Praise for our life coach certification program

Read reflections from our certified coaches.

“During my time in the Wholehearted Coaching Certification, I have expanded my dream of what coaching can be and what kind of coach I can be.”

I don’t have enough words for how much this certification and my fellow wholehearted coaches have fed my spirit, fortified my mind, and warmed my heart.

While I knew that I would come through this certification process feeling better equipped as a coach, what was even more surprising was how much better equipped I also feel to confront and process my own self and my mental health in a much more loving way.

So much gratitude for this certification leading me on a path to not only become a better coach, but also a better version of myself.

"If you want to become a coach, THIS is the certification program!”

The curriculum is thorough, intentional, and insightful. The team of mentors and teachers are phenomenal and compassionately guide you to become a stronger coach.

The community of peers will become your greatest support as you pursue your coaching journey.

After completing this program, I feel so grounded, confident, and supported as a coach. I am already seeing the benefits for myself and my clients."

“This program stood out to me because I knew I would walk away with a solid coaching foundation that was rooted in ethics and integrity. I also would be given ample time to practice my skills under the mentorship of some incredible teachers.”

If you’re looking for a coaching certification, this is the one!

I was drawn to life coaching because of the difference I’d seen it make in my own life. I had been looking at different certifications but none of them felt right. When I discovered this certification, it felt like a full-body “yes”.

This program stood out to me because I knew I would walk away with a solid coaching foundation that was rooted in ethics and integrity. I also would be given ample time to practice my skills under the mentorship of some incredible teachers.

One of my favorite parts of the program is the peer coaching, where I get to coach and be coached by my fantastic colleagues. I’ve learned so much about myself both as a coach and a person. I also love the retreats! Seeing everyone on screen, learning together, hearing everyone share confirms I’m in the right space for this learning and expansion.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that participating in the Wholehearted Coaching Certification changed my life.  In fact, It’s probably an understatement.”

The deep, felt, sense of alignment I now experience in my work.  The tools and strategies I have learned to coach myself and my clients through challenges.  The community of incredible people I’m now connected to. The way of approaching coaching and my business from a decolonized lens.  This space has felt like coming home to myself.

CHRISSY CHARD

“I would absolutely recommend this certification for anyone who wants to strengthen their ability to coach clients from diverse backgrounds in an ethical way.”

As a queer Black woman, I wanted to become a leadership coach because I am passionate about revolutionizing what the C-Suite looks like.

I love that this program gives you a terrific grounding in the fundamentals of coaching and the best practices to be an ethical coach.  I was also blown away by  the expertise, advice, and knowledge that the our teachers and guest speakers shared.

“Anyone considering joining this program should just do it.”

This certification isn't simply about learning tools and having more techniques to use. It’s about how you move in this world. It’s about how you create spaces where people feel empowered to be their fullest selves

My skills as a coach are so much sharper because of this certification. Things that I did naturally, I now see as gifts and don't take them for granted. Not only that, I'm now better equipped to use my natural gifts better.

I chose the Wholehearted Coaching Certification because it reflects my deepest values. Learning to coach from a decolonized lens means that I can support folks to live a fully authentic, and centered life.

I often found myself being the “go to” person for loved ones and even people I just met. I was a sounding board for their life’s up and downs. It’s always felt natural for me to hold space and support people in being seen without judgment.

To be honest, I was hesitant to join because I didn’t feel like I was well-equipped enough to become a coach. But I knew I had to take this leap, I knew this certification would help me become the coach I desired to be.

I chose the Wholehearted Coaching Certification because it reflects my deepest values. Learning to coach from a decolonized lens means that I can support folks to live a fully authentic, and centered life. Our mentors in the program continually root us coaches on, and provide us the space to trust our inner-knowing and honor our own growth.

The community I’ve found in the Certification has been one of my favorite parts of the program. This includes both the staff and my fellow colleagues. This coaching program is truly one of its kind and is changing the culture of coaching.

“I have healed immensely because of this certification.  It has been one of the best gifts I have ever given myself .”

I had researched a lot of coaching programs and this certification stood out to me because it was the only program that centered and uplifted people of the global majority.  I was excited to join but to be honest, was worried that I wouldn’t have the time to commit as a full-time working single mom.

I have healed immensely because of this certification.  It has been one of the best gifts I have ever given myself.   The incredibly beautiful and amazing impact of this program is difficult to put into words.

What I loved most about the program was learning how to prioritize a decolonized approach with clients, and the trauma-informed approach.  I also now have an incredible community of coaches and peers many of whom have become close friends.

I have so much love and gratitude to Shirin, the other mentors and her team.  This program is already making a huge difference in people’s lives.

This certification has helped increase my confidence as a coach, but more importantly, it has deepened my own journey of self-discovery. I’m more in tune with my intuition and more committed to living and coaching in a way that’s true to who I am!

I joined this program after completing another coaching certification that I felt was lacking.  I chose the Wholehearted Coaching Certification because it aligned with my values of inclusivity, authenticity, and empowerment.  It was a program with heart, one that emphasized deep, meaningful connections and a decolonized approach to coaching that honored the unique journeys of every individual.

One of my favorite learnings has been the idea that we don’t need to "fix" ourselves, but rather embrace and grow from where we are.  This certification taught me that true transformation comes from a place of acceptance, not pressure.

If you’re thinking about joining, do it! This certification will not only equip you with powerful tools and techniques but will also transform the way you see yourself and others. It’s a journey of growth, connection, and profound learning that’s absolutely worth taking.

COACH NANE

Participating in the Wholehearted Coaching Certification Program has been nothing short of transformative for me, both personally and professionally

Through Shirin’s guidance, I gained profound insights into my personal development that have empowered me to approach life with greater clarity and compassion. Her unique blend of wisdom and inclusive coaching tools has also been a game changer for my business, equipping me with the skills to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for my clients.

But the impact doesn’t stop there. I’ve found these tools invaluable in my family relationships as well, helping me navigate communication and connection in a more thoughtful and loving way. This program has truly transformed how I show up in every aspect of my life. I cannot recommend this certification highly enough!
