Read what IAWP Master Coaches Have to Say. . .
“I decided to go 100% in with my online coaching business and wanted the support and accountability to not give up on myself while learning how to create a consistent client practice.
I have learned so much about how to prioritize my time to truly be productive, how to conduct laser coaching sessions through wellness labs, and more advanced techniques to get my clients unstuck. I've also had loads of guidance and help with creating consistent nurturing skills that don't involve doom-scrolling social media and relying on "big asks".
Having a small group is really helpful. It feels non-judgemental and like a really safe space to share feelings and ask for advice without actually getting a bunch of unnecessary advice from others in much different stages. It is nice to have a close-knit trusting group to go through similar challenges and celebrations with even when we are on our own coaching journeys. I also have LOVED leading in wellness coach labs. It feels like a huge honor!
Because of MCA I’m most excited about building a real online business that STANDS OUT in a sea of coaches and is successful beyond my wildest expectations.
If you want to believe in yourself wholeheartedly and have the support it takes to believe in yourself, you're in the right spot. You deserve this investment in both your growth and your business!”
“I wanted some additional business support, but from a trustworthy place/company and the IAWP was that for me. I was also interested in learning some more intensive coaching techniques. Being able to call myself a Master Coach also sounded very appealing and I was keen to learn the virtual side.
MCA has helped me to see that there are systems in place and results can come when the system is followed. I personally struggle when I need to come up with my own systems to follow (even though I'm great at helping others with theirs). My confidence has grown as a result of the small group coaching labs.
I like the done for you systems as well as the fact that there's lots of support. I've realised that following a bunch of other coaches on social media was doing more harm than good for me. I don't need to follow other people's journeys so closely if it's going to negatively affect the way I see myself or trigger me to doubt myself. I've realised (am still realising) that persistence and trusting the system is a better way to build foundation, than trying to follow everything that I see other coaches doing…
I’m proof that when you do "the thing", it gives space for other opportunities you could have never even planned for!”
“I decided to join MCA to take my skills with clients and online to the next level and to be eligible to be a part of the IAWP’s education of wellness coaches.
It has allowed me to be more aware of my time and organization. It has given me additional tools to help frame some of the topics I incorporate into my program. It has given me a lot to consider and work on to implement in my virtual business.
I’ve loved the small group training and coaching calls and the availability of Suzanne and Laura to support us and offer guidance and suggestions. It has just been really great to have a place to get support and ask questions.
Because of MCA I’m most excited about building my virtual business in a more organized and productive way that doesn’t eat up all my time.
If you are ready to truly commit to building your biz as a coach and take your skills and your biz to the next level especially online then you should dive right in. The support from Suzanne and Laura is so valuable as you navigate the ins and outs and all the inner landscape of entrepreneurship as a coach. The volume of content in the program is so robust you will have such an incredible opportunity to grow and expand yourself personally but also as a business.”
“I decided to join MCA because I knew I needed more help to get my business going. I felt drawn to building a virtual coaching practice but had no clue how to go about doing it, so the Virtual Business Accelerator component of the program was the most attractive to me.
MCA has been a very intense (but in a good way!) experience for me. It has really required me to get clear on what I'm doing, who I'm serving and why, and no longer make excuses for not putting myself out there. It has required a huge reframe around my work hours, my workday planning, and my task management and prioritization.
The advanced coaching techniques have been hugely helpful in a personal way. They’ve given me clarity for myself and for helping others. The virtual business component has been huge. I really needed something systematized to get clear on what my virtual presence is for.
To other considering this program, I would say:
- Take the leap. It is worth it. This program is a significant expense and time commitment - there's no doubt about that - but if it is right for you at this time, I'd strongly encourage you to enroll. This program, and the support that it offers, will help you gain the clarity and confidence you need to hone your message, to own it, to put it in front of the right people, and transform more lives.
- Being an entrepreneur and a coach requires a lot of inner work, and this program, with the advanced coaching techniques and the support in the FB group and on the training calls, really helps facilitate that and provide some accountability. It can be a difficult process at times, but the resulting transformation is ultimately worth it.
- This program provides a unique opportunity to build friendships and connections with other coaches. Entrepreneurship can feel isolating and lonely at times, so having a group of like-minded people to encourage and inspire you is so valuable.”
“I joined Master Coach Academy because I felt stuck with my niche and signature system and couldn't find a way to get past it. I felt that if I couldn't get past it this whole idea of becoming a coach and actually having my own business one day would never happen.
MCA is doing a lot for my mindset. It helped me realize I am not stuck and whatever obstacles I face I can work through. I just have to take the steps to work through them. MCA is giving me hope that I will one day have my dream.
My coaching skills are advancing in the sense that I have new tools to help myself work on my limiting issues and then I can help my clients.
The most helpful aspect of this program is the personal feedback from Suzanne and Laura that have both walked this path before us and have experience to guide us through our tough situations/obstacles.
I’ve gone from thinking: "I'm behind, I'm not at the same place as my peers, I'm not as good as my peers, I'm not as successful as my peers, I don't belong here" to "I am right where I should be, right now, in this moment"
Because of MCA I’m excited about my future and the business that I am building in the online space.”
