Life Coaching+

Life coaches help someone navigate their passion and purpose with personal and professional goals.
They may incorporate areas of focus representative of health coaching, such as stress management tools and highlighting the importance of healthy habits like diet, nutrition, exercise and sleep – all in service of helping their clients build a vision and a mindset for their future so they can confidently step forward into that future. In this way, life coaching has some overlap with health coaching, but life coaching is strictly centered around personal and professional goals. Life coaches work with their clients on career, relationship, business, financial, spiritual, somatic, mindset and purpose-driven goals.

A health coach, by contrast, will always tie back to the foundations of health in their work with clients. Being a health coach requires additional, specialized training so that health coaches have a depth of knowledge around physical movement, chronic diseases, nutrition, sleep, and other healthy habits that will improve health outcomes for their clients. A health coach can fill in the gaps of physician-patient care and follow through.

There are foundational differences in life coaching vs health coaching. While there is a bit of overlap, the lens from a life coach vs a health coach is very different.

While life coaching is not a regulated industry, accreditations can help provide new coaches with a network and additional training and support as they establish themselves in a new career.

Many of the oldest accreditations have become unwieldy and require the coach to spend thousands of additional dollars annually to maintain affiliation, while offering limited support, guidance, and networking activities. We believe that can and should be different! As such, we are in process of becoming AC, BCC and IAC accredited so our graduates may pursue a range of post-graduate support as they wish - all in addition to the 20+ hours per year of ongoing education all alumni receive, at no additional charge, once they graduate. This makes our program one of the best life coaching programs available.

We believe everyone who wants a brilliant life coach should have access to one.

We believe everyone who wants to become the best life coach should have a program that has been designed just for them – a program that meets the moment. This is the best life coach certification, created to help you become the coach you’ve always wanted to be.

We believe life coaching is ready for a refresh, a modern approach that includes neuroscience, evidence-backed tools, meaningful dialogue about what it takes to actually change and how to help people achieve the change they seek – whether it’s in their career, relationships, mindset, spirituality, finances or overall life direction and goals.

Enter our Life Coaching+ Certification. This program will not limit you to “staying in your lane” but will ensure you are a behavior change expert once you graduate. It’s a life coaching certification, yes. But we think of it as Life Coaching+...as you’ll be limitless in how you apply these tools so you can help others in a way that is uniquely you.  

In just twelve weeks, you will learn the foundational principles of behavior change, how to setup and nurture the coaching relationship with your clients, and how to help your clients tap into their own resilience for transformation, all with a unique mindbodygreen twist.

This is the life coaching program that we wish existed… so we made it!
