Mission

At Shape Health, our mission is to empower every person to unlock their potential—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We believe that health is not just about avoiding illness, but about building energy, confidence, and focus to live life fully. By blending personal coaching, nutrition guidance, and talk therapy, we make preventive health simple, personal, and accessible. We exist to help people become the best version of themselves, one step, one habit, and one breakthrough at a time.

The Role

At Shape Health, being a coach isn’t about handing out quick fixes—it’s about guiding people back to the foundations of true health. You’ll help members reclaim energy, focus, and vitality by addressing what really matters: how they eat, how they move, how they rest, and how they manage stress.

This role is about connection and impact. You’ll meet members where they are and walk alongside them as they build new habits and discover their own power to heal and thrive.

Be a catalyst for change—help each person rewrite their health story one step at a time. Backed by a team of medical providers, therapists, and community programs, you’ll be at the center of our mission: creating real transformation through trust, accountability, and human connection.
