Don't just take our word for it

The importance of understanding and the fruitful interplay between established science and the periphery made it an easy decision to stay. Learning with others made it even easier. Each step through the curriculum made it clear this would be essential, and echoed some of the most important things I had learned in life.

The program shaped a large part of my approach. It gave me concrete tools to work with, and put an emphasis on openness and curiosity. I learned how to ask open-ended questions and practice reflective listening, and how to balance the two. This made it easy to reach more depth and connection with clients than previously.

I'm going for my masters in counseling and HG gave me a taste of what to expect, and helped me feel more confident as a future provider. I feel more confident not just in helping people, but interacting with others in general. I don't struggle with imposter syndrome as much when I'm with peers.

Our Origin Story

In today's hyperconnected world, people aren't just wrestling with motivation or stress—they're struggling with how to thrive in an environment designed for distraction and disconnection.

Our partner, Healthy Gamer, has spent over 5 years running a global coaching program, supporting clients in 160 countries and helping over 20,000 people. Through that work, we've learned what truly creates change. One-size-fits-all methods fall short. It's personalized coaching—grounded in mental health, digital awareness, and real-life context—that sparks the "aha" moments that lead to transformation.

When technology influences how we think, feel, relate, and even rest, ignoring it means missing the full picture of what health really means today.

That’s why we launched HG Institute—to meet this moment. This new certification program is designed to equip coaches with practical tools at the intersection of mental health, behavior change, and technology—a space that’s no longer emerging, but essential. Not just as another specialty, but as a core component of effective modern coaching.
