Woody Haiken, NCTMB, CPC, ELI-MP

Woody founded The Growing Practice to provide coaching and business-building services to other health and wellness professionals. He utilized Social Media as his main marketing platform, and was met with extraordinary success. He employed methods that he developed which enabled him to go from zero to over 1000 followers within weeks. After studying the Social Media utilization of many businesses, he realized that most are not using it either effectively, or to its fullest potential. It is because of this that The Growing Practice has expanded from just coaching to providing a full range of both Social Media and business services.

He received his coaching training through the the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), and then went on to receive Book Yourself Solid training from Michael Port and also became a Get Clients Now!™ certified facilitator. Woody has been trained in Social Media Management by Kate Buck Jr, and is licensed through her Let’s Get Social program. Prior to entering the wellness and coaching professions, he was a professional graphic artist for 27 years, and owned two graphics businesses.
Woody is a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, a Certified Professional Coach, a Master Practioner in the Energy Leadership Index, a member of American Massage Therapy Association, a member of the International Coaching Federation, and is certified in multiple modalities in massage and bodywork. He has trained extensively with John F. Barnes, the developer of Myofascial Release. He owns Well and Fit, a successful massage business specializing in pain relief, as well as The Growing Practice LLC.
