Life Coach Insurance

Coverage considerations for life coaches who provide guidance, accountability, and motivation to clients.

What this coverage is intended to address

✓Professional liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance are generally intended to respond when a client alleges that the advice or coaching you provided caused them harm or financial loss.
✓Defense costs that may be associated with a covered claim arising from your coaching services.
✓General liability is generally intended to respond to third-party bodily injury or property damage that may arise during any in-person sessions.

Important: Coverage terms, eligibility, and pricing are determined by the carrier and vary by state and individual circumstance. The information on this page is general and educational — nothing here implies, affords, or offers any specific insurance coverage. Review the actual policy form and consult a licensed insurance professional before binding.

Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A client alleges that the personal-development guidance you gave led them to make a decision that harmed their finances or wellbeing; professional liability / E&O insurance is generally intended to respond to a covered claim of this type.
A client visiting your office is injured when a chair collapses; general liability insurance is generally intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.

Frequently asked questions

Is life coaching the same as therapy for insurance purposes?

No. Life coaching is generally not licensed therapy or mental-health treatment, and policies are written with that distinction in mind. Professional liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance are generally intended to respond to allegations that your coaching advice caused harm. A licensed insurance professional can explain the boundaries.

What if a client says my advice hurt them?

That is precisely the exposure professional liability / E&O insurance is generally intended to address, responding to defense and damages in the event of a covered claim. A licensed insurance professional can review your specific services.
