I had the great experience of being ICF and holistically trained by The Holistic Coach Institute. I highly recommend this platform to anyone seeking a coaching certificate. It made all the difference in the world to my effectiveness as a coach, a spiritual intuitive, and a business owner.

As someone who defies the "one-and-only" standard learning recipe, I'm so glad that I did my ACC training with HCTI and the supportive cohort that Bev curated. We had a safe space to practice and listen to each other learning to apply the fundamental coaching framework, and I finished the program feeling like a much stronger coach and knowing what I'm doing - not just minute by minute in client sessions, but also how I'm developing holistically as a coach who holds space for others and for myself.

From my first interaction through the entire experience, HCTI felt like a “meant to be” fit and the right place to invest in myself. I enrolled in Level 1 (notably, with zero pressure or selling) and found it so rewarding that I went on to complete Level 2. The program is professional, thorough, practical, and deeply relevant. I gained valuable tools and resources, and had meaningful opportunities to practice while receiving thoughtful feedback and encouragement. The holistic approach deepened both the learning and the overall experience. An added bonus was connecting weekly with high-caliber humans also committed to growth. If your next chapter is leading you in this direction, I highly recommend starting here.

Holistic Life Coaching Training Institute provided me with transformative knowledge, a supportive community, and invaluable resources that helped me align with my life’s purpose. What stands out most is the personal growth I experienced simply by showing up to class; each session was a step toward deeper self-awareness and empowerment.

Searching for an ICF accredited training program was so overwhelming for me! I somehow stumbled into this program and it was life changing. If you are looking for an in-depth program where you will grow personally and professionally AND leave with everything you need to pursue ICF certification - look no further! Book a Discovery Call and see if it fits your needs. Enjoy the journey!

The Holistic Coach training program was life changing on a number of levels for me. It brought a new perspective and approach to all the conversations and relationships in my life as well as any healing modality I step into. It not only has provided an amazing framework for coaching, but a framework for stepping outside of the ego and focusing on other's magnificence. I will utilize the skills I learned in this course for any healing modality I venture into. Thank you Bev for this wonderful blessing you have created. <3

I finish HCCP with Beverly. It was an amazing experience. Good teaching methods, allow you to have your unique journey. After this experience, I became a different person. I slowed down, my vocabulary changed, and my level of confidence changed. I learned to listen to other people and keep space for them. I truly recommend it!

I truly enjoyed the Holistic Coach Certification Advanced Training Program. The program's design, which breaks the 37 markers into bite-sized learning pieces, deepens understanding through discussion, application, and feedback, cultivates an open, safe, and explorative learning atmosphere, and, most importantly, features the instructor's absolute loving presence, was excellent. Working towards ICF credentialing would have been a very tough process if I hadn't joined this training program and received all the wonderful support! This experience is truly igniting, inspiring, and nurturing. I highly recommend it to any life coaches who wish to advance their coaching skills and proceed with ICF credentials.

The way Bev guides you through the process is second to none. I've been in other coaching programs but have never felt so held during the process. No question goes unanswered and I always felts heard during the group sessions. The feedback given by her and Gage is constructive and provided in a caring and loving way. If you want to be a Holistic Coach and feel nothing but love and support during the process - this is the program for you!

I have engaged with Beverly at HCTI in multiple ways, and can whole-heartedly recommend her certification program as well as her coaching services. I wasn't searching for an ICF-approved coach certification when Bev reached out to me from a previous association. Having been a self-employed health coach previously, I knew my next step would involve the ICF as opposed to a certification offered via an individual or higher education. Beverly led me through her certification program in 2020, and I have remained connected with her community since I graduated. There were opportunities for learning, growth, collaboration, peer coaching and more under her program. Since then, I have written blogs and delivered presentations for her group of holistic coaches from all across the globe. She is very collaborative and inviting in her approach. Even more powerfully, she attracts a wide variety of professionals- from higher education to entrepreneurs to government employees. The benefits of learning from this incredible cross-section of folks cannot be overstated. In 2023, I coached privately with Beverly. Never have I felt more seen and acknowledged. This is despite having worked with many coaches over the course of the last decade! She truly demonstrates the best of what this industry strives to be, and I am proud to have been mentored by her. If you are considering adding coaching skills to your career, especially one that follows internationally recognized standards, I highly recommend the HCTI. The program was value-packed, paced appropriately for someone working full-time hours, and led to many rich partnerships. If you have an opportunity to coach privately with Beverly, you will receive an experience that will enrich both your personal and professional life.

Attended a program last year and I am returning for more! Beverly’s compassionate leadership and power of example create an optimal environment for learning how to coach the whole person in a safe and gentle way. I can truly recommend this academy for anyone looking to be a coach, facilitate self-transformation and cultivate a whole new way of being and communicating.

