Health and Wellness Home Business Ideas

The health and wellness industry is worth approximately $3.4 trillion globally according to the Global Wellness Institute. In the 21st Century, people are becoming increasingly concerned about their health, weight and overall well-being and they are willing to spend not insignificant sums of money on products and services that will help them and their families to be as happy and healthy as they can possibly be. If you’re looking to start your own business, then, it makes sense to investigate your options in this very lucrative sector.

To help you out with that, here are some great health and wellness business ideas that you could run from home:

 

A Wellness Blog

Setting up your own blog is arguably one of the simplest ways to get started in business – although it does take a lot more time than many people might think – so why not combine the two by creating your own wellness blog? You could write about anything from exercise to healthy diets and everything in between and if your content is good, you optimize your website for the search engines, and you find a good way of monetizing it, there is no reason why you should not succeed. You might not start making a regular income for a while, but when you do, you’ll have one of the best jobs around.

 

Personal Trainer

If you’re pretty fit and you know your way around a gym, studying to become a qualified personal trainer could be your best route into the health and wellness business. There are lots of people out there who want to lose weight, get fit and build muscles, but they simply do not know how to, or not have the motivation to do so. That means there is ample opportunity for you to make money, and best of all, it’s a really flexible way to make money.

 

First Aid and Safety Classes

 

Online courses are very popular at the moment. So, if you’re qualified in first aid or CPR, for example – you can even do your cpr certification online – you could perhaps set up your own video course that teaches other people the basics of first aid, such as how to dress a wound or how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver. Obviously, you’ll need to look into what qualifications you need to be a teacher as well as having the skills and experience behind you, but all of that is very doable and it will give you an opportunity to make a living doing something that is actually very valuable.

 

Health Coaching

Health coaches are kind of like personal trainers except they don’t just deal with the fitness side of things, they offer health and guidance on everything from weight management and relaxation techniques to optimum nutrition, stress relief and pretty much everything else that will help their clients to achieve optimum overall body health. You usually need a certification in the areas that you are looking to teach in order to set yourself up as a health coach and bring in the clients, but consider that an investment in your business and it will soon become apparent why it is so worth it.

 

Massage Therapy

 

Again, you’ll need to become a certified massage therapist before you can set up your home business as a masseuse, but it’s something you can easily do from home, converting a spare room or even an outbuilding into a relaxing treatment room, and it is quite rewarding knowing that you’ve helped people to feel better when they come to you stressed out, aching and in a huge amount of pain. As well as training, you’ll need to invest in massage tables and other basic equipment, but other than that, you can build your business website, hand out a few cards and get the ball rolling on your business.

 

Open Your Own Health and Wellness Store

 

If your skills are more in the sales area of expertise than being hands-on, you may want to consider using a platform like Shopify to set up your own health and wellness store selling things such as vitamins and minerals or detox products, maybe even your own products or relaxation books.  Think about the things you’re most interested in and sell them because it will be a lot easier for you to create persuasive content when you’re writing about something you know.

 

Private Tennis Instructor

As a private tennis instructor, you will be taxed with teaching individual clients on a one-to-one basis at the tennis court that is most convenient for them so you may have to do some traveling. In order to do this effectively, you will need to have a pretty good grasp of playing tennis and maybe a few tennis awards, trophies or medals from some tennis playing groups you are in to prove you are qualified.  This would work best if you have local indoor and outdoor tennis courts and know where the indoor ones are located and what their business hours are in case of poor weather. If you live in an affluent area, you could do extremely well out of it.

 

Sell Books and Info Products

 

Writing books and other information products such as PDF courses is a great way to make money in the health and wellness sector because once you have written and uploaded a book, it can serve as passive income for the rest of your life. Obviously, to make a good living out of it, you need to write lots of books, but since ebooks can be less than 100 pages, this should not be too difficult for those of you who are good at writing and researching to achieve.

 

Personal Chef

 

If you’re a great cook and you know how to throw a few healthy ingredients together and get them tasting as amazing as all of that decadent stuff we all love, starting a new venture as a personal chef could be a great move for you. As a personal chef, you’ll spend your time cooking up delicious, nutritionally sound meals for people who don’t have the time or inclination to cook for themselves, but who want to ensure that they eat as well as they possibly can. A potential downside of this is that there are few people who can afford to employ a personal chef, so unless you live in a particularly well off area, it may be difficult to get work.

 

Start a Meal Subscription Service

Another option for those of you who love to cook would be setting up your own meal subscription service. There are a few of these – Hello Fresh probably being the most popular – around right now and they have been very well received by people who want to experiment with healthy cooking but who do not know how or have the time to shop and prepare a tasty nutritious meal on their own.

In order to succeed in this kind of home business, you’ll need to be able to come up with great recipes from scratch and source healthy ingredients in bulk, You’ll also have to be pretty good at running a website and marketing yourself online, but if you do all of that, then why not give it a go, it could be the start of a really amazing new career venture.

 

Become a Young Living Essential Oil Distributor

In this job, you have the benefit of getting the oils at a discount and offering them to others. There are many ways to do this. You can host classes to teach others about them or do it completely online with your website and social media. There are facebook groups and booklets to help you learn the best ways to use oils so that you can educate others. You can get essential oil recipes sent to your email by signing up here as well.

 

If you like any of these ideas, before you get too excited and start making too many plans, it would be sensible to check what qualifications you will need and if there are any regulations you must meet in order for your business to be legal. If you do that, and you’re happy with what you find, see if you can get a loan and pursue your dreams – life is too short to work a job you hate when you could be running a business you love from home.
