Level I: Wellness Inventory Certification Training

A pioneer in wellness and wellness coach training, we bring a transformational whole person approach to the coaching process and to the client's (and coach's) personal wellbeing through our dynamic, 12 dimensions model, the Wellness Energy System.

We create a safe environment for learning and growth in our 14-week Level I Training.  Classes are conducted weekly for 2 hours via Zoom with two live instructors. Level I includes a rich curriculum, with in-depth discussion, experiential whole person learning, innovative coaching instruction, and live coaching sessions with instructor feedback

Each week we focus on a "Coaching Spotlight" (practical coaching skill), explore one the 12 dimensions of wellness and its' role in personal wellbeing and coaching, as well as explore key areas of behavior change and personal growth, including our Holographic Growth Process. 

You will learn to utilize our whole person (12 dimensions) model, our Holographic Growth Process, and Wellness Inventory program to support your coaching as well as your own personal wellbeing as a coach. You will learn to support your clients in cultivating a wellness mindset, deepening their sense of self-efficacy in creating change, and improving their level of personal wellbeing.

Students will also have a weekly peer coaching session between classes in which they will coach and then experienced being coached by another student. We have found this to be a highly valuable process to practice and improve coaching skills.

Level I includes two, 2-hour Coaching Skill Labs in which students are able to coach another student and receive instructor feedback. There is a written proficiency portfolio to help students integrate what they have learned in Level I. 

All live classes are saved as mp4 videos for later review. 

The training is a vibrant, highly interactive learning experience, both personally and professionally, leading to professional competency as well as a deepening of your own personal wellbeing - a transformative journey.
