Course Outline and Modules
We are made up of mind, body and spirit. Our mind with its intellect and emotion. Our physical body. And our spiritual essence. Holistic life coaching is facilitating someone’s experience within all these states of being so they reach a state of empowerment and balance.
We engage with life from many perspectives: work, intimacy, learning, material resources, skills development, social interaction, family etc. Underpinning all these ways of engagement is how we feel about ourselves and what gives our life meaning. Holistic life coaching is being a guide to someone’s processes of self-discovery and how they use this learning in daily life.
TOP QUESTION: What is the difference between life coaching and holistic life coaching? Life coaching helps us to improve different areas of our life e.g. work, friendship, personal development, communication, intimacy, well-being, and family. Holistic life coaching helps us integrate these areas of our life to give a more profound meaning to daily living.

“The Certificate was excellent. I have learned how to identify different clients’ needs as to their learning ability. I am also more knowledgeable on the different belief systems – many of which I had never heard of. I have deepened my knowledge on why nature is so important in our lives and the impact it has when we incorporate it into our daily life as much as possible. Lastly, I thought the section on emotional well-being very interesting and will use the guided imagery with my own clients, as it has had such positive outcomes in my own.”
