Wellness Legal Essentials Course
This course has been approved by NBHWC for 5 CEUs and by NASM/AFAA for .6 CEUs. This course is ideal for new and experienced wellness practitioners who want to strengthen their understanding of wellness law and protect their practices while maintaining client trust and ethical standards. Drawing from the book Quick & Easy Wellness Law, the course addresses key legal issues that arise in unlicensed wellness practice, including scope of practice, the use of lab testing, supplement recommendations, telehealth delivery, and business structuring. Wellness practitioners such as health coaches, personal trainers, energy healers, and others will learn how to distinguish between legally permissible wellness services and regulated healthcare activities such as diagnosing or treating medical conditions. The course also outlines strategies to reduce liability, such as using client agreements, forming LLCs, and avoiding misleading claims. Participants will engage with real-world legal scenarios and apply ethical frameworks. Wellness practitioners will finish the course with a clearer understanding of their legal boundaries and enhanced confidence in offering services that support client well-being without overstepping professional limits.
