WHAT MAKES OUR TRAINING DIFFERENT

Check out the 5 top reasons our coaches choose the IAWP

why IAWP-min

Reason #1: The Real Deal

If you’re reading this, then you’re likely considering embarking on this exciting path to become a Holistic Wellness Coach soon and want to firm up that the IAWP really is all that we say we are.

While we’ve spent a lot of time sharing as many details and real-life stories as we can on our website, we understand that it can be difficult to get a real picture of what it would be like to be an actual Holistic Wellness Coach student at the IAWP. Maybe this will help…

We often hear our coaches say “The IAWP is the real deal.”  They tell us they are surprised by how much support and training we provide them. The truth is, The IAWP Staff wakes up everyday with a passion and purpose to serve our coaching community and we believe this shines through. Simply put, we love our coaches and are dedicated to their success.

Reason #2:  Holistic Wellness Specialty

You may have noticed that there’s a lot of health and wellness coach training programs available today. But we have yet to find one like ours that teaches a true holistic approach to wellness. Most programs are following standardized advice that “someone” believes applies to everyone. We simply don’t agree. 

At the IAWP, we believe every person is unique and should be treated that way.  We also know that one-size-fits-all approaches don’t create real changes.  Our coaches are able to set themselves apart with a holistic wellness specialty and use powerful tools that other coaches don’t have access to because it’s simply not taught in other programs. 

Our coaches combine the best of modern health practices with age-old healing practices and are able to customize their client’s wellness journeys. The results are simply amazing. 

Reason #3: The Most Hands On, Personal Support

Our coaches love the level of support they receive and it’s changed their life.  We know that the type of personal support we offer is like none other available in the online education field today. It’s just not practical for most organizations to provide this level of support.

We stand behind our coaches, because if they aren’t successful, it means they’re not helping people. And if they’re not helping people, then our vision is not fulfilled.  We’re here to change lives together with holistic wellness. 

That’s why we’ve built our training program around our motto: Systems + Support = Success. This isn’t just “talk”- we offer over 25 live, interactive training and coaching labs every month in a small group setting. You get to receive ongoing, personal support from a Master Holistic Wellness Coach, experiencing, modeling and practicing coaching all throughout your journey.

To top off our support, we provide you with three powerful, proven systems in holistic wellness, coaching and business that you can use in your own coaching business to hit the ground running and run a successful practice for years to come.

Reason #4: Learn it and Live it

It’s not just about learning about wellness or how to coach others, it’s about living it in your own life.  Our coaches love that we’ve designed our curriculum to be experiential. 

Unlike most online training, where you’ll “Watch and Learn”, here at the IAWP you will immerse yourself in your training and gain real life experience in Wellness, Coaching and Business every step of the way. By the time you graduate, you’ll have gone through your own personal transformation and be confident to guide others on theirs. 

Plus, your experiential training is virtual and takes place on your schedule, so you can learn when and were you want.

Reason #5: Your Community for Life

Our community is on a journey together. We’re a part of an exciting movement of sharing the message of holistic wellness, helping others to heal their lives and also doing what we love everyday.  We know we’re here for a purpose and that together, we can make a big impact. 

That’s why we’ve created a Community for Life, where you never have to go-it alone, will have unlimited access to our training and lifetime support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Holistic Wellness Coaches are professionals who take an integrative approach to health and wellness. They help people learn to make healthy lifestyle changes as well as use natural methods to impact their wellness. They take into account more then just food, fitness or simple habit changes, but all aspects of a person’s health and life in true holistic fashion.

IAWP Holistic Wellness Coaches learn how to look at the whole person, not just their physical health, but their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.  They learn to use a unique, holistic system called Wellness 360 which examines 12 elements of well-being including 36 dimensions of the self.

This system examines all aspects that impact our well-being like our careers, our relationships and even how we relate to nature and the world around us.  

Our coaches also learn about the three energetic layers of each element that create our unique blueprints and help people discover their own unique wellness blueprint. 

At the IAWP, we believe that true wellness combines the best of modern health practices with age-old healing practices.  Our Holistic Wellness Coaches are highly trained coaches, providing support and accountability for their clients so they can make lasting lifestyle changes.

