The Holistic Approach is Effective in All Areas of Coaching
The Holistic Coach Training Institute supports all types of professional coaches.
Whether you focus on Holistic Coaching, Life Coaching, Spiritual Coaching, Recovery Coaching, Transformational Coaching, Wellness Coaching, Business Coaching, Executive Coaching, Career Coaching, Leadership Coaching, Relationship Coaching or coach on any coaching topics:
The Holistic Coach Certification Programs equip you with the professional holistic coaching skills, experience, and confidence needed to empower the whole person to reach their full potential in all areas of their life encompassing the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.
The ICF perspective on coaching specialization:
"A uniform set of core competencies (the ICF Core Competencies) forms the foundation for coaching, and a general education program equips coaches with the skillsets they need no matter where their careers may take them. If you plan to have a specialization for your coaching career, selecting a program that focuses in this area may help you connect more effectively with a specific audience of potential clients. Many coaches opt not to specialize and have successful careers with a diverse range of clients. If you do wish to specialize, selecting a niche can be most advantageous for more established coaches who have already worked with a wide range of clients and have a desire to focus on one client segment."

Holistic Coach Training Institute Mission
The Holistic Coach Training Institute's mission is to empower professionals to become credentialed coaches so that they can live their highest potential while being of service aligned with their higher purpose.
10 Guiding Principles of Holistic Coaching
1. Transformation happens on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels, taking the whole person into consideration.
2. Holistic Coaching believes that everything rests in a web of interconnectedness.
3. Holistic Coaching focuses on supporting people in moving from coping to healing to thriving.
4. Healing happens in a loving and supportive environment not through judgment, shame or guilt.
5. Holistic coaching is about making changes from the inside out.
6. The overall goal of holistic coaching is to create well-being and fulfillment in all areas of life that are important to you.
7. Holistic coaching offers the opportunity for you to create love, safety and belonging for yourself.
8. Change, healing, transformation are a process not an event.
9. Holistic Coaching helps increase awareness of mind, body and spirit.
10. Holistic Coaching is about finding the tools and techniques that you can enjoy and embody consistently.
Holistic Approach to Coaching
Holistic Coaching is defined as Coach and Coachee partnering together in a thought-provoking, heart-opening, body-aware, and soul-connecting process that empowers the Coachee to realize and actualize their full potential in all areas of their life that are important to them.
Holistic Coaching is not…
Mentoring: The ICF describes a Mentor as "someone who advises a less experienced professional drawing from the mentor’s personal experience. Instead, coaching taps into the inner wisdom of the client to set their own path."
Therapy: The ICF acknowledges that "while therapy addresses mental illness or explores issues from a patient’s past, coaching is solutions-oriented with a focus on the future."
Consulting: The ICF describes a consultant as someone who "advises a person or organization on a strategic approach driven by expertise in a field, whereas a coach is a partner in heightening awareness and clarity to help a client find their own solutions."
Many Professional Coaches do provide mentoring, consulting, and training in addition to their coaching servies.
ICF Accredited Coach Education
An ethical and sustainable professional coaching career starts with professional coach education.
The ICF states that “While anyone could call themselves a coach, there are best practices, core competencies and ethical standards for the profession. Learning about these concepts from an ICF accredited provider will set you up for success. Graduating or receiving credit from an ICF accredited coaching education provider gives you a competitive edge by demonstrating your expertise and professionalism to prospective clients.”

Holistic Coaching Supports The 4 Levels Of Holistic Well-Being
(Provided in the Holistic Coach Certification Program and in the Holistic Coach Certification Program Advanced)
M E N T A L
Resolving any unresolved issues in your consciousness
E M O T I O N A L
Accessing and acknowledging your emotions and energy
S P I R I T UA L
Connecting with a deeper sense of meaning through nature, beliefs or practices
P H Y S I CA L
Embodying a healthy and grounded body
The 4 levels of holistic well-being helps create greater awareness of "the whole person" which supports us inwardly aligning with our outer goals. Creating balance and well-being across all levels sets a stable foundation for us to work on realizing and actualizing our full potential.
The combination of inner and outer action is something that makes holistic coaching different from regular life coaching that tends to be more focused on outer action.
Holistic Coaching considers:
- What do we need to be thinking to reach our goal?
- What do we need to be feeling to reach our goal?
- What do we need to be experiencing spiritually to reach our goal?
- What do we need to be doing physically to reach our goal?
Most people focus on one level versus a combination of levels that will support us in actualizing what we truly want.
Holistic Coaching Empowers "The Whole Person" To Realize and Actualize Their Full Potential In All Areas Of Life
(Provided in the Holistic Coach Certification Program Advanced)
Per the International Coaching Federation, “The who” or “whole person” refers to the client as a human being and could be understood as the client’s internal way of being. For example, when or how the client shows up in their world as a unique human being, informed by their context, identity, environment, experiences, values, beliefs, culture, self-expression, perceptions, gender, nationality, age, ethnicity, spiritual beliefs, etc. that influences or guides the way they: • Think • Create • Relate • Learn • Feel • Value • View their world • Choose to “be” in the world.
In Holistic Coaching, we consider this to be supporting Clients with self-realization. The realization of “who” they are.
Per the International Coaching Federation, “The what” refers to the client’s external way of doing. This could include the client’s: • Goals • Aspirations • Dreams • Challenges • Issues • Gaps • Desired external topic, focus, or goal for this session • Desired internal topic, focus, or goal for this session.
In Holistic Coaching, we consider this to be supporting Clients with self-actualization.

