"Prevention is better than Cure"

How we think, feel, see and engage with the world affects our cellular biology, or put simply, our overall health. The Professional Certificate of Holistic Wellness Coaching will equip graduates to work collaboratively with clients to engage and maintain an effective, lasting personal wellness program that is focused on a holistic approach on staying well and avoiding illness.

A Wellness Course that Facilitates Valuable Self-Development & Expansion

In today's world, we not only need more empathy, kindness, collaboration and other positive qualities but view that those qualities can be developed within each person.

This holistic health focused qualification will provide graduates with the tools to create a more positive, less stressful, healthier, happier and fulfilling life and will equip and motivate you on how to inspire others to lead a life focused on staying well and avoiding illness.

Wellness is more than being healthy through eating well and exercise. It is creating a growth mindset, engaging in positive emotional practices & simple but effective 'focussed' practices, ultimately making long-term beneficial changes on several spheres of one's life.

A Wellness Coach supports clients on their journey to health and wellness by being a source of encouragement and accountability, through deep listening and incisive questioning, eliciting a client’s inner strengths and resources, goal setting, and unconditional positive regard, a Wellness Coach partners with clients to identify and achieve their goals through on-going support and motivation.

The benefits of coaching include increased focus, firm goals, independence, confidence and a better ability to communicate wants and needs.

Not only will you learn how to coach clients, you will learn a lot about yourself which is essential to being a well-informed empathetic and successful wellness coach. Along your journey you will be stimulated by your new found knowledge, meet like-minded people, and be equipped to start a new fulfilling career that will provide powerful and lasting benefits to others.
