, information, and motivation.

Semester 2 begins with one of the most important functional medicine lab tests available, the Trace Elements - Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). This test is one of the easiest to perform, understand, and interpret. It provides a variety of insights that can be shared with clients to achieve their health and wellness goals. Starting with just one test in Semester 2 gives you a digestible way to get started offering 3rd party functional medicine lab testing, without getting “in the weeds” learning multiple tests at once. With this one test, you’ll be able to launch your services with confidence. At the end of Semester 2, we’ll also cover an introduction to the other functional medicine tests that will be covered in Semester 3.

Semester 3 will contain the majority of your clinical curriculum. We’ll cover many more functional medicine lab tests, like stool and hormone testing, and you’ll be able to pick and choose the tests that are relevant to your zone of genius and area of focus. By limiting our focus to a step-by-step approach, we can minimize your overwhelm and maximize learning.

Great question! Our clinicians need to learn a whole new world of entrepreneurship, new clinical skills, business practices, client management, and financial literacy. We break it down into three distinct phases for 3 reasons:

1. To minimize overwhelm - The worst thing we can do is to throw too much information at you and paralyze your success. We give you the next best thing to focus on at each step in your journey.
2. To support the learning process - We don’t want you to leave with a bunch of new ideas. We want you to be capable of practicing Wholistic Wellness Coaching™. That requires practice, Q&A. So we’ve broken the learning into 3 parts.
3. To make smaller commitments over time - We like to start with a small commitment of 90 days so you enjoy the process of discovery and have time to fall in love with an area of focus, without feeling the pressure of having to make any big decisions right away. Should you decide Wholistic Wellness Coaching™ is not for you, you’ll have been exposed to a myriad of tools and resources that will make your own life better. However, if you decide you’ll be carving a new path for yourself in Wholistic Wellness Coaching™, you can make a new commitment at that point on your next step toward certification.

In general, Semesters 1, 2, and 3 must be completed in order to preserve the integrity of our certification process. Once you enroll in STORRIE Method™, you will see an option to fast-track to Semester 2 and 3, should those options be appropriate for you. Even if you fast-track and complete the semesters at an accelerated rate, you will still enroll in all 3 semesters if you desire certification.

If you’re reading this page, your time is incredibly valuable - and we bet you feel like you have no more to give. However, in order to step into a future where you work less, spend more time with your family, and have the time and financial freedom you deserve, something’s got to give. 

That’s why in Semester 1: STORRIE Method™, we cover time management and CEO Schedule to show you how to balance your schedule and add in study time without compromising your career or family. You’ll also have access to the materials in STORRIE Method™ for an entire year, so if you find you need to work through the materials at a slower pace, you can do so without worry.

STORRIE Institute™ was created with the fundamental belief that in order for real change to happen in the field of health & wellness, the flow of financial resources has to support its transformation.

That’s why STORRIE Institute™ focuses on ensuring that medical professionals, clinicians, wellness practitioners, holistic professionals, and coaches are equipped with the capability to create financially viable, highly profitable private wellness practices. This requires some simple business training.

No other holistic health or wellness coach training provides this level of detailed support and guidance on how to monetize your skills. Since most health professionals don’t have access to this curriculum, they’re not able to support themselves financially in pursuing more natural health & wellness fields. We’re changing the game there. Our students learn to write their own paycheck and earn whatever they want in their own private practice.

When you enroll in STORRIE Method™, you receive access to the program right away and you will begin the 3 month live experience from the date of enrollment. You’ll receive information both inside the membership area and via email about upcoming onboarding, orientation, implementation calls, and curriculum release dates. You will also retain access to the materials for 12 months.

You can start your practice in as little as 90 days. Most of our students begin as soon as they have successfully completed STORRIE Method™ since we show them how to offer services based on their current/existing licenses and certifications. Others wait to launch their practice until after they are fully certified. Technically, you can start practicing immediately. We can walk you through your options after enrollment.

If you take all 3 semesters consecutively, you can graduate in as little as 12 months. Graduates may choose to remain in our alumni membership in STORRIE Institute™ and continue being part of our community.

STORRIE Institute™ offers the same level of certification as other leading functional medicine programs in the country. Your certification is not an endorsement of quality, but rather a statement that you have completed certain training requirements. For the official definition of “Certified", please refer to the official STORRIE Institute™ Agreement.

Certification is good for 3 years, which includes the purchase of a triennial content license.

Every three years from the date of certification, you pay a renewal fee. If you do not renew the content license, the certification will lapse and will be revoked at the end of the term of the license. The certification requires that the participant maintains adequate professional liability and coaching insurance in their Wholistic Wellness Coaching™ practices. 

By enrolling in STORRIE Institute™, you acknowledge that no representation has been made concerning the accreditation of the Certified Wholistic Wellness Coach™ Certification Program. It is not a regionally or nationally accredited program and has not been accredited by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or any other designated agency or accrediting body recognized by the United States Department of Education. We are in the process of applying for the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).

STORRIE Institute™ offers two certifications: Certified STORRIE Wellness Coach™ and Certified STORRIE Consultant™. Upon receiving your certification, you can add CSWC or CSC to your title, respectively. 

We are in the process of applying for the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).  Once we receive the approval, STORRIE Institute™ will provide continuing education credits.
