Join 600+ Somatic Coaches Who’ve Built Embodied Practices That Create Real Change for Their Clients

Absolutely. Many of our most successful graduates came in with zero coaching background. This course was built to take you from “where do I even start?” to confidently coaching real clients — with hands-on guidance, plenty of practice and supportive mentorship at every step.

Think of it like a complete roadmap: you don’t need to know the route – we guide you the whole way.

Yes – and not just “can it be,” but many of our students actually prefer it.

This isn’t passive, watch-a-video learning. It’s deeply interactive, body-led training with breakout practice, real-time facilitation and built-in community.

In fact, we’ve heard over and over again: “This felt more connected and embodied than anything I’ve done in-person.”

Being in your own space allows your nervous system to settle, which supports deeper integration – and often leads to more powerful learning.

It’s not required, but it can help. Experiencing the work firsthand gives you deeper insight – and if you're curious, we’d be happy to connect you with a qualified somatic coach before you join.

That said, the course includes plenty of practice spaces where you'll both coach and be coached. You’ll get to explore the work from both perspectives in a safe, supportive environment.

No, our entire approach is hands-off. The somatic tools we teach focus on awareness, gesture, movement and metaphor – powerful methods that tap into the body’s intelligence without physical touch.

This makes the work safer, more inclusive and ideal for both online and in-person coaching settings.

Yes. After completing the diploma, you’ll be a qualified Body-Oriented Coach with a professional certification. You’ll have met the industry standards for ethical practice and you’ll be eligible to apply for the ICF Associate or Professional Certified Coach credential.

You’ll graduate with confidence, credentials and the tools to build a thriving practice.

You’ll be able to call yourself a “Body-Oriented Coach” or “Somatic Coach” trained through a Level 2 ICF-accredited program – a title that carries weight and credibility in the coaching world.

If you pursue ICF certification, you can also add your credential (like ACC or PCC) to your professional title.

Nope – no academic tests here. Your learning is assessed through real coaching practice, mentor feedback and a final “Real World Enquiry” you can submit in a format that works for you (written, recorded, or otherwise).

The focus is on embodied skill development, not test performance.

Level 2 means you’re receiving training that meets the highest standards set by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). It prepares you for both ACC and PCC credentials – and streamlines your path to official certification.

Translation? More recognition, faster applications and a clear edge in the coaching marketplace.

Occasionally, yes. We offer scholarships for people from underrepresented or financially disadvantaged backgrounds. These are limited and application-based, but we welcome you to apply if cost is a barrier.

We also offer flexible payment plans to make the course more accessible.

Therapy explores how the past affects the present – often with a focus on diagnosis and healing. Coaching is future-oriented: it’s about supporting someone to make sense of the present and design what comes next.

While both can explore deep material, coaching is non-clinical, creative and focused on empowerment rather than treatment.

Somatic therapy is typically practiced by licensed clinicians to treat trauma or mental health concerns. Somatic coaching, on the other hand, uses the intelligence of the body to support growth, change and integration – without diagnosing or treating.

Think of it as a body-based lens for personal development, not clinical intervention.

100%. Many students join us during career transitions – and leave with a powerful new path. Whether you’re leaving a corporate role, a helping profession, or just feeling called toward a more purposeful career, this training gives you a clear launchpad.

You’ll be taught primarily by one lead trainer for the live sessions, so the learning feels consistent and cohesive. Across the program, you’ll also experience additional faculty through Practicums and support spaces, and you’ll be assigned a dedicated ICF Mentor for personalised mentoring as part of your training.

Yes – the journey doesn’t end when the course does. We offer ongoing supervision, alumni community spaces and advanced training options to keep you growing long after graduation. You’re not just buying a course – you’re joining a lifelong professional home.

No – we have a consistent curriculum, shared delivery standards and a deeply aligned faculty. While each trainer brings their own flavor, the content, structure and integrity of the training remain the same.

Yes – you’ll apply to the ICF separately. Your training provides the education, mentor coaching, and performance evaluation required for your credential pathway. After graduation, you’ll log your coaching hours and submit your application directly with the ICF, including completing the ICF exam. We’ll give you clear guidance on what the ICF expects, but the application itself is completed by you through the ICF.

Unlike many other programs, we’re fully ICF-accredited – which means our diploma leads to a professional coaching credential, not just a certificate of attendance.

If professional credibility, rigorous training and post-course support matter to you – this is the course designed for long-term impact, not just inspiration.

Yes – and many of our grads do just that. We focus on practical, real-world coaching skills that build your confidence and competence. Plus, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your scope of practice and how to start working with real clients.

That’s completely fine – and actually common. You don’t need a background in psychology to be an effective somatic coach. This course gives you the tools you need to work ethically, intuitively and skillfully – no prior education required.
