Enrol Now for June!

What if your job isn't to fix, advise, or lead. But to create space where people access their own deepest knowing?

You've probably felt this gap. Between what you're able to do and what you sense is possible.

The coaching approaches that cognitively should make sense but don't quite settle in your body. Or the session you drive away from wondering: did that actually reach them?

Most people, even trained coaches and therapists, carry the weight of knowing what their client needs. We think our job is to have the answers, guide the process, know what's best.

But what if the opposite is true?

What if lasting transformation happens when you invite change rather than force it? When you hold space and use Soul-based Coaching skills that are so powerful that people can access their own inner wisdom. And heal, grow, and transform in real time.

Soul-based Coaching is grounded in neuroscience and rooted in something much older: the understanding that every human being carries within them everything they need to thrive. Your role isn't to give them what's missing, it's to create the conditions where their own wisdom can emerge.

In a world where so much feels unstable, this way of supporting people offers something real.

Not surface-level. Not borrowed from a framework or generated by an algorithm. Transformation that reaches the body, and lasts.

What people need is your presence and permission to access their own wisdom. Facilitation that honours their innate capacity to heal and grow. Not to be told what to do.

Soul-based Coaching isn't about what you know. It's about who you are and how you show up.

When you learn to hold space from this place, when you learn to trust the intelligence that lives within every person, you become a midwife for transformation. Not the expert with the answers, but the presence that makes the seemingly impossible possible.

And something else happens that most coaches don't expect.

The work nourishes you too. When you hold space from this place, something opens — a restorative state, backed by neuroscience, that replenishes both you and the person you're with.

And whether or not you choose to continue and become a professional Soul-based Coach, this paradigm will transform every relationship in your life.

This is a masterfully created safe container that encourages depth and a knowing of ourselves. I learned how to hold space so that it allows people to access their deepest wisdom, and experience more freedom and aliveness in all areas of their lives. The group became so close that it gave me lasting friendships. This is a way of coaching that will be with me for life! I recommend this course for anyone who wants to be a facilitator of change. What a refreshing way of being in the world!

- Stacey S.

Transformative for me personally and as a life coach

I gained additional perspective on the range of possibilities for coaching as a profession. And I realised that coaching can be yet another way to apply a spiritual outlook on life to build a better world. And the community I found here has been inspiring and a great pleasure to work with and learn from!

- Eric L. Hicks, Sr., Life Coach

This Foundation Training is for you if you're...

Longing to do meaningful work but feel turned off by traditional coaching approaches that feel manipulative, cookie-cutter, or misaligned with your values, and/or

A helping professional (therapist, social worker, teacher, healthcare provider) seeking a way to support clients that honours their agency and innate wisdom, or

A leader who wants to create teams where people feel safe to bring their whole selves, take risks, and tap into their deepest potential, or

A parent who wants to support your kids without trying to fix their problems, or just

Sensing there's a better way to show up for people: one rooted in presence, trust, that supports embodied transformation

When you're done with:

  • Trying to have all the answers
  • Carrying responsibility for other people's problems
  • Helping approaches that feel hollow, manipulative, or misaligned

When you're ready for:

  • A paradigm where transformation comes from within the person you're supporting
  • Skills that work with the body, the nervous system, and the soul's deep knowing
  • A way of being with people that feels grounded, powerful, and true
  • Skills that help you and the people you want to support navigate the intensity of our times with grace, resilience and embodied presence

If you've been longing for this, and wondering if it's even possible, let us show you.

What the shift looks and feels like, from two people who came in from very different places

 
Jenny was already a thriving relationship coach when she found Soul-based Coaching.
 
"I’ve completely changed the style of my coaching. It is so easeful and restful, nourishing to me as a coach, and as importantly, to my clients. The transformation happens more deeply, more quickly, and certainly more effectively."   

~ Jenny Ella de Luca
 
Véronique wasn’t sure coaching was even her path. Eight weeks later, she knew.
 
"I had issues with a lot of how coaching worked, especially with the idea of a coach, knowing better than the client. I joined, because I wanted to see whether Soul-based Coaching was my modality.
 It was only eight weeks, but it felt like a lifetime in terms of the shifts that happened.
The biggest thing was really leaning into the holding space and realising how much actually happens."   

~  Véronique van Gelderen 

Embody the Foundational

Soul-based Coaching Paradigm in 8 weeks

This isn't technique-heavy. It is a paradigm shift, a complete reorientation of how you show up for people.

It's also deeply practical. You'll learn skills you can use immediately. Skills rooted in how the nervous system heals, how transformation actually happens, and how to work with the wisdom that lives in every human being.

 

Here's what you'll learn:


Week 1

Holding Space

Become fully present without interfering, fixing, or leading. Create a sacred container where transformation can happen, and understand why this skill is our foundation.


Week 2

Invite Soul-Knowing

The people you support already have everything they need. Learn how to invite that wisdom. Without imposing your own agenda, without leading from your assumptions.


Week 3

Doorway into Soul-based Change

Discover the gateway that shows up in every conversation, and tap into its power for real-time transformation. With it, you can invite soul-knowing for everyone.


Week 4

Help People Find Their Gold

Get out of the way so people can access the NEW that wants to be born. Not what you (or they) think they need, but what their soul is longing for. This is where magic happens.