I am thoroughly impressed by this course! It superseded my expectations by a landslide! Every aspect of the learning experience has had benefits. The ongoing support has been invaluable and the coaching principles taught in class were easy to learn and delivered in a way that made it easy to adapt to. My personal growth through the course and in large part because of it, has to receive a mention as well. I was also impressed by the materials provided to start my business - actual gold! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in finding key principles to be able to help people and really see growth in themselves. Thanks for all the learnings Bev! I can't wait to explore what the future has in store!

The Holistic Coach Program at Holistic Coach Training Institute (HCTI) was a wonderful experiential program rich in education, learning and opportunities for growth on every level. The support I received from Beverly Sartain and the members of my cohort was unwavering. Most importantly, the teachings and learnings at HCTI reflect my strong belief that conscious, positive transformation (even as a coach) begins with the individual. This is embodied and woven throughout the entire program. I highly recommend!!!

Not only will you become a confident coach by training with them, Beverly and Richard Sartain provide a nurturing and safe environment where students gain important insights and make huge internal shifts. The learning experiences they provide offer opportunities for both personal and professional growth.

Let me take this opportunity to full endorse the Holistic Coach Training Institute. I have complete two Certification Programs with the Institute because challenging myself and learning from other disciplines outside my area of expertise is where the growth opportunities occur. Through Beverly's fantastic programs, I’ve received challenge, support and encouragement to consider the possibilities of where my coaching can go- even as a veteran coach. With Beverly's coaching and mentoring, I feel like I’ve grown my practice, well holistically!, and was lucky enough to gain this wonderful, unexpected, bonus of 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.

I started the Holistic Coach Training during the summer of 2020. At the risk of sounding cheesy it was one of the best professional and personal decisions I have made in my life...and I'm almost 50! What started as an extra credential became a life altering adventure. This program embodies its mission. Bev and her team create a container for growth, learning and thriving through the holistic lens. If all you want is an excellent training with opportunities for getting credentials, this program will do that for you. Get ready though...more than your resume will be transformed! ;)

I would give this rating a billion stars if I could. What an incredible experience it was to take a course here and to learn from Beverley Sartain! Bev is a gift to this world (and so is her book, "Transcending Trauma" - highly recommend! It's available on Amazon)...Her teachings will inspire and move you in ways I can't even begin to describe. The course I took was about 6 months long and it was definitely something I was excited for every week. It was soul-nourishing and life-changing to be able to connect with other like-minded individuals and to learn from and heal with one another...I learned so much about myself and what it means to be a great holistic coach and have been able to apply everything I've learned into building my own successful coaching business. If you're reading this review then please take it as a sign that you should SIGN UP with Holistic Coach Training Institute! You will not regret it as I have not.

I completed both the Coach Certificate & Advanced Coach Certificate, and WOW. These programs changed my life in profound ways, all of which have set me up to change others' lives, and that is the most powerful thing I could've asked for. To receive not only the technical education and knowledge behind the actual coaching practice, but also the emotional/spiritual education on how to best be an effective leader in holding space for other people's brilliance was the richest part of the program, not to mention the community of amazing people you connect with throughout the program. I am so grateful for my time here, the journey has been so incredibly fulfilling and enlightening.

I started my journey with the Holistic Coaching Institute in May 2022 and just recently completed my Holistic Coach Certification Training Program. My experience with Bev greatly exceeded any expectations that I had when I started. Not only did Bev prepare us to confidently coach on our own, but she created a supportive and safe environment within our group to take risks, grow as individuals and be vulnerable. I loved the program so much that within a week of completing my certification I signed up to become part of The Legacy Program to continue nurturing my personal growth and coaching skills. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone considering becoming a Holistic Life Coach. This has truly been a life changing experience.

I am incredibly grateful to have taken both the ACC Level 1 and PCC Level 2 Coaching Courses from Beverly Sartain of the Holistic Coach Training Institute. When reflecting on what has made these two courses so impactful, the image of a tree with Bev’s body transposed on top of it comes to mind. Bev is reaching her arms (branches) and splayed fingers (leaves) to the clouds, the cosmos, the universe to represent her connection to the divine. Through this portal and her innate ability to hold space, she provides a container for all of us to discover ourselves. Moving down the tree trunk is Bev’s trunk, and where the stump widens are Bev’s legs, as one foot stands in the “teacher” role and the other in the “coach” role. Her energy weaves effortlessly, subtly dancing between the two. When Bev teaches it’s never from a place of authority or ego, but instead from modeling, embodying, and an authentic sharing of experience and wisdom. When Bev coaches, she demonstrates curiosity and compassion so that we are able to experience increased awareness and growth. She teaches us to coach, and coaches us to teach ourselves how to recognize the opportunity for expansion moving forward. This is all possible because anchoring Bev’s feet to Mother Earth are the principles and paradigms that holistic coaching is rooted in. By holding onto these firmly and lovingly, Bev’s roots have spread to grow other trees (coaches); so as we all look around we realize we are not alone, but part of the forest. Russell Page said, “To plant trees is to give body and life to one's dreams of a better world.” Sincerely thank you, Bev, for following your dream of a better world!
