TESTIMONIALS FROM GRADUATES

“The journey towards Wellness is not a linear process. Although most models out there are based on psychological principles, the Wellness Inventory goes deeper to the core of what it means to be human. Our nature is multidimensional and as such, an effective Wellness Coach must learn how to use inquiry techniques that tap into those dimensions - mind, body and spirit. I found Wellness Inventory to be the most comprehensive, most in depth approach to coaching in the market today. I highly recommend it to those who are serious about incorporating a holistic approach to coaching.”

"Did you happen to see the movie 'As Good as it Gets' with Jack Nicholson? I remember a quote from the film when Nicholson's character says to the woman he'd fallen in love with 'You make me want to be a better man'. Something similar rings in my ears this evening, in the sense that both of you have spirits that inspire me to grow into something bigger, some larger aspect of myself. Thank you both for that! This is a deeply important class and I am really thankful."

Not only the learning came from two awesome instructors, a great curriculum and structure but also from the well-educated and knowledgeable classmates; the telephone class instruction was set up in a nurturing and safe environment. All in all I got up to date information on overall wellness with easy to implement action steps that have made a great difference in my life. The wellness inventory web site tools are like no other I've seen for coaches and clients alike."

"While I expected to learn about wellness from a professional standpoint, I was blown away by the personal gains I made in my understanding and appreciation for how the 12 dimensions of wellness play out in my own life. The learning that I did in this class strongly supported my ability to make a number of significant changes in how I address my sense of wellness. I know that the enthusiasm that I feel about my new found sense of wellness will be easily communicated to future coaching clients."
