“Whole Person Coaching enables you to achieve the transformational results your clients are seeking.  Become an instrument of change.”

Over the past few decades, the expectations of a coach have evolved from the traditional goal-centric focus, such as creating SMART goals and taking action, to delving into the depths of human potential. Working with the whole person ensures that you have every opportunity to champion those breakthrough moments and facilitate the transformational change your ideal clients and organizations are seeking.

Whole Person Coaches learn a multi-modal coaching approach to foster positive and transformative change by engaging with the entirety of an individual’s being in any aspect of their life. This approach draws from the perspectives and best practices of cognitive, somatic, Jungian, and narrative coaching, built on the foundation of relational neuroscience.

While this may initially appear to be a broad-spectrum approach to effecting change, it’s actually a profound method for becoming an agent of transformation.

Working with the whole person—addressing their mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual aspects—allows you to tackle the invisible barriers to your client’s success while unlocking their greatest potential.

Your capacity to adapt your coaching approach through a multi-modal approach to change-making provides you with options on how best to serve the client in the moment and in the long term. This offers gateways to change rather than being confined to a single process or perspective.

The table below outlines the distinctions between transactional coaching (or traditional coaching), which is goal-oriented, performance coaching commonly found within corporate settings, transformational coaching, and Whole Person Coaching.

It underscores how each approach works (or doesn’t work) with the Whole Person.

The groundbreaking effectiveness of Whole Person Coaching lies in our pioneering multi-modality approach—a tapestry woven from the most powerful threads of psychology & neuroscience.

Beyond the confines of traditional coaching, which draw strength from cognitive neuroscience and positive psychology, our method further expands our graduates’ knowledge and skills to new heights.

Whole Person Coaching embodies the transformative wisdom gleaned from the insights of relational and cognitive neuroscience, particularly Interpersonal Neurobiology—the science of relational and embodied learning. With this knowledge, the coach learns the power of their presence and how to cultivate a depth of inner courage and confidence in their clients (and themselves).

Our holistic coaching method also draws upon the intuitive depths of somatic psychology, which is the study of how the body participates to inform how we experience and respond to our world. Understanding how our nervous system has developed through our sensory experiences gives the coach and client a chance to shift into states of higher perspective and potential. Being able to work with the body and the mind to cultivate a depth of self-awareness, understanding, and transformational growth.

In addition, we draw upon the archetypal symbolism of Jungian psychology and the narrative of self. For it is from the stories in which we weave that we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Language plays a huge role in our meaning-making processes and how we come to know ourselves. Understanding how a person’s narrative forms their beliefs and identity unlocks the door for the coach to unwind old conditioned thought patterns and deeply held beliefs. Opening doors to new perspectives and possibilities.

This synthesis creates an alchemical blend, elevating Whole Person Coaching to an art form that resonates with the deepest layers of human potential and transformation.
