Become a Nationally Certified NeuroHealth Coach (NCNHC)
The only training that combines neuroscience, nutrition, and coaching methodology into one powerful framework
Fully accredited. Globally recognized. Built for the next generation of Addiction & Mental Health Professionals.
What Is The Certified NeuroHealth Coach Training?
A Certified NeuroHealth Coach is trained to address one of the most overlooked drivers of relapse: Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS). Traditional treatment often focuses on coping skills and behavioral support — but without restoring the brain, success rates remain painfully low. In fact, many clients end up cycling in and out of treatment or relying on medications that create new challenges of their own.
That’s where NeuroHealth recovery comes in. By putting brain health at the center of the process, you’ll learn how to help clients stabilize their mood, regulate cravings, and rebuild from the inside out. No more “white-knuckling” through irritability, restlessness, and discomfort — this certification gives you the tools to make recovery sustainable and far more comfortable.
Inside this certification, you’ll uncover why relapse rates remain stubbornly high, why many clients feel trapped in a cycle of medications and symptoms, and how brain health has been the missing link in sustainable recovery. You’ll be guided by experts who blend neuroscience, coaching, and lived experience to show you what really drives cravings, dysregulation, and relapse — and how to approach recovery from the top down instead of chasing symptoms from the bottom up.

Brain Health as the Foundation of Recovery

Here's Everything You Get When You Enroll Today:
Nationally Certified NeuroHealth Coach (NCNHC) - Counts Towards 31 CEU/CME/CE/Hrs
NeuroHealth Coach Video Training (20 CEUs)
20 CEU/CME/CE/Hrs
Each course is designed to meet the global standards, with clear objectives, real-world application, and evidence-based frameworks.
Session One:
Why Brain Health Must Come First
Recovery must begin in the brain and Dr. Teralyn Sell introduces the staggering relapse rates in traditional treatment and shows why coping skills alone aren’t enough. Students explore how psychiatric medications, trauma, and head injuries reshape the brain, why relapse often signals neurological imbalance rather than lack of willpower, and how a brain-first model reframes the entire coaching process.
Session Two:
Understanding Neurotransmitters, Brain Chemistry & Nutritional Support for Recovery
You’ll gain a clear understanding of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, and how addiction and medications disrupt their balance. The session highlights how nutrition, amino acid therapy, and simple lifestyle shifts can restore stability, reduce cravings, and improve focus. Students also learn practical coaching tools — from breathwork to food protocols — that help clients regulate mood and energy in real time.
Session Three:
Behavioral, Emotional & Cultural Dynamics
How cravings, cultural conditioning, emotional trauma, and family beliefs all influence relapse patterns. Students learn how to distinguish between emotional hunger and physical need, how to coach clients through shame and self-sabotage, and how to rewire dopamine pathways with healthier rewards. Real client case studies bring the material to life, showing exactly how to apply brain-based strategies in everyday coaching sessions.
Certified NeuroHealth Coach Training Manual
This isn’t just a manual — it’s your complete professional playbook. Inside you’ll find over 60 pages of in-depth training that blends neuroscience, nutrition, and coaching methodology into one powerful system. The manual walks you step by step through the landscape of brain health in recovery — from the way neurotransmitters drive cravings, mood, and focus to the overlooked role of genetics, nutrition, and stress in relapse.
Each section is designed to give you not only scientific insight but also client-ready tools you can apply right away. You’ll learn how to recognize brain-based imbalances, explain the connection between food, mood, and cravings in a way clients can grasp, and use practical strategies to help stabilize energy, sleep, and emotional regulation. It even covers natural interventions like amino acid protocols, essential oils, and pro-recovery nutrition — so you’re equipped whether you’re coaching in a treatment program, private practice, or online.
By the time you’re done, you won’t just understand the mechanics of brain chemistry and addiction — you’ll have a ready-to-use framework for coaching clients, reducing relapse risk, and positioning yourself as a certified professional in one of the most innovative and needed areas of recovery today.
Relapse Prevention Training
5 CEU/CME/CE/Hrs
In addition to the core NeuroHealth Coach Training, you’ll also receive full Relapse Prevention Training—a nationally recognized certification that equips you with the advanced skills every recovery coach needs. Relapse is not a single event; it’s a process. This training gives you the tools to intervene early, stop the cycle, and build long-term strategies that work in the real world.
Session One:
Relapse Prevention Foundations
Discover why the “abstinence-only” model fails so many and learn how to approach relapse prevention with a flexible, client-centered strategy. You’ll cover harm reduction vs. abstinence, chronic relapse patterns, the science of triggers, and how to build aftercare plans that truly stick.
Session Two:
Advanced Relapse Prevention Strategy
Move from theory to action with practical tools for identifying triggers, rewriting limiting beliefs, and creating relapse prevention plans. You’ll also learn how to manage trauma, structure daily routines, and guide families through the emotional and behavioral patterns that fuel relapse.
Session Three:
Stages of Relapse & Neurochemical Recovery
Dive into the three stages of relapse—emotional, mental, and physical—while learning how brain chemistry impacts recovery. You’ll explore cognitive reframing, boundary-setting, exercise, nutrition, and neurochemical repair strategies that restore balance and reduce relapse risk.
Session Four:
Twelve-Step Integration & Alternative Recovery Paths
Learn how to integrate (or critique) 12-step programs as one part of a holistic recovery plan. You’ll explore alternative pathways, individualized strategies, and the philosophy of relapse prevention as a multi-layered system—combining coaching, community, structure, nutrition, and faith.
Ethics Course (6 CEUs)
6 CEU/CME/CE/Hrs
Gain a deep understanding of ethical responsibilities, including confidentiality, professional standards, report writing, case management, and legal compliance across state lines. Through practical scenarios, action planning, and guidance on boundaries, trust-building, and communication, participants learn to navigate complex ethical situations confidently.

Meet Your Instructor:
Dr. Teralyn Sell
Dr. Teralyn Sell is a nationally recognized expert in brain health, addiction recovery, and holistic mental wellness. With a background that spans correctional psychology, private practice, and wellness-based recovery coaching, Dr. Teralyn Sell has seen firsthand how traditional treatment models often fail to address the root cause of relapse — the brain itself.
After years of working inside prisons and state systems, she grew frustrated with the revolving door of clients cycling through treatment and medications without lasting results. Determined to create a better way, she shifted her focus to brain-first recovery, integrating neuroscience, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions into her coaching practice. The results were profound: clients stabilized faster, experienced fewer relapses, and built stronger, more sustainable recoveries.
As lead instructor for the Nationally Certified NeuroHealth Coach program, she brings her clinical expertise, lived experience, and passion for teaching together. Known for her high-energy delivery and clear, practical explanations, she makes complex science both accessible and immediately applicable. Her mission is simple: to equip coaches and professionals with the knowledge and tools to change lives by starting where recovery truly begins — in the brain.
