If you are driven to change your life

If you are driven to change your life by yourself and keep trying over and over again, are looking for solutions from the outside (watching content on selfhelp/improvement or even from Dr. K) and nothing seems to work? then there must be something different going on. You won't find the solution from the outside. You already tried that for a long time (atleast I did it for many years). if this resonates with you than give coaching a shot to look for solutions from the inside! It's the best investment I made in my entire life and it was worth every! Penny! I know my review sounds lurid and could put the coaching on very high expectations, but thats just how confident I am for this program (for a person with this kind of backstory).

Total Number of Sessions Decreased Deceitfully

When I signed up for coaching, I saw the number of coaching sessions that showed were 0/5. After I utilized 3 coaching sessions, I received an email that another payment installment will be deducted from my credit card. At that point I emailed the "support" team to stop more payments and that I did not want to continue after 5 sessions. After that, my dashboard showed 3/4 sessions utilized instead of 3/5. Before I emailed the Healthy Gamer Coaching support team my dashboard showed the coaching sessions status as 3/5. So someone reduced the total number of sessions at the back end from 5 to 4. I asked my coach if she had seen this happen (the number of sessions reduced) to someone else who did not want to continue after the first 5 sessions. My coach said that this is the first time she has seen this happen to any of her clients. Her words were "This IS quiet strange." "This has actually never happened before - at least, not with me and my clients".

Coaching is amazing

Coaching is amazing. Before going to coaching I thought that I would just never be able to do some of the things that I wanted out of life. My coach showed me that with constant progress and focusing on your goals in the right way, you can do it. I was able to fly on a plane even though I had accepted that I would just always be terrified and flying isn't for me. But I did it! I flew and I was even rather calm. There is so much other things that I also wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I recommend it to everyone!

A helpful and accommodating service

My coach has been helpful and the support team was also very accommodating. I had accidentally missed my first session with my coach. It was my mistake as I had misremembered the meet I was supposed to meet with my coach. Either way, I talked to both my coach and Siv from customer support. After some time they had actually allowed for my first missed session to be marked as a skip which meant I wouldn't miss out completely on the session I paid for which I really appreciated. My coach has also really listened to me when I dump all my thoughts and things that happened throughout the week on her and it has definitely helped! Overall, would recommend the program! You definitely have to put as much effort as you can into it if you want to make progress though. Even with that being said, if you discuss with your coach about anything you feel might be lacking in the sessions they should be able to accommodate as long as it's in their control to do so. As well as recommend different sources that can help. 👍

Please Save Your Money

Even as a big fan of Dr K’s channel, I can’t in good conscience recommend this service, specially at this price point. Your first week or two is actually going to be decent quality, since the resources (such as worksheets) come from Dr K himself. After you’re locked in, you might get stuck with reading chapters off a For Dummies book or generic advice that isn’t worth the price tag. I also have to echo what other people have said about coaches generally not being satisfied with the company, since the reason mine specifically cited for not being available outside of coaching hours is the fact that they don’t get paid enough for that. To offer a comparison, online courses I’ve taken at similar price points meet for much longer and also offer allotted time to help outside of meeting hours. I don’t know how those places make it work, maybe it’s the fact that they’re bigger companies, but the difference in quality is staggering and I’m looking at this from the consumer point of view. It does seem like I got unlucky with my coach, but the company isn’t guilt-free here. I do think they’re out to profit first and foremost which is okay, I just wish I got my money’s worth. I do hope this helps someone who would be making a sacrifice paying for this.

HealthyGamer Matched Me with the GOAT Coach

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with HealthyGamer, but especially my coach Sonia (or as I like to call her, my “Goach” Greatest Coach of All Time). From day one, she’s been supportive, patient, and incredibly skilled at helping me reframe my mindset and build healthy habits in a way that actually sticks.

Sonia doesn’t just check boxes she genuinely listens, helps me get to the root of what’s holding me back, and always makes me feel like I’m capable of more than I thought. She balances accountability with compassion in a way that feels motivating, not pressured.

The progress I’ve made in just a short time is proof of her dedication and expertise. I’m grateful to HG for connecting me with such an awesome coach. If you’re on the fence about coaching do it. You might just meet your own “Goach” too. 🙏

Truly life-changing transformation

Truly life-changing, deep and holistic transformation has been enabled for millions through Healthygamergg or Healthy Gamer by Dr K and Team. My family and I found the programs to be very useful for all types of wellbeing. Dr K's guide is a resource like no other giving actionable wisdom at another level.

Great experience!

I already moved into coaching with a good chunk of knowledge (5 years of therapy) and one year of challenging experiences, giving me the opportunity to translate my gathered knowledge into the practical world.

Coaching helped me with finding a way to combine these two worlds (theoretical and practical) in a more proactive sense while accelerating the bit of growth I feel I needed before putting me into a place at which I felt comfortable with trying to navigate life without mental health support for the first time since I'm a grown-up.

They Only Care About Your MONEY!!!

I enrolled in the Healthy Gamer Institute on June 5th. The start date for the program was July 7th, and I signed an agreement that I thought gave me a 100% refund up until a week before the start date. I enrolled as soon as I could, partially out of fear of missing out (FOMO). So, the refund policy helped my peace of mind.

After pondering it for a week. I decided this was not the best time for me to enroll in this program, and on June 13th, I requested a refund.

