Bridge the Body-Mind Gap


We believe that people are naturally resourceful and capable.
However, there are times when various factors and influences may cause them to feel otherwise.

Our mental, emotional, and physical states fluctuate throughout the day. We can go from feeling on top of the world to anxious in a matter of seconds, depending on what’s happening around us, inside our bodies, or what our minds are focused on.

Helping your clients shift into resourceful states—where they feel calm, confident, capable, and present—during the change-making process not only amplifies their ability to achieve their goals but also enhances your ability to support them effectively.

What our students have to say

“I wanted to take my love of somatic work and help others, but I didn’t have a clear process that made me confident I could truly make a difference. This program gave me so much more than just a framework. It deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and equipped me with practical tools that I can use to guide clients through real transformation. Now, I not only feel confident in my ability to help others heal and grow, but I also trust my own intuition and skills on a whole new level.”

R. Cooke

I debated paying the extra money for the Luminary Launchpad, but knowing what I know now, I would be floating around out there with no sense of direction or skills in website creation and program building, among other things. I was smart enough to realize that I lacked knowledge in marketing, but it did so much more. It helped to coax me out of my shell, identify what’s holding me back from putting my authentic self out there, and build a business that reflects who I am and who I want to coach. I would’ve been spinning my wheels, creating a lot of useless material and spending countless hours on research. This cut through all that and is a treasure trove of business know-how worth every penny!

Nikki Hewitt, Whole Person Certified Coach

“I’ve attended other coach training programs, but where Coach Training World stood out was their Luminary Launchpad, global community and continued support. I wasn’t just dumped out at the end of the program and left on my own.

The idea of being an entrepreneur was overwhelming. Owning your own coaching business requires many different skill sets. With so many pieces to the puzzle, I didn’t know if I could be successful. The Luminary Launchpad program gave me the manageable building blocks to build something of my own. That has been my biggest take-away and worth every penny and moment of time I’ve put into this program.

Stone Cairns, Whole Person Certified Coach

This has been one of the most transformational programs in my life. So much wisdom, so much excavation. I won’t say it’s been easy, but it has been so worth it!”

Ryan Sharp

“Luminary Launchpad is one of the most comprehensive programs, as well as challenging undertakings, that I’ve ever done. It’s pushed me to move into arenas that without taking this class, I would never have known about nor touched.

I feel especially fortunate in that we have such personalized attention we need to succeed.

Gail Conrad

“Goes above and beyond any other coaching school that I have seen. This program is more comprehensive and fulfilling than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend.

You’ve Probably Got Questions…

We’ve got answers!


Who is this program for?

Our Somatic Coach & Mindfulness Facilitator training welcomes anyone looking to incorporate somatic coaching into their work with clients or patients. While not a substitute for ICF Level 1 or 2 certification, this program focuses on somatic practices, assuming participants have prior coaching or related training. 

NOTE: You may apply the credits earned from this course towards an ICF renewal and/or toward a PCC or MCC credential.

Is this program for me? (What to expect)
Our Somatic Coach and Mindfulness Facilitator Certification focuses on working with the whole person through somatic and mindfulness practices. This in-depth program can release deep-seated blocks and may evoke emotional responses.

We encourage you to approach with an open mind, as somatic work may bring up new experiences and ideas. While this program does not focus on trauma, past experiences may surface, and it’s important to recognize their potential impact.

You always have control over your participation. We offer a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment, welcoming you as you are. Our goal is to equip you with a toolkit that fosters resilience, resourcefulness, and choice for both you and your clients.

How does this program differ from the Trauma Informed Coach Certification training?
The Trauma-Informed Coach Certification focuses on equipping coaches with the skills to recognize, understand, and support clients who have experienced trauma. It emphasizes trauma-sensitive approaches, helping coaches create a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore their experiences without retraumatization. The training delves into understanding the impact of trauma on behavior, emotions, and thought patterns, while providing tools to support self-directed healing and resilience in a trauma-conscious way.

The Somatic Coach & Mindfulness Facilitator Certification, on the other hand, centers around working with the whole person through somatic (body-based) practices and mindfulness techniques. This program emphasizes cultivating body awareness, emotional regulation, and the mind-body connection to release blocks and foster personal growth. While trauma may surface during this work, the focus is on using somatic and mindfulness approaches to promote presence, embodiment, and well-being, rather than specifically addressing trauma.

Whole Person Coaching vs. Somatic Coaching?

Whole Person Coaching is a multi-modality approach that considers the whole of a person, including their actions, thoughts, feelings, being, and somatic awareness, to foster transformative change from the inside out. It incorporates a range of modalities, such as cognitive and relational neuroscience, positive psychology, narrative coaching, somatic psychology, and Jungian psychology, making it applicable to a variety of coaching contexts.

Our ICF Level 1 and Level 2 Whole Person Coaching Certification (WPCC) programs not only prepare participants to become holistic coaches but also help them earn their ICF credentials.

Somatic Coaching & Mindfulness Facilitation builds on the Whole Person Coaching foundation by adding specialized tools, mentorship, and guidance focused on somatic practices. It deepens the holistic approach by incorporating body-based awareness and mindfulness, enriching your ability to guide clients toward deeper self-awareness and transformation.

Do I need to be an ICF Certified coach to attend?

No, you don’t need to be an ICF Certified coach to attend this program. However, please note that it doesn’t focus on foundational coaching skills like powerful questioning or active listening. Instead, it’s designed to work somatically with the whole person.

Will you help me find practice partners?

If you don’t currently have clients or others to practice your somatic coaching and mindfulness facilitator skills with, we’ve got you covered. We’ll help you form practice partnerships within the class.

Can I do this program via self-study?

Although this program was initially designed as a live online program conducted via Zoom, we understand that it may not be possible for you to attend due to schedule or time zone constraints. That’s why we have made the program available for self-study.

The self-study option includes:

  1. Watching the recorded class videos
  2. Completing journaling assignments outside of class
  3. Practicing the tools and techniques with your own clients, peers, or others.
How much time should I expect to invest?

Our Somatic Coach & Mindfulness Coach program is designed to accommodate your schedule. The program consists of weekly sessions that span a duration of 10 weeks, providing a structured and comprehensive learning experience.

In addition to the weekly sessions, if you choose to participate in the Practicum portion of the program, we recommend setting aside approximately 1-2 hours a week to practice the skills and tools. Note: You are NOT required to complete the 10 hours of practicum during the 10-week course. You can finish any remaining pracctice hours post-class.

We understand the importance of balancing commitments and strive to create a program that is both enriching and manageable within your existing schedule.

Will you list me in your Find-a-Coach Directory?

Yes, upon completing the program, we’d be thrilled to list you on our website as a resource for clients seeking a Somatic Coach or Mindfulness Facilitator within your chosen niche. You’ll also receive a digital badge alongside your certificate.

Can I get a refund?

Our Somatic Coach & MIndfulness Facilitator training program has a very limited number of seats. Due to the size restrictions we do not offer a refund. We do offer the opportunity to move once to another training and/or the option to participate via self-study as long as you’ve attended the first day of class.

Can I use the ICF CCE's to renew and/or upgrade my ICF credential?

Yes, continuing coach education can be used for renewal of a current credential then also used for the initial application for an upgrade of the credential! So they can submit the training now for their PCC renewal and then also re-submit that same education for their MCC Application! They cannot submit the same coach education for 2 different renewal periods.
