This Certificate Course, designed for coaching over the phone or in person, will provide in-depth training for coaches in any niche to enhance and deepen their coaching skills. You will develop expertise in accessing the nonverbal dimension that exists in all interactions and communications.

Using Body-Mind Life Coaching™ tools, coaches will learn ways to work with the powerful messages of the body. It is said that the body never lies. Through habitual ways of thinking, acting and feeling, there is often a disconnection between the mind and body.

The main goal of this course is to teach skills and techniques for working with the fertile ground and wisdom of the body to help bridge the body-mind gap. Additionally, you will gain advanced understanding and practice in the many ways you can uncover, utilize and work with the information from the body.

The materials for the course will acquaint you with the fields of "Somatics" and "Body Therapy," which provide the foundation for Body-Mind Life Coaching™. The instructor has written a 225-page manual, filled with articles, references and specific papers on the Body-Mind Life Coaching™ Process.

The course content will focus on learning how to access the language of the body by paying attention to presence, physical sensations, breath, voice, posture, and unconscious habit patterns. Readings, discussion, class experiments, cases, role-plays, demonstration sessions, personal exploration and buddy work will provide different ways to work with non-verbal content. The techniques of ‘pausing’, ‘noticing’ and ‘practicing’ will be used to create and deepen awareness and forward the action.

In addition, halfway through the training, you will have the opportunity to coach a client who has volunteered to come into the class. Supervision and discussion immediately afterwards provides opportunities for self-assessment to increase awareness and to deepen learning in a safe and supportive environment. Role-plays will also provide opportunities to practice the skills and tools, using a co-coaching training model.

Examples of ways to use the body as an avenue to gain information to shift perspectives, explore possibilities and affirm the rightness of choices will be explored in depth, as you learn how to hone your skills in the last half of the course.

Course Objectives:

  • To learn how to bridge the body-mind gap through body awareness and mindfulness experiments.
  • To understand the universal application of Body-Mind Life Coaching™ skills in all forms of coaching.
  • To understand the importance of breath and various ways to work with breathing in coaching.
  • To experiment with different skills and exercises to access the language of the body.
  • To understand when and how to use body-mind skills and techniques with clients.
  • To learn embodied listening and attunement skills.
  • To practice skills through role-plays and the opportunity to coach a volunteer client.
  • To develop proficiency in integrating the Body-Mind Life Coaching™ process into your coaching style.

Body-Mind Life Coaching™ Specialist Certificate:
This certificate will provide you with advanced training in the ever-growing and popular fields of Wellness Coaching and Body Focused Coaching. Other coaching specialties, such as, Executive Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Career and Life Transitions Coaching and coach training and mentoring, can be enhanced through developing proficiency in this approach.

Required Manual: ($60.00) is ordered directly from Dr. Lauree Moss. You may contact her at 310-828-0234.

Instructor:
Dr. Lauree E. Moss brings to life coaching over 35 years of experience as a psychotherapist and a teacher of body-mind work. She has been adjunct faculty at the Institute for Life Coach Training for the last several years. For the last 20 years, she has been a core faculty instructor at the Institute of Integrative Body Psychotherapy in Venice, CA., where she teaches psychotherapists, coaches and allied health practitioners how to integrate body, mind, and spirit into their work.

For more information, you can go to her websites: www.needtotalk.tv/moss.htm, www.body-mindlifecoachinginstitute.com.

Lauree Moss is an incredible coach and teacher, whose background, education and style of teaching is inspiring and motivating. She has a rich history in mind/body work, has brought that framework into coaching, and designed a fantastic course around it, so we coaches can use a mind/body focus with our clients when appropriate. I believe this to be some of the most valuable work I do in my coaching. I have taken two of her mind/body courses and loved them both. - Michelle K. Rios, MA, PCC, Igniting Excellence Coaching

This highly interactive, user-friendly class will help you learn the research ropes and use them to bring your practice to a new level; as well as provide you with what you need to learn: how to do basic research; how to read between the lines to tell what's good work and what is blue smoke and mirrors.

Research is the key to good marketing – and good practice! Find out what works, and what does not. Never be intimidated by jargon again — "hard" science research can be easy too. As clients become more sophisticated those who can operate in the research arena have the performance edge.

Mastering research concepts gives you a razor-sharp way of thinking. Remember learning the difference between listening and Active Listening? There is a similar leap with thinking and active, research-savvy informed thinking.

  • Know what to include in your proposals,
  • Do it with the clients,
  • Possess a different set of skills to help you assess the lectures and trainings you attend.

High energy - interactive, with hands-on application.

The Certification Training will provide in-depth personal experience and practical knowledge of the Wellness Inventory change process as well as a unique coaching skill-set to maximize the program’s effectiveness in creating change in your clients’ lives. The goal of the course is to create competence in delivering the program to both individual and organizational coaching clients.

The Wellness Inventory is an online assessment and life-balance tool that focuses on the whole person in 12 key dimensions of wellness. A powerful tool for coaches, the Wellness Inventory is an advanced version of the life wheel (coaching mandala), and provides invaluable insight into your client and as well as a framework or "organizing principle" within which to work.

Participants will gain proficiency in working with clients with the 12 part wellness wheel (Wellness Energy System) via an ongoing exploration of the wellness wheel as a dynamic hologram of interdependent elements. The process of working with the Wellness Wheel helps to develop greater coherence in your personal life and teaches you how to use this "whole person" process in your coaching to facilitate greater coherence in your clients’ lives.

From a marketing and business perspective, you will learn strategies for using the Wellness Inventory to:

  • Create a wellness dimension in your practice
  • Quickly determine client's "change readiness" in each dimension of wellness
  • Create a framework for ongoing wellness coaching
  • Build your practice and increase client retention
  • Create new profit centers
  • Work with individuals, groups and organizations

The Wellness Inventory was created over 30 years ago by John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H , one of the founders of the modern wellness movement. Dr. Travis opened the first Wellness Center in the U.S. in 1975 and created the Wellness Inventory as an intake tool for the center. Earlier, while at Johns Hopkins and the National Public Health Service, Dr. Travis was a protégé of Dr. Louis Robbins, creator of the HRA (Health Risk Appraisal). Unlike the HRA which is a diagnostic tool to determine health risk, the Wellness Inventory is primarily an educational tool that focuses on the whole person. The online version of the Wellness Inventory was created by HealthWorld Online in collaboration with Dr. Travis.

ICF Credit: 28 hours continuing education credit. 28 hours towards portfolio certification.

INSTRUCTORS:

Bobbie Burdett was a co-creator of the first wellness center in the U.S. in 1975 with John W. Travis, M.D. She co-developed the wellness coaching process for the center and has been coaching for the past 30 years. In the process, she has developed an unparalleled depth of understanding of the Wellness Inventory. A lifelong learner, she has studied many aspects of wellness for nearly 40 years, and has been instrumental in honing and updating the assessment and commentaries of the Wellness Inventory.

Jim Strohecker is CEO and co-founder of HealthWorld Online (www.healthy.net), the world's first Internet network for wellness and complementary/alternative medicine, and co-creator of the Wellness Inventory assessment and life-balance program (www.WellPeople.com) and certification training. He has co-authored five books, including Natural Healing for Depression: Solutions from the World's Great Health Traditions and Practitioners (Perigee, 1999), and has collaborated on over 20 titles in the fields of natural health, psychology, human potential, yoga, meditation, and world spiritual traditions. He has served on the numerous boards, including the President's Advisory Council for Bastyr University and the Board of Trustees of the American University of Complementary Medicine