Today there are many people calling themselves “Health Coaches”. They have varying educations and backgrounds, some with extensive training, others with no training at all. “Health Coaching” is a general term that does not tell people what area of health you help with or your specific approach. Many Health Coaches focus solely on nutrition, exercise and habit changes.

“Wellness Coach” is a more specific term. It denotes that more than just general health is being considered in the approach. Wellness signfies well-being and lifestyle aspects beyond food and exercise.

When evaluating various health and wellness coaching programs, it is important to understand the difference between becoming a generalist and a specialist. Whether a training program calls their graduates a “health coach” or a “wellness coach,” they often have a particular angle that they work from.

Holistic Wellness Coaching is a specialty term in which professionals will take a holistic approach to wellness, considering all aspects of a person’s well-being as well as the support provided involves holistic remedies, therapies, and a more natural approach to wellness.

While generalist coaches can be useful, you’re guaranteed greater success when you choose a specialist track like Holistic Wellness. You probably know that in the field of medicine a doctor who is a generalist is paid much less than a specialist. Generalists do not have the same level of training and the market allows for specialists to charge higher fees. This is also true for a Holistic Wellness Coaches.

We don’t stop offering support after graduation, though.

One of the most impactful parts of an education with the IAWP is that we offer lifetime support for all of our students. Our community is always there to provide advice, feedback, ongoing learning and inspiration, no matter where you are in your Holistic Wellness Coach career journey.

The short answer is Yes! In fact, we are so confident you will get your first client by the time you graduate, that we guarantee your success. If you follow the steps in our program and fail to attract your first client by graduation, we will refund your tuition and you can keep your certification. 

At the IAWP, our program is based on our Immersive Transformation Training Method™. This method ensures you are applying your knowledge during every stage of your training and this includes taking the right steps to attract your ideal clients.

Through our business training, you will follow our Coach Launch system, which is designed to take you step by step through a process that will guide you as you attract and sign up your first 10 clients, or your next 10 clients, again and again. 

There’s different career paths coaches can take, but here at the IAWP our specialty is helping you to launch your own coaching practice. 

By the time most of our coaches find us, they’re ready to create a life that includes more freedom and flexibility.  They have a deep desire to do something not only meaningful, but something that is in alignment with their own beliefs and values.  

For some, this is their next career and a chance to do what’s in their heart. For others, this is their last career and they’ve finally landed on their life’s work.  In both cases, our coaches learn how to design their new career on their own terms.  

At the IAWP, we’re super passionate about the entrepreneurial path, because we’re on it with you.  We’ve been teaching coaches how to create success in their own practices for over fifteen years based on real experience as coaches and holistic entrepreneurs ourselves.  (We will never tell you to do something we haven’t tried and proven ourselves!)

We don’t just provide you an education and leave you to figure out how to really help people and build a coaching business. Instead, we give you the systems you need to actually make it happen. You’ll learn our three proven systems and receive done-for-you coaching programs, marketing tools, complete workshops, client materials and more.  The best news, you won’t have to waste time reinventing the wheel and you can start making an impact with holistic wellness coaching right away.

When you enroll in our Holistic Wellness Coach Certification program, you will receive Lifetime Access to our training, plus continued education and support for the life of your career. This is very unique in the online education industry and we are unaware of any other organization that provides this level of access and ongoing support. 

This also means that you will be part of a community that is committed to supporting one another. Unlike other training programs where access to other students might be limited to your current class, at the IAWP you will have the opportunity to connect with former students and grads who are always excited to share their experiences and pay it forward. It’s truly a unique community like no other. 

While you do not need continuing education credits to maintain your IAWP Holistic Wellness Coach Certification, our training is recognized and accredited by several organizations, like the International Coach Federation where our program allows you to earn Continuing Education Credits. 

Our primary focus is on giving you the systems and support you need to build a thriving practice, helping others. 

Short answer, yes. The world has gone virtual in the last few years so knowing how to connect with your clients and work with them virtually is essential. 

Our business training can be applied to building a practice in your local community or creating an online coaching business.  Some students prefer to work locally, others go straight to online, some prefer a mix of the two.  The choice is yours and will largely depend on your preference. 

Through our Coach Launch Fast Track system, you will learn how to set up your business and determine which career track best fits for you. You will also learn the ins and out of online marketing, social media, video conferencing and other virtual business tools. You’ll also personally experience virtual coaching and online workshops through your training.
