Build-Your-Own ‘Squad’ – YourCoach Redefines Health Coaching
By JESSICA DaMASSA, WTF HEALTH
Health coaches are playing an ever-more important role in healthcare,
but there’s no one single authority when it comes to finding one — or vetting
them for that matter — until now.
Marina Borukhovich, CEO of startup YourCoach, talks about how she hopes to disrupt health coaching after she learned the value of having a ‘squad’ of experts help her through her breast cancer journey.
In fact, ‘Squads’ are the value-add that YourCoach is hoping will set
them apart. The app’s signature feature is that it lets you build-your-own team
of experts who can work together to tackle any aspect of health and wellness.
“We’re connecting coaches from around the world
who are going to lead the client holistically,” explains Marina. “So, it could be
diabetes support, it could be pull[ing] somebody in who does meditation, they
could bring in a business coach. It just really depends on the person…and what you
need as a person.”
“We’re building ‘Team YOU.”
Joining in on the fun in this interview is Eugene Borukhovich, who some

Eugene serves as an advisor to YourCoach and is also Marina’s husband —
possibly making them the “Beyonce & Jay-Z” power couple of
