Holistic Coach Training Institute Mission

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.
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."