You will walk away with more insight, skills and knowledge than you ever imagined. Bev is a beautiful soul and she is an expert in this field!"
Katrina Hunt
"Do you believe that all people are capable of becoming their highest self? Do you value seeing people holistically--from the body, mind, spirit, and emotional planes? Do you believe in the power of partnership to co-create positive changes for yourself and others? If so and you are considering a becoming a credential-based, ethics-grounded coach, the HCCP is the pathway forward for you."
Dr. Anna Patton
"The Holistic Coach Certification Program has been expertly put together to give you the tools to get you started on your coaching career. Some of the highlights for me were that you get to do coaching practice with a partner which really helps you to develop your skills. The trainer also gives you valuable feedback on your coaching sessions which helps you to identify what to improve on. You're provided with useful scripts which give ready made frameworks for different coaching sessions. In the live sessions, the groups are not too big which makes it nice and intimate. The 6 month format also allows you to do your training whilst continuing with your day job. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting to start a coaching career. This course not only enabled me to become a better coach but also to work on my personal and professional growth. So I learnt a lot about coaching but also about myself."
Peter Greliak
"After one conversation with Beverly, I knew that coaching aligned very well with my desires. It has taken some time for me to fully grasp the magnitude of why Coaching is essential for my life, and who I’m assigned to reach, but thanks to Beverly Sartain, the illumination of those revelations are abundantly clear today. Beverly, a master of presence, has walked me through the hard stuff in order to help me see all the great stuff ahead. I am pleased to introduce myself, my name is Sommer Sade’, Your Champion Coach, boldly stepping into what is mine and empowering you to step into what’s yours. Beverly Sartain is a thinker, innovator, futurist, change agent and a partnership with her is a decision to challenge the status quo and to move the needle in your life towards your dreams, passions and destiny."
Sommer Sade’
"I was a new coach just starting out when I signed up for the Holistic Coach Certification Program with Bev. Although most don’t bother to get certified, it was important for me so that I was able to provide the most effective coaching space possible. This program fits the bill in two ways: It is ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited. And, it covered core competencies, ethics, and standards in multiple learning modalities. I am now the Founder & Owner of Modern Alchemy Coaching, LLC where I co-create with those who are stuck in overwhelm in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires maximization of their personal and professional potential. Personally, I have found the most sacred relationships with Bev and peers of my cohort; where my love and respect were reflected back in equal measure. I celebrate the life I’ve built as a result of my learnings."
Connie Jackson
"I joined the Holistic Coach Certification Program because challenging myself and learning from other disciplines outside my area of expertise is where the growth opportunities occur. Through this fantastic program I’ve received challenge, support and encouragement to consider the possibilities of where my coaching can go- even as a veteran coach. Though I’ve been career coaching for some time, I signed up for the Holistic Coach Certification Program to show up for myself so I can continue to show up for others. I feel like I’ve achieved that plus the wonderful, unexpected, bonus of gaining a coaching community I can celebrate my wins with and coach through my challenges in a loving and guided way. Thank you Beverly, Richard and everyone else who makes the Holistic Coaching Institute what it is! You’re doing life-changing work and those around you see it, feel and are touched by it."
Nadia Ibrahim-Taney
"Beverly is a trainer and coach of the highest integrity. I recently completed her certified holistic coach training. Not only did Beverly provide impactful training and highly relevant documentation to review and chart our progress, but she also proctored numerous opportunities to practice our coaching skills. I especially appreciated the ability to work throughout the program with a coaching partner. The feedback I received on my coaching competencies helped me approach coaching in a holistic way. I highly recommend connecting with Beverly as the BEST resource for coach certification that is also approved by the International Coaching Federation. This is not just education- this is hands-on application of concepts which can be used in numerous industries and niches, with employers or as a business owner."
Jenn Espinosa-Goswami
I’m so impressed with Bev’s coaching philosophy and ability to hold space, coach, and lovingly help me identify my limiting beliefs. I’m so glad to have a role model like her in my business and life! It’s only about a month in, and I’m already experiencing massive shifts in my confidence and business. I wasn’t expecting that. Trust your gut. If it’s telling you to, do it. Almost everyone in my cohort has mentioned how they listened to their intuition, went for it, and are so glad they did. I’m one of those people, and I know this coaching program will be one of the reasons my business will be successful and impact countless people. My favorite part has been having a coaching partner & listening to others coach. It’s hands-on and very experiential!
Becca Rich
"Do it! Join! This program helped me realize my full potential and my true passion in life which is helping others help themselves through a holistic approach. This program not only teaches you but guides you through the coaching process and experience. Being coached was a different experience for me. It really allowed me to come out of my shell and it helped bring back my spirituality. Beverly has been nothing but supportive and patient."
Jennifer Henriquez
“Before I started the Holistic Coach Certification Program, I felt stuck, uncertain about my life, wondering if I would ever be able to start my own business. I dwelt in negativity and self-doubt. Since participating in the program, I am experiencing the enlightenment of growth in many areas of my life, such as self-worth, confidence, and love. This experience continues to influence ideas within me, to encompass the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing as one entity.”
Janice Hagans-Higgins
“Before I started Beverly's program, I couldn't even call myself a Coach. Now I proudly say, I'm a Spiritual Life Coach. I am serving my purpose as a Spiritual Life Coach because of Beverly Sartain and her Coaching Development program. She preaches what she practices. And, it was important to me to learn from someone who is also doing it so well. I had no idea I would learn as much as I have, and grow and evolve in ways I never thought possible. Beverly is always there for support and is a life-changing Coach and Mentor.”
