Holistic simply means “holism” or being “whole”. You can think of it as enhancing personal development from a multi-directional approach. In a holistic perspective, we view the person as a complete being, rather than an individual who may have an unresolved challenge. When we view ALL possible contributions to the current state, a better and more comprehensive resolution is created.

How will I get clients for my coaching business?

This is actually much easier than you may be thinking right now. Here are some examples: Facebook is an excellent resource. An account is free and building a fan page takes less than 5 minutes. You can advertise to very specific groups of people who want and need your services. Of course, you can also use Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and your other favorite social media platforms.  It’s 100% FREE. Create and post a press release about your business launch. It’s simple and free to syndicate your press releases across the web. Creating a blog for your business is very fast and essentially free. We have resources for your online marketing needs here. You can make training/coaching videos and post them to Youtube. When you offer this valuable free help, people get to know you and learn to like you. In return, they want to know more and they are directed back to your Facebook fan page or blog for details.  Of course, you can post your videos to all video sites for an even greater reach. Adding your business to Yelp is also a great idea.  It gets ranked high on Google which makes your job even easier. Make sure you also add your business profile to Google Local.  That’s another free and easy way to get clients. As for off-line client-getting strategies, you can do any of the following: attend local charity events, speak at community events, do a lunch-and-learn at a local business, volunteer for a local charity, distribute door hangers, post flyers, add a graphic/banner to your car, and the list goes on and on.  Once you get started, you’ll see how easy it is to do.  Now that you know what you need to do, you just need to implement and the clients will come in on a regular basis.

Living successfully is living harmoniously and fully balanced. Holistic life coaching is strategically developed to unblock your client’s emotional pathways, liberate his or her body, mind, and spirit. With Holistic Life Coaching, your clients can discover their own personal path to holistic wellness and lasting results.

“As a holistic person, you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate” – Dr. Wayne Dyer

As a Holistic Life Coach, you will work with clients on two primary levels.

“Primary” because of the endless options for coaching your clients on success in life from a holistic perspective.

On the BODY, or physical level, you will be working with what is happening with your client’s physical experience. You will coach your clients to create environments and action plans that support their physical goals and desires for a healthy and thriving body.

On the MIND or mental level, you will work with your clients to uncover the underlying limiting beliefs and patterns that cause physical manifestations such as a headache or other signs of stress. You will coach your clients to create and incorporate new thoughts, beliefs and actions that are aligned with their values, goals and desires.

As the name implies, as a Certified Holistic Life Coach, you will work with clients on a variety of levels. People are experiencing life on a multitude of levels and often become out of balance in one area or another. These imbalances can lead to serious challenges in one’s life, as well as in their relationships with others. This can ultimately lead a person into major obstacles in pursuit of their personal and professional goals.

Holistic life coaching is rapidly growing and full of opportunity for health, fitness, personal development and coaching professionals.

If you are a nutritionist, you can help your client eat better, but this does not address other concerns about the need to change behaviors, or to be more physically active. A personal fitness trainer’s primarily focus is on the physical aspects of health and holism.

As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, you will assess all the dimensions of holism within your client, and then guide and coach. With this credential, you will fully understand various dimensions of holism, and step-by-step coaching applications.

This course is based on what great coaches do each day, and how these skills will apply to holistic life coaching.
