Health Coach Discovery Questionnaire

Transform Your Health Coaching Practice with a Comprehensive Discovery Form

Finding the right clients and understanding their unique health journey starts with asking the right questions. This Health Coach Discovery Questionnaire is designed to help health coaches, wellness practitioners, and nutritionists gather essential information during the discovery phase—so you can assess client fit, identify core challenges, and design personalized coaching programs that create real, lasting change.

Why Health Coaches Need a Structured Discovery Process

As a health coach, your discovery call is more than just an introduction—it's your opportunity to understand where a potential client is right now, what's holding them back, and whether you're the right fit to support their wellness journey. A well-structured discovery questionnaire helps you:

• Gather health history and current challenges before your call, so you can spend consultation time on solutions rather than data collection
• Assess readiness for change and identify clients who are truly committed to sustainable lifestyle transformation
• Understand lifestyle patterns around energy, sleep, stress, nutrition, and movement that impact overall wellbeing
• Screen for potential contraindications or situations that require medical clearance before coaching begins
• Demonstrate professionalism and show prospective clients that you take a thorough, personalized approach to wellness

This template collects everything you need—from basic health background and medications to daily energy patterns, stress levels, sleep quality, nutrition habits, and motivation for change—in one streamlined, professional form that respects your client's time while giving you deep insights.

Perfect for Health Coaches, Nutritionists, and Wellness Practitioners

Whether you're a certified health coach, holistic nutritionist, wellness consultant, or lifestyle medicine practitioner, this discovery form adapts to your unique coaching methodology. Use it for:

• One-on-one coaching discovery calls to qualify prospects and prepare for meaningful consultations
• Group program applications to understand participant needs and tailor curriculum accordingly
• Corporate wellness assessments for workplace health initiatives and employee wellbeing programs
• Specialized coaching niches including stress management, weight wellness, digestive health, energy optimization, or sleep improvement

The form covers all the essential wellness domains—nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, mindset, support systems, and readiness for change—giving you a 360-degree view of your potential client's current state and health goals.

• Integrate with your calendar to let qualified prospects book a discovery call immediately after submitting the form
• Connect to your CRM or email platform like HubSpot, Mailchimp, or ConvertKit to automatically nurture leads and track your coaching pipeline
• Automate follow-up with personalized confirmation emails that include next steps, prep materials, or a welcome video

And because every submission is securely stored and easily searchable, you can review client responses before your discovery call, take notes during the conversation, and refer back to their original answers as you design their coaching program.
