An Immersive Training Experience...
In a world where virtual meetings have become common place, there is a strong desire amongst our students to connect and learn in a face-to-face environment that will allow them to truly integrate theoretical with practical health and wellness coach training. We have been listening and are excited to launch our first immersive training retreat, to be held at Coolangatta on the Gold Coast.
Join us in October where over 4 days we will be taking you through the core coaching competency training units that are within all our qualification courses, fast tracking this section of your studies that would typically take 6 months to complete. This retreat can potentially reduce your overall qualification time by 4 to 5 months, allowing you to gain your certification and start working sooner.

You will gain the highest quality of learning through this immersive format and leave feeling confident in how to begin using coaching as a method of communication.
- Train alongside other like-minded people and start to build a network within the coaching community which will stand you in good stead for the future. Support and interaction of peers has been shown to greatly enhance learning and enjoyment of the course.
- Following the retreat, participants will continue their journey with ongoing support allowing time to absorb, practice and integrate key learning from their time together.

Time for you....
While the retreat is designed for an immersive training experience, with optional group recreational activities and dinners planned, our program most definitely allows for personal time to allow you to enjoy the rejuvenating aspects of the surroundings. With the beach just a few minutes walk away, there is plenty of time for you to explore this idyllic beachside area.
We are also including an opportunity for you to begin planning changes you may wish to make to your own health and wellness – creating a vision and setting goals that you can continue to work on when you return home. This is an important, and often neglected part of any coach training. You cannot coach others until you know how to coach yourself.
