How Do I Find Clients for the Level 2 Practicum?
Yes, you'll find practice clients for the Practicum's 60 coaching hours — but not alone. INCA provides a client database, pairings, and step-by-step guidance.
You find your clients — with real support
As part of Level 2: Practicum, you'll complete 60 supervised coaching hours with practice clients. Yes, you identify your own clients — but you won't do it alone. By the time you finish Foundations, you'll have the skills, confidence, and communication tools to begin coaching, and finding clients becomes an empowering part of your development.
How INCA helps you find clients
- Step-by-step guidance on ethical client outreach and onboarding
- Practicum students are paired with Foundations students for structured practice and feedback
- Access to INCA's exclusive Client Database, connecting you with people seeking coaching from Nurse Coaches in training
Many students fill two of their required client slots through INCA's exclusive Client Database and by coaching Foundations students. INCA also supports you in finding your own clients — a valuable part of your professional development.
Where students commonly find additional clients
- Friends, family members, and colleagues recommending your coaching to their contacts
- Professional or community networks
- Wellness-focused groups and organizations
- Online outreach aligned with program guidance
How sessions are conducted
Coaching sessions may take place in person, by phone, or online through a secure platform. We also encourage you to receive coaching yourself — experiencing the client side builds empathy and insight. Throughout the Practicum, Faculty Mentors provide guidance, feedback, and supervision so finding and coaching clients becomes a confidence-building experience, not a barrier.
