Testimonials

Firstly, I’m super impressed with how well you become equipped to actively listen to people about what they want or need for their life. It’s great to genuinely know what someone wants by taking your ego out of the equation. And they can sense and feel that. Secondly, I feel super empowered to take action in designing a program that will actually get someone small wins and regular, consistent success. Without even doing Level 2, 3, The Certificate and Diploma I’m amazed at the tools and depth of information Fiona goes to, while making it easy to digest. Thirdly, I have started changing the way I listen to my friends and family and how I communicate with them. This has had an instant impact on enjoying deeper conversations and helping them open up to me. My family has commented on how much better I am a communicating with them. Who would have thought not trying to give advice to people or change them but evoke the right questions could make such an impact in just a short time on my life. Thank you so much for this opportunity to learn this wonderful skill.

Since completing my level 3 accreditation with Wellness Coaching Australia I have commenced a business which focusses on wellness coaching specifically for men called Elevate Men's Potential. The coaching structure set out through WCA provides a terrific pathway to follow and allows clients to develop self awareness early on, providing them with the ability to develop the skills required to work week by week with their coach to achieve a vision of what it is they want to change about themselves and achieve. I have no hesitation in recommending Fiona and her team if you are considering to enter the wonderful world of helping others to become their best self. We all deserve to move forward and improve our lives. WCA is a great platform to develop the skills to provide a valueable service to our fast paced, ever changing world.

I loved the Level 1 course offered by Wellness Coaching Australia. The course is a brilliant, comprehensive life changing experience. It provides engaging learning materials touching on elements of psychology and human behaviour. The course facilitators are professional, encouraging and supportive. I’m thoroughly enjoying the interaction with other students, and I feel life long friendships are being formed. I’m grateful for the new skills I’m learning and look forward to working as a wellness coach when I complete my studies. A big thank you to all the friendly staff at WCA.
