These factors can keep individuals from getting the assistance they need, but not anymore. Nothing has to stand in the way of your well-being. HatchPath makes coaching accessible to everyone.

Usability

You’ll wonder how you ever functioned before HatchPath. We’ve reinvented the health care concept with our easy-to-use platform and user-friendly interface.

Sign up

We know long-winded paperwork and confusing practices are common deterrents from putting your wellness first, which is why we made signing up as easy as 1, 2, 3 – literally.
As a client, you’ll enter basic information such as:
  • Name
  • Date of birth
  • Location / Timezone
You’ll complete your profile with:
  • Photo
  • Description of yourself

Create a profile

Your profile will be how health coaches first see you on the HatchPath platform. Your brief personal narrative will include your pangs, goals, what you’re looking for, etc.
If you’re feeling stuck describing why you’re here, try asking yourself:
  • What do you want your life to look like?
  • What makes you feel the most authentically you?
While this information is pertinent, don’t let it slow you down or hold you back from completing the sign-up. It’s okay if it’s not perfect, many problems can be difficult to articulate. We’ll ensure the right health coaches find you.
Coaching is all about trust, and in order to lay down a strong foundation, a substantial sense of connection must be established. Each element of a HatchPath coach profile is designed to highlight their expertise while edifying who they are as a person by highlighting their professional experience and values. These details are included specifically with clients like you in mind. We help weed out all of the ill-fitting matches so you’re only left with dedicated health coaches that fit your every need.

Tags

The use of tags helps HatchPath connect clients to coaches and vice versa – our little matchmaking service.
Tag your profile (as well as posted jobs) with keywords that align with your challenges, goals, and the guidance you’re seeking. These filters will impact how you see the HatchPath marketplace, created just for you and your purpose in mind.
For example, if you find yourself struggling with impulsive spending above all else, coaches who specialize in conquering those habits will find your job postings based on shared tags, i.e. impulsivity, poor habits. If you feel as if anxiety is leading your life, you would tag your profile with anxiety.
Examples of tags:
Sleepanxietystucknutritionwomen’s healthflying fearlack of motivationperformance
The content, health coaches, and programs you then browse on HatchPath will relate to your troubles.
Clients can add unlimited tags of their own as well as skim through our pre-existing list. Coaches follow the same structure so the ease of locating profiles is synonymous. Our tagging system makes it easy for the right coaches to find you based on their skills and your goals. You can also find coaches via blog content they publish. Coming across a health coach with a comprehensive understanding and perspective you find inspiring could mean they’re a superior match for you.

Jobs

A job is your number one tool on HatchPath. It’s how you find the right coach, or they find you. Forget about reading through hundreds of health coaches’ websites, scrolling through testimonials, and weighing 2-star reviews against a tight budget. HatchPath’s structure puts you in the driver’s seat. It is your health, after all.

What is a job?

Just as coaches create programs that clients can peruse, clients can post “jobs” that detail the guidance they’re looking to receive. This is your way of asking for help, and opening the doors for HatchPath coaches to engage and detail how they plan to help you lead a life of positive well-being.
You’ll begin receiving applications from qualified candidates. If you’re impressed with an application, you can open up a dialogue, and any questions either of have can be addressed.

Posting a job

Steps a client needs to post a job
Your job posting will include:

1

This is what will first attract coaches to your listing. Try to be straightforward and represent what you’re looking for as best you can in a few words.

For example, if you are searching for a coach to help you overcome a chronic illness that you have been dealing with for decades, then your title may be as simple as, “Chronic Illness Coach for long term illness.”

2
Description

Here you will tell coaches a bit about yourself and detail what areas you need help with. The more detail that you provide, the better your chances of finding the right coach are going to be.

3
Budget

At HatchPath, you set your own prices. Whether you have $100 or $1,000 set aside for your health, a health coach can help. Set a budget that works for you. You can always come back and change it.

Tags

Tags are critical to being visible on the HatchPath platform. You’ll use keywords to describe what you are looking for in a coach, what you want to achieve, and what you may be struggling with.

Communicate

Our user-friendly messaging platform makes for an easy recruiting procedure and seamless interactions with your coach.When you find a coach that you think is the right fit for you, you’ll accept them and their application will transfer to an enrollment. Once you’ve reached that step, you can chat with them directly through our HatchPath chat integration. You can converse further and ask any questions regarding the planned wellness program that may not have been included in the application before booking a session, as when coaches move into enrollment the chat feature is activated.

Process

Programs are the means that health coaches use in order to offer their services through HatchPath. It allows them to lay out their offerings in an easy-to-consume manner.Once you have posted your job to our marketplace, coaches will begin applying with custom programs that are tailored to your needs. HatchPath programs can range anywhere from one 30-minute session to indefinite weekly sessions.

Select your coach

You’ll never miss a stand-out application thanks to our automatic notifications. You’ll receive an update whenever a coach applies to your job and you can then easily review their application and proposed program.
As a client, you must initiate the conversation with an applicant via our messaging portal. If you have any questions for the coach, feel free to begin a dialogue and the chat function will be enabled. Asking the right questions brings you one step closer to hiring your new coach.

Bids

The applications you receive will also include bids. If there are experienced coaches that think they can offer you a more beneficial program at a higher price, they’ll note in their application that their services are slightly above your budget.If a more novice coach is looking to grow their practice, they may bid far below your budget. If cost is a prominent concern of yours, then that could expand your applicant pool greatly.
Keep in mind that all HatchPath coaches have been deeply vetted by our skilled onboarding team. Every coach is certified with relevant experience and an exceptional drive to help people.
It’s just a price tag. Just because a coach may be less experienced in a certain field doesn’t mean they can’t be the perfect professional to guide you towards a life of bliss.

This structure protects you in the off chance that you’d like to cancel your coaching program or a session gets unexpectedly interrupted.

Once a coach approves your desired time, they’ll confirm the session and it will be locked into the calendar.