They told me that I was only eligible for a refund within 48 hours of signing the agreement, and it had to couldn't be within a week of the start date. The wording in the agreement was misleading and, I feel, purposefully confusing, as I am not someone who reads a lot of legal documents.

They told me I was only eligible for a 75% refund AND they take an additional $250 out of the remaining balance for "admin fees," which alone is absurd.

So, even though we were 3 weeks away from the actual start date and I requested the refund within 8 days of enrollment, I was only able to get a 75% refund (minus their absurd admin fee). Which means, I lost close to $1400 for them to hold my money for a week.

This is the worst client agreement I have ever enrolled in. For context, I used to have Comcast and just bought the Switch 2. It is the most anti-consumer refund policy I have ever seen.

This SEVERELY tarnishes Dr. K's reputation, and I have been sure to tell my colleagues of nerdy coaches about this predatory agreement.

Definitely buyer beware, as it seems like Healthy Gamer is no longer about helping gamers; they are solely about their bottom line. Which is a huge shame because Dr. K used to be a huge inspiration to me when I started my own business.

Reply from Healthy Gamer

Hello Jordan,

We’re truly sorry this experience has impacted your perception of Healthy Gamer. Our mission has always been to support and empower our community, and we remain committed to improving the experience for everyone who joins our programs.

The HG Institute’s Coaching Elements Quest is a professional, accredited training program which is a path to a certification from the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching. Because it involves live instruction, it operates similarly to a university or formal educational setting. Each cohort is capped at 25 students.

This means that each purchase is a spot that becomes unavailable to others. For that reason, as stated in our policies, we’re only able to offer a 100% refund within the first 48 hours after enrollment. This policy helps us manage faculty time, administrative planning, and program logistics responsibly.

When you let us know about your scheduling conflict, we made every effort to find a workable solution within the structure of the program. While we’re disappointed we couldn’t reach a resolution, we understand that refund policies can be frustrating—especially in complex or unexpected situations.

Our goal is to be as transparent as possible, and the policy is communicated both prior to enrollment and in the signed agreement. That said, we genuinely value your feedback and will be reviewing how we present this information to help avoid future confusion.

If you’d like to continue the conversation, we are still available to communicate directly at hgisupport@hg-institute.com. And, as we offered via email, the option to join a later cohort remains.

Thanks,
HG Institute team

10/10

I would highly recommend this program to anyone who needs help. I tried the group coaching, and that wasn't the best for me, but I got a lot out of 1-on-1 coaching and I'm super thankful to my coach.

Coaching Can Change You

Coaching has changed a lot of my perspectives as well as helped me deal with my problems that I struggled with a lot. From goal setting to emotional support, coaching helped me find a lot more purpose and have more motivation than when I started. Having someone be there to help you out while you're working on yourself will make the work you're putting on 10x easier and effective

This will change your life for the better

Dr. Ks guide is a lifechanger. It has enough content to work on for years, and he still compliments this program with new FREE videos on his youtube channel.

What started as one man trying to do AOE heal transformed into a company actively working to make people live better lives.

Even the support team is wonderful, I had an issue and it was solved immediately.

It gave me perspective.

I completed 20 sessions and it really helped. I went in hoping they would fix all my problems and I wouldn't have to change. I am very grateful to my coach who might not have been perfect, but when I expressed my impatience and annoyance with him it was a breakthrough. He understood me better, and I understood that he couldn't solve my problems for me.

Fantastic Platform

I've been using coaching for more than a year. For me personally it's been better and more productive than therapy I've received throughout the years. I've had candid advice, my struggles were understood, and I've seriously turned my life around in the last year. Milage may vary with who your coach is, you may need to try a few before you find a really good match. But when it clicks, it clicks

Valuable Service

I completed a little over 20 weekly sessions with a 1:1 professional HG coach. The regularity & consistency of our meetings helped me to organize & prioritize my goals. As an entrepreneur with ADHD, executive functioning can be my kryptonite. Unsurprisingly, when my coach and I discussed the tasks I found most challenging to engage with, there were feelings, beliefs or stories I was telling myself about what the task *meant*, getting in my way, not my executive function. I will continue to employ the tools and systems I built with my coach to organize my to-do list and to explore the "why" for stubborn tasks, if when I find I'm struggling to check them off.

Highly recommend for everybody :)

I had 1-1 coaching for 32 weeks and can't recommend it enough. It helped me heal and manage my feelings of shame, anxiety and burn-out. It helped me to figure out a direction I want in life, to come up with a plan and to stick to it. It turned my life around in a profound way. The price for me was a little too steep, but in the end it was well worth it. The coach was friendly and professional. I didn't encounter any technical problems. I think everybody could benefit from HG coaching.

Please think twice before you use K's service

Objectively:
K's license has been reprimanded. Google it and you'll find it.

Subjectively:
- Scheduling is of poor quality, was grouped with a group session where everyone know each other already.
- Coaches are of poor quality, I told the coach my goal and was informed that my goal can only be achieved alone after two months of coaching. Didn't get a refund.

Outstanding work done by my coach

Outstanding work done by my coach. I have been on coaching twice for 50 weeks total. It has helped me improve my emotional state significantly with feelings shame, judgement and insignificance, actually coming closer to my goals and many other problems that I have met in life. It has helped me turn my life upside down! Recommend it with my whole heart.
