+ Is this only for spiritual white women?

No way! This training is open to all passionate human beings no matter what your race, belief system, culture, abilities or sexual orientation is. We want everyone to feel safe enough to show up as the fullest expression of themselves in this sacred space.

+ If I already went through a coach training program can I still apply to this training?

Yes! We encourage our students to be students for life as a way to continue improving and refining your coaching skillset. And with every coach training program you decide to invest in you will walk away with having more education, coaching & business skills & tools under your belt plus making new connections and like-minded friends.

+ What if I have a full time job, can I still do this training

Yes! Many of the students entering this training will already have a full or part time day job already. This is why we designed the program to be flexible and can be completed on your own timeline within the 12 months to accomodate other important life commitments.

+ How many students will be in the program?

We like to keep our classroom size intimate in order for our students to get the support they need each week to learn and grow as a coach. There will only be 20 new students accepted at this time.
