The Best AI Tools for Wellness Coaches (and How to Use Them in Your First 90 Days)

2 July

So you’ve taken the leap and decided to start your wellness coaching business…or perhaps you’ve started and you’re in the growth stage — yay, you!

You're passionate, you’re certified, and you're ready to help people feel better in their bodies and in their lives.

But the tech side?

The marketing, scheduling, content creation, email list building, and... what the heck is a sales funnel?!

It’s enough to make any new coach want to curl up with a magnesium mocktail and binge a Crime Junkie podcast instead of posting on Instagram.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t need to do (or know) all the things right away.
You just need the right tools—especially the ones powered by AI—to give you a head start.

In this blog, I’m breaking down the most helpful, beginner-friendly AI tools for wellness coaches, what they actually do, and exactly when to use them in your first 90 days in business.

Let’s go!

Your First 90 Days:

What to Focus On and When

Here’s a breakdown of what tools to use and what to focus on in each phase of your coaching biz:

PHASE 1: FOUNDATION (Days 1–30)

Set up your business basics, create a mini-offer, and a freebie to begin building your email list.
→ Use: ChatGPT, Canva, Durable, The Kit or Flodesk, Notion

PHASE 2: LAUNCH & LEAD GEN (Days 31–60)

Launch your first offer, grow your email list, and book discovery calls.
→ Use: The Kit or FloDesk, ChatGPT or Jasper, Calendly, Zapier, Otter.ai

PHASE 3: BUILD + REPEAT (Days 61–90+)

Deliver, repurpose, and prep for scalable systems or offers.
→ Use: Descript or InVideo, ManyChat, Mini Course Generator, GrammarlyGO, ClickUp AI

The BIGGEST thing here is to NOT try to use and learn all of these tools. Start smart and likely slow and build as you need to.

Starting with ChatGPT is definitely where I recommend you start and get really proficient in using it so it sounds like YOU and can free up so much of your time, particularly in the content creation area.

Your Next Smart Move

You don’t need to become an AI expert to run a successful coaching business.

I’m in my 8th year of business—and honestly? I only started using AI tools in the last couple of years. But wow…I wish these tools existed when I first started out!

Because when you know which tools to lean on (and how to use them to support your business—not overwhelm it), everything gets easier: your content, your systems, your client attraction, your energy.

So if you're just getting started, pick 1 - 2 tools from this list—maybe something to help you launch a mini-offer or build your email list, as these are your most important business tasks. Start small. Build momentum. Let the tech do the heavy lifting so you can focus on coaching, connecting, and changing lives.

And if you're thinking, “Cool, but how do I actually get ChatGPT to sound like me?”—I’ve got the perfect next step.
