In Utah, the life coaching industry is under scrutiny following the high-profile conviction of Jodi Hildebrandt, a former therapist-turned-life-coach, for child abuse. The case has prompted Utah legislators to consider implementing government oversight for the largely unregulated life coaching industry. This move aims to address concerns that some therapists, after losing their licenses due to misconduct, continue their careers as life coaches. The Utah licensing director has expressed support for increased oversight, highlighting the potential risks posed by unregulated life coaching practices. The life coaching industry is booming, partly because anyone can claim to be a life coach and offer services ranging from improving sex life and weight loss to business operations and parenting.
