Meet the creator
Dala McDevitt
RN, BSN, CPT, CNC, FNMS
I discovered my passion for preventative health during my 5-year career as a Labor & Delivery nurse. After realizing I wanted to help people in an ongoing, 1:1 capacity, I sought to supplement my medical education background by pursuing fitness and nutrition certifications.
Unfortunately, I spent many years, thousands of hours, and hard-earned dollars on programs, certifications, and mentorships that promised to set me up for success, only to be let down. Every certification I tried felt like a dead end that only offered bits and pieces of information I needed, lacked any practical application, and forced me to continue learning through trial and error.
After years of building a business that helped thousands of people achieve their health goals, I knew the next thing for me to do was find a way to better serve the online coach community and level up this industry.
I decided to create a one-stop-shop certification program for online coaches so they can invest their time wisely, get to changing lives confidently, and avoid the 4+ years of wheel spinning I had to go through.
Since our launch in 2020, that’s precisely what we’ve been able to achieve.
Our graduates aren’t hunting for the next certification to fill their knowledge gaps. Instead, they’re busy working as in-demand coaches helping people achieve life-changing transformations.
We can’t wait to help you do the same when you join us.

Is OFNC the right choice for you?
THIS CERTIFICATION IS FOR YOU IF…

• You have a passion for helping others
• You want to do it the right way with the strongest education so everyone you help gets healthy safely
• You don’t want to give your client surface level answers-you’re ready to dive deep and understand the science so you’re more than a coach, you’re an educator
• You want to be able to help a wide range of clientele with different goals and conditions so you can have the biggest impact
• You want to know without a shadow of a doubt that you can help someone experience a lifelong transformation
• You want a certification that will set you up for a successful career – whether that means starting your own business, a side hustle, or getting hired by a reputable company

“If you’re on the fence about OFNC, do it! I would 100% recommend this course to any coach or anyone interested in learning more about fitness and nutrition. I have my BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and have been coaching for a few years and I still learned SO much! You receive more detailed information from OFNC than any other course, and I promise you will leave feeling more confident to provide the best service to your clients and to level up your business!”
– Julie H.
