Life & Wellness Coach Certification

Our Life & Wellness Coach Certification is an online coach training program delivered over 20 weeks and qualifies for 65 coaching education hours required for ICF credentialing. Classes are held in weekly 2-hour live Zoom sessions in small cohorts to foster connection and deep engagement.

You’ll also complete 10 hours of group and individual mentoring, along with observation clinics and peer-coaching practicums. These components are designed to ensure you not only develop strong coaching skills but also meet the requirements to confidently apply for the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential.

The Life & Wellness Coach Certification is built on over 30,000 hours of coaching, mentoring, and research, creating a strong, evidence-based program. At the heart of the training is the THRIVE Coaching Model, a practical framework that guides meaningful conversations and helps clients create lasting positive change.

This certification is tailored for individuals drawn to depth in personal transformation — those who are naturally curious about people, often sought for advice, and driven by a desire to empower others.

It's also ideal for people who value learning rooted in psychological theory and coaching practice, delivered in a format that blends structure with experiential exploration.

Graduates are equipped with the coaching skills to work with anyone, supporting clients in a wide range of areas such as life transitions, stress management, health and wellness goals, confidence building, and overall well-being.

The tools and frameworks you’ll learn are versatile, allowing you to coach clients one-on-one, in groups, or even within organizations.

Graduates go on to launch independent coaching practices, integrate coaching into existing careers in health or education, or work within organizations that support employee wellness and leadership development. Because the program is ICF-accredited, you’ll also be positioned to continue training toward advanced ICF credentials (PCC or MCC) if you wish to specialize further.

Plan for about 3–5 hours per week. This includes the 2-hour live class, peer coaching practice, mentoring sessions, and light review or preparation. The program is designed to be manageable alongside work and personal commitments.

No prior background is required. The program is designed to teach you the foundational coaching skills needed to support clients in life and wellness contexts. The curriculum provides all the tools, models, and practice opportunities you need, regardless of your professional background.

Confidence comes from practice and feedback. Throughout the program, you’ll coach peers, observe live demonstrations, and receive constructive input from mentors. By the end of the certification, you’ll have coached real people in structured settings, giving you both experience and reassurance that you can coach effectively in the real world.

You’ll receive 10 hours of ICF-required mentoring, delivered in both group and individual formats. Mentors are experienced, ICF-credentialed coaches who observe your coaching, give personalized feedback, and help you strengthen your skills. This mentoring ensures you’re not just practicing, but improving with the guidance of seasoned professionals.
