Coaching Certifications
Your pathway to becoming a confident, heart-centered, nationally recognized coach
Mindful coaching starts with awareness...
Mindful coaches start with self-discovery. They are willing to first identify their own strengths and blind spots in order to powerfully support clients seeking better health, wellness and meaningful change.
Mindful coaches do not impose their ideas and agendas on their clients. Instead, they apply the guiding mindful change coaching techniques – based on our foundational beliefs – to allow their clients the freedom to discover pathways to their hearts’ desires.
Guiding Mindful Change Foundational 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