“Master Coach Academy has given me more clarification and understanding of what is needed within a virtual business. The education is done really well and being with like minded people who are supportive of each other are two of the things I’ve liked most.
The virtual business information is comprehensive and very helpful to understanding what's needed to master building an online practice. The additional coaching skills you learn give you the opportunity to take your clients deeper, which can give them more insight and healing.
My breakthroughs: Creating a better avenue for me to gain recognition and clients. And I am now the author of the upcoming book, "Wake Up! It's Your Life: An Insiders Guide to Emotional Well Being which will be my major marketing tool for gaining clients.
Because of MCA I am excited about bringing my message to more people and helping them through coaching.”
“I decided to join Master Coach Academy to maximize my skills as a wellness coach and to learn the virtual platform. MCA has taught me higher level organization skills, how to keep my goals on track and how to stop pushing so hard and learn to surrender to this journey.
The learning tools, videos and " know how" is amazing. And it’s a great way to connect with a group of like minded people.
I’m finally giving into the flow of life. I’m finally honing in on my niche. And I’m finally finding my authentic voice.
This is an experiential journey into self. Becoming a Master Coach with the IAWP has been healing to me. MCA is a well designed road map to upscaling yourself, your practice and learning the virtual arena.”

Ideal candidates for MCA will have taken action steps outlined during Holistic Wellness Coach Certification. That does not mean you have done everything or have it all figured out, but that you have started coaching and getting your business started. You’ve felt excited to get started along the way and have been willing to try things out. Your niche may have changed, but you have attempted to define your niche. Your signature system may have changed, but you have tried creating your first signature system.
For the graduate who feels he or she has not taken action during and after HWC due to fear, procrastination, time or other obstacles, you may want to consider revisiting your HWC Classroom first. We will spend a little time reviewing concepts from HWC, but we are building upon them with new, advanced training.
MCA may be just right for you. Each master-coaching-in-training will likely have different levels of experience and success, but what you will have in common is that you are on your way to creating more success. There are three areas of learning that are a part of MCA that you will add to your skill set:
- Coach Mastery includes Advanced Coach Training -in-depth, high level, NEW tools that build upon CORE. This involves a variety of advanced tools including learning how to work with the Inner Critic, the Inner Child, your Inner Voice, advanced techniques to breakthrough procrastination, indecision, fear, and other obstacles clients face
- Coach Mastery also includes real application and learning how to coach in a group setting. Participants will learn how to lead our Wellness Coach Labs and will be coaching real people with wellness challenges as part of their Master Coach Certification.
- The Virtual Business Accelerator will teach how to build upon your IAWP foundation and take your practice virtual with a focus on attracting clients through a proven social media strategy that includes done for you content. The highlight here is that Suzanne will be going social in the role of a coach profile (rather than just IAWP) as part of the training to model what to do and participants can follow along with her.
There are plenty of free trainings online that focus on one fix or another. It has been our experience that most trainings in the online space, whether free or paid, tend to focus on one strategy or tactic that could support you. Having been in the online business field ourselves well before it was on trend, we’ve also seen a lot of crazy things out there. We caution you from “magic bullet” style programs that promise you that you will solve all of your marketing challenges in 30 days or less and instead leave you in overwhelm or running down a rabbit hole. You may find something that works for you, but being able to build upon the foundation you have already created using the IAWP system can be helpful rather than reinventing the wheel and starting from scratch.
At the IAWP, we believe it takes having a strong foundation and not changing what you’re doing every few months because some other expert has told you to. And it also takes being willing to stick to a proven system (from someone who has actually done it rather than just saying they’ve done it.) Our motto “Systems + Support = Success” is something we hang our hat on and is what Master Coach Academy is built upon.
It’s time to pause and consider your own personal situation to determine if taking on tuition is right for you at this time. If you are interested in applying, you can certainly take the first step of filling out your application and will have time to consider tuition options.
If you haven’t earned any income yet, consider why that might be. There has been a lot going on in the last year and certainly many people have had extra commitments. If it’s more circumstantial but you are ready to keep moving forward and everything you have learned about MCA resonates, then you should apply. You will likely grow your business faster with support and community.
If your financial situation is very tight, you may want to consider waiting to apply at another time. You don’t want to have to be worrying while you are focusing on new learning.
Time is our greatest commodity, that’s for sure. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed MCA to be flexible. You can participate from anywhere, anytime and on-the-go. If you can’t attend live, you can listen to the replays when you are able to and still get your questions answered each week. We estimate that you will want to spend at least 2 hours per week on your training, though some weeks you could spend more or less depending on your schedule. Consider where you could open up a little bit more time. Could you get up an hour earlier one time per week and stay up an hour later one time per week? Could you carve out morning on a Saturday once a month? If you’re “too busy”, it’s likely that there are some things you may need to clear off your plate to be able to focus on your coaching business. Good news, during MCA we’ll be helping you with Purposeful Productivity and making the most of your time and energy!
