I loved this workbook so much. I have learned so much and grown immensely since beginning it. The learning is so interesting and in digestible chunks, so that it hasn’t felt overwhelming. It has helped me understand what motivates and inhibits all of those around me. I am now viewing situations, people or conversations with more compassion because so many humans are unaware of their unconscious programming or childhood traumas and doing the best that they know how. In my opinion, there’s nothing you need to do to improve the experience! I’m so glad I found your course! Thank you!"

Why Holistic Life Coaching?

In this fast-paced, overworked and chronically stressed world there is an increasing desire to live a more purposeful, fulfilling and joyous life. This is evident in the growing number of people and businesses turning towards transformational life, health and wellness coaches in their attainment of meaning, growth and change.

Have you noticed the collective shift towards more holistic approaches in achieving a healthier and happier mindset and lifestyle? 

People want more than they ever have before… more love, career options, deeper relationships, vibrant health and greater financial freedom to truly enjoy this precious life more fully.

Evidence-based behavioural neuroscience is finally reaching mainstream healthcare, while the wellbeing arena is booming with a newfound independence away from outdated approaches that often miss the bigger picture - and the root cause of mental health.

We can no longer ignore the deeper layers of human existence, or neglect to include nervous system education and mind-body practices into mainstream healthcare and wellbeing approaches. 

This is where a trained Holistic Life Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner has a huge advantage in providing a much-needed service within the wellbeing space and across mental health industries.

HOLISTIC, EVIDENCE-BASED & HEART-CENTRED TRAINING TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE…

I found this course very well designed for integrating theory into practice. I especially appreciated the focus on applying everything to myself first, before using it with clients. The exercises were relevant, well structured, and gave me a strong sense of the client's perspective. The length and amount of content felt just right. Working through the exercises encouraged deep reflection and personal insight. I became more aware of certain patterns and areas of my life that needed attention, and I was able to shift some of them meaningfully. It also helped me reduce or change certain habits. I discovered powerful tools that I can continue to use in my own life."

I really loved how in-depth the Business module went. I feel well-rounded in my knowledge of the business field, and I feel ready to start building my own. I think everything was covered that was important, and I didn't feel like I was missing out on any information at all.
I was very grateful for this course and all that it has taught me, especially the support offered by everyone involved in this course.
Truly grateful I got to learn so much."

    Become a Confident Coach & Change-Maker!

    There’s no doubt coaching is fast building traction as a popular career and personal development pathway.

    Holistic Coaching is a blend of various psychological and somatic approaches that include self-help, personal growth, behavioural psychology (CBT), neuroplasticity and neurolinguistic programming (NLP).

    Coaching isn’t about goal setting though. It’s about goal achieving and moving forward in life. Professional coaching provides clarity, confidence and the ability to take what you ‘know’ and turn it into ‘action’. As a confident coach you get to help people create change where they simply can’t on their own. 

    As you move through this experiential program, you can immediately start applying these coaching methodologies, communicational skills, behavioural psychology and practical mind-body tools into your own life, career and relationships. 
    You will get clear about your own values and goals to deepen your personal growth and competency skills in practice, all while learning how to inspire change and empower others!

    Our course is the product of over twenty years of study, research, and personal and professional experience presented in an easily accessible, relatable and integrative way. It's updated regularly to always include the latest information and modern approaches.

    You get the information you need to know – without all the fluff – that you can immediately apply into the real world as an effective, empowering and confident behaviour change expert. 

    There is no other rewarding career quite like the feeling of inspiring and actualising change from the inside out!

    Approved, Registered, Accredited & Internationally Recognised Training with:


    • ACCPH – Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists & Hypnotherapists
    • IICT – International Institute of Complementary Therapists
    • CMA – The Complementary Medical Association
    • IPHM – International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine Accreditation Board
    • AADP – American Association of Drugless Practitioners

    Includes Accredited CPD Recognition for Stage 2 - Mind-Body Connection!

    THIS COURSE IS FOR...

    Anyone with a love of the brain, mindset, where beliefs come from, releasing self-sabotage, communication skills, the power of thought, behaviour change, or wanting to deepen their own personal growth and awareness, or start their own wellbeing business.
    This is a highly practical and experiential course for qualified health, cognitive, or wellbeing practitioners wanting to focus on client behaviour change, stress and the nervous system, somatic practices, neuroplasticity, biology of belief, and positive psychology tools, and for professionals who lacked this knowledge in their original modality training. The MBP stage two also provides registered or licensed professionals with accredited CPD. 
    This certification course is the prerequisite qualification for all our advanced pathway options.
