Naturally in Balance and Strong... Thoughts?

Comments

I think all of these are trying to fit too much information into a small space. How aboutsomething like:

Balance & Strength Coaching
(centered & smaller underneath) Health & life coaching the natural way

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

I like where you are going, but "Strength Coach" is not what I was going for. I was thinking strong as in mentally and physically.

[chapstickqueen.livejournal.com]

I read 'naturrally balanced and strong" followed by anything as to more like a nutriotionist or naturopath...which isn't quite what you're going for...correct?

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

It actually is. Nutrion, workouts, personal balance; it all fits into what I am doing.

[chapstickqueen.livejournal.com]

Ah! In that case, I like Naturally Balanced and Strong Wellness best.

[awfief.livejournal.com]

I like "Natural Balance, Strong Wellness"

[beah.livejournal.com]

These all make it sound like "Strong" is your name... What about "Natural Balance Health and Wellness Coaching"?

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

Really? I didn't read that at all. Interesting. I really like NBS because I would like to come at it from the No BS angle. NBHWC is kind of long. I just don't know!

I think these options don't convey what you're going for because the "and" breaks it into the wrong 2 parts:

Naturally Balanced
and
Strong Coaching

so it ends up sounding like strength coaching despite your intent (or like you are a strong coach). Also, when read as those two parts (which I do for all four of your options listed), they don't really parse: you're coaching naturally balanced and strong. . . what?

Wow, this sounds more negative than I meant. I'd better come up with a solution and not just problems! Um . . . um . . .

Personal Balance and Natural Wellness ?
Natural Wellness, Strength, and Balance ?
Natural Wellness and Balance ?
Natural Wellness and Life Balance? (I'm not so crazy about this one)

Maybe leave the word coach out entirely.

And go you for embarking on your own venture like this!

Yeah, I agree.

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

All good points. Even if it wasn't meant as so, negative feedback is perfectly acceptable! I need to know how people read the words. Just because I see it one way, doesn't mean it's the only way!

Thank you very much! I am scared and excited :)

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Anything with "Strong Wellness" sounds like bad grammar.

I would say "Naturally Balanced and Strong Coaching" is best of those three, but it's still a bit wordy. How attached are you to "Strong"? 'Cause "Naturally Balanced Health Coaching" sounds good to me.

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

Not overly attached, but I am trying to keep the NBS Something-or-other.

[burny-md.livejournal.com]

I'll go here too, just to make sure you're confused. ;)

I originally thought "Coaching Naturally", but now I think:

Balanced Naturally
or
Naturally Balanced (appears to be already taken by a chiropractor)

If you're going to stick with what you have (which I still think is way too long for a name), I'd make a couple minor recommendations. Use "&" instead of "and". Consider re-ordering them. It really does sound like "Strong" is an adjective to whatever you put on the end. So either make it "Strength", or "Naturally Strong & Balanced Coaching"

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your input! Your recommendations will be taken into account upon finalization of the name :)

Before I forget...

[seerofkell.livejournal.com]

I agree with a lot of the comments already made. Strong, just doesn't seem to fit at the end like that and breaking it up with the "and" has the wrong feel. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for here, is this supposed to be your tagline? Are you going to say, "Coach Brandie. Naturally in Balance...?"

How about something more simple, like "Natural Life Coach". Then underneath you can put, "strength and balance for healthy living". Natural life coach implies you are the best one for the job, naturally :) and that your methods are natural. ;)

Re: Before I forget...

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

This is not the tagline. This is the name of the business. I really like Natural Life Coach. Thinking.....

Variations on a theme

[seerofkell.livejournal.com]

The Natural Life Coach
Natural Life Coaching

I think you need to keep it simple, you need a hook, then you can explain about the strength and balance, etc... Too many words is confusing to people.

Example: They advertised this diet in AZ called, Smart for Life. They recently change it to, "Natural Weight for Optimized Living".(I think there was a copyright issue or something) I hate that new name because it's not a name, it's more like a sentence and I keep waiting to hear the real name that I can remember and go find out more. I understand why it's long, I guess you can't say just Natural Weight or just Optimized Living, it's not descriptive enough, sort of like saying, "good food".

I don't know why I bring this up, maybe I'm just tired of hearing the commercial. ;)

Re: Variations on a theme

I totally get the too long thing. The company will be called NBS Whatever. The website will be www.nbswhatever.com. You will only see what NBS stands for on the site and in advertising. It will be written on two lines like this:

Naturally Balanced & Strong
Health Coaching

Or whatever it ends up being.
I would like to have several different variations of what NBS stands for scrolling at the top of the web page with the last one being No BS. There is a method to my thoughts!
