How to Use Educational Workshops to Grow Your Health Coaching Business

Why Workshops Are a Game-Changer for Health Coaches

If you want to grow your audience, show off your expertise, and connect with potential clients in a real way — hosting an educational workshop might just be your secret weapon.

Workshops let people experience your teaching style and personality before they ever sign up for a package. They’re interactive, they build trust faster than a social media post, and they make you the go-to person in the room (or Zoom).

And here’s the best part: once you create a workshop, it’s yours to reuse over and over again — in person, virtually, for group programs, or even as a paid standalone offer.

Step 1: Pick a Topic That Sells (and Lights You Up)

The best workshops solve a problem your audience is already looking for help with — but they also have to be something you genuinely enjoy teaching.

Some client-magnet topics I’ve seen work again and again:

• How to Balance Your Blood Sugar for All-Day Energy

• Gut Health 101: Simple Steps for Better Digestion

• Mineral Balance for Stress & Energy

• The Plate Method for Building Balanced Meals

• Healthy Meal Planning Made Easy

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t overcomplicate it — start with a topic you already teach in 1:1 sessions and simply reframe it for a group. That’s exactly what I did with my own workshop templates.

Step 2: Structure It So They Stay Engaged

A great workshop keeps people leaning in, not checking their phone. The simplest structure is often the best:

1. Hook → Grab attention with a story, stat, or surprising fact.

2. Education → Teach 3–5 main points they can easily digest.

3. Action Steps → Give them 1–2 quick wins to implement right away.

4. Call to Action → Invite them to work with you, join a program, or grab your freebie.

Here’s where I make your life easier: my done-for-you Canva presentation decks already have this flow built in, so you can skip the late-night slide formatting and focus on delivering your message.

Step 3: Make It Visual + Memorable

Visuals aren’t just “nice to have” — they’re the difference between someone zoning out halfway through and someone leaving excited to work with you.

Use slides to:

• Break down complex concepts (hello, minerals)

• Keep the energy flowing

• Give people something to refer back to later

💡 Bonus: Pair your slides with a printable handout or mini workbook so participants can take notes, stay engaged, and walk away with something tangible. These are included with all my presentation decks!

Step 4: Get People in the (Virtual) Room

You can have the most incredible workshop in the world, but if no one knows about it…

Try promoting your workshop by:

• Sharing sneak peeks on social media (Reels, carousels, countdown posts)

• Sending 2–3 reminder emails to your list

• Partnering locally with gyms, yoga studios, chiropractors, natural food stores, local mom groups or networking groups

• Posting inside Facebook groups where your ideal clients hang out

• Tapping into existing communities — I’ve had great success presenting to local mom groups and business networking groups. They’re often looking for guest speakers, and these smaller, more personal settings can be amazing for building connections and trust.

Speaking to Local Mom Groups Opened New Doors for My Business

This was me sharing the importance of mineral balance with a room full of pregnant and postpartum moms in Colorado—a reminder that in-person presentations can be one of the most powerful ways to connect and grow.

Step 5: Repurpose Like a Pro

One of my favorite things about workshops? They’re a content goldmine.

You can:

• Turn the slides into a mini-course

• Break content into Instagram carousels or Reels

• Use excerpts in your emails

• Offer the recording as a paid evergreen product

When you start with a well-designed presentation deck, repurposing is effortless — you’ve already got the visuals, structure, and key points ready to go.

Wrapping Up

Workshops aren’t just a way to get new eyes on your business — they’re a long-term asset you can use again and again. With the right topic, structure, and visuals, they can bring in leads, clients, and community growth without burning you out.
