"Mindful Coach Training has changed and transformed my life both personally and professionally. It has helped me be a better communicator by deepening my listening skills, energizing my intuition and connection with people at a soul level. Being present with clients in such a heartfelt way and journeying with them as a Mindful Life Coach has energized my life with passion and purpose.
Guiding Mindful Change has inspired me to take my life to a level of love, joy, peace and abundance to mentor and coach others to do the same."

Guiding Mindful Change (GMC) was founded by Billie Frances, a licensed therapist whose vision was to create a network of Mindful Life Coaches who would positively change the lives of thousands. That vision is realized and is continually growing with nearly 300 certified coaches nationwide. GMC continues to set the standard for excellence in creating qualified, ethical and empowered coaches.
Most of GMC's certified coaches utilize the skills within their profession and/or maintain successful coaching practices, and several of them help fulfill GMC's corporate contracts. GMC maintains its global headquarters in San Diego, California and supports a prosperous coaching network that is able to respond to both individual and corporate coaching needs in a timely and efficient manner.
As you may have heard, the new field of Life Coaching is blossoming and a new pathway is opening for human services and wellness professionals. The tools of Mindful Life Coaching offer a very powerful avenue for behavioral change and personal empowerment.

- Maximizey potential in every area of life
- Achieve desired outcomes

What Makes Mindful Life Coaching Different? |
| At the heart of mindful coaching is awareness. Through attention and practice, mindful coaches learn to be more aware of essential harmony within all relationships and within all circumstances. And, when mindful coaches are aware of themselves and their clients, the coaching process naturally and powerfully reveals wholeness, balance, order and right action. Mindful Coaches do not impose their ideas or agendas upon their clients; rather they apply coaching techniques that fully allow their clients to discover pathways to their heart's desires.
Mindful Life Coaching begins with the following beliefs:
- People are naturally whole and resourceful
- Balance is essential for fulfillment
- Clients are their own authority for change
- Change is promoted by mindful guidance, support, encouragement and partnership
"In comparison to other "coach trainings" I have received, the Mindful
Coaching Program hones right in on the "art" of coaching in a condensed
training for healthcare professionals who are already skilled in the
business of helping people. I was attracted to this program because the
foundation is based in Mindfulness and Wellness. In addition, the personal touch provided by Billie Frances and the connectedness with other students in her classes alleviated the feeling of being out there on your own with no support system."