Week 5

Riding the Waves of Shakti

Transformation isn't linear. Learn to hold a firm riverbed for people's process while allowing the natural twists and turns. Trusting that the river knows where it's going, and can finally show its full power!


Week 6

Boundary Magic

Crystal clear boundaries help the coach and the client. You learn to see what boundaries make embodied transformation possible. Become a midwife for change, step out of the way and stay on the edge!


Plus: 2 Integration Weeks

Practice, deepen and embody what you've learned. Discover how to apply these skills in your current work and life. See how the paradigm shows up everywhere, and how it changes everything.

The set up that makes this training so effective 

 

We only train in small cohorts, with real practice, and space to notice and reflect on what's emerging in you.

You have direct access to your trainers throughout (not a chat window in a Zoom room with hundreds of other participants).

So that there's space for your questions, your process, and your growth.

This Isn't Just Coaching skills Training. It's a Way of Being.

 

What you'll gain:

  1. The paradigm shift: From expert to midwife, from doing to being, from leading to following what wants to emerge. Not a new technique, but a completely different relationship with what it means to help.

  2. Presence and holding space: Learning to be with someone in their pain, confusion, or uncertainty without reaching in to fix it. And discovering what opens up when you don't.

  3. Soul-based Coaching skills: The tools to invite someone into their own inner landscape and witness what emerges. Because the answers were never yours to give. They were always already there, waiting.

  4. Trust in emergence: Letting go of the need to know what should happen, and finding that what wants to happen is more surprising, more true, and more lasting than anything you could have directed.

  5. Embodied awareness: Learning to read what's happening in your own body as information, and to follow that as much as any question or framework.

  6. A way of working that nourishes you too: When you stop performing and start being present within the Soul-based Coaching process, the work itself becomes a source of replenishment. Sessions leave you energised rather than depleted.

  7. Integration across life domains: This paradigm doesn't just transform coaching sessions. It shows up in how you parent, how you lead, how you move through difficult conversations, how you hold the people you love.

This training prepares you beautifully for the Soul-based Coach Certification Program if that path calls to you. Many people complete Foundation and realise: this is the work I was born to do.

Others find the paradigm transforms their life and their work. And that's exactly enough.

 

My patients don’t want my solutions – they want healing 

“I now know how to open the field for transformation with my medical clients, and no longer feel that they want me to give them a solution. It gives so much relief! I’m thankful every day.” 

- Dr. Monika Lucia Steiner-März


No pushing – which makes everything possible

“Often coaching pushes me in a direction I don’t feel is right. This doesn’t. It is a safe space, loving, and accepting everything. And that opens it all up.”

- Maria Munster

Foundation or Certification,

what's the Difference?

Common pathways for our students: 

  • Jump straight into Certification after this Foundation Training  - when you know you are ready
  • Integrate 6 - 12 months, then join Certification when it's your time
  • Foundation is enough. The paradigm transforms your life, and that's all you want.

 

Tuition bonus 

We do want to make the decision to start with our Foundation Training an easy one, so when you decide to join Certification:

  • Within 6 months of finishing Activate, your full tuition for Activate will roll over to your Invoke tuition.
  • After 6 months of finishing Activate, 50% of your tuition will roll over to your Invoke tuition. 
  • When you have enroled in Activate with a Personal Mentoring package, you always roll over 100% of your Activate tuition into your Invoke tuition.

 

Important: Foundation training alone does not qualify you to coach clients professionally (unless you have other therapeutic or coaching credentials). If you want to practice as a Soul-based Coach, Certification is the path.

 

I want to join!

Why this investment now.

 

The world is a lot right now. And a lot of us are feeling the weight of it while also trying to show up for the people around us.

These skills were made for exactly this. Not as a strategy for hard times, but because presence, holding space, and trusting someone's own capacity for healing have always been what people need most. The intensity of the world right now just makes that more visible.

What you learn here will change how you show up with people. How deeply they feel held. How readily they access their own wisdom. And how lasting their transformation becomes because of it.

And right now, that matters more than ever.

“I’m an intuitive guide and just finished a different year long coaching program, but hadn’t started coaching yet. It didn’t feel right. This course has been a game changer, because it fits with who I am. And I’ve honestly had the biggest shift I’ve had in years, allowing me to create space for me to really be guided by my soul. It has opened up my dream life and I am so excited!”  

- Julliette Reynolds, Intuitive Guide

I’m blown away by the incredible transformation I am noticing in my own body and being and I am very impressed with the results I am getting using what I learned in my work as a therapist.”

- Aneesa V., Therapist

ENROL NOW

I felt I wasn’t ‘there yet’ and I felt restless in my coaching practice. 

These 8-weeks truly enriched and nourished me in a compassionate and subtle approach. Far from other coaching approaches I have learned, it is different and so needed. I highly recommend this course for coaches, healers and anyone working in the helping profession. The embodied experience stays and radiates beautiful rays of energy that the world needs and craves. And I can fully give now because I have replenished myself. I am really happy I took this course.

- Sharifah Raudhah Alqudsy, leadership coach

My learning has been put to the test

I feel very grateful for the ways you interpreted and explained everything. Meandering into the yin zone has been enlightening and revealing of self perception, of vibration and of source. And after a year, the training, particularly the deep listening, has been put to the test in my pastoral and spiritual care for people in retirement as well as in psychiatric wards and I am very grateful for the scope it has given me in my role. 

Rev. Roland Lee, Interfaith Minister
