Course Instructions
Course Directions
Please go through the class in order. The class is structured to help you learn and retain the information in the most effective manner. The classes begin with the vision, overviews and bigger picture concepts and then move towards the detailed techniques. The later sections of the course bring it all together and show specifically how each lesson is applied in coaching.
As an Integrative Wellness & Life Coach it is important to be doing the work within your own life. Please try to apply as much of the information, tools and techniques as possible to your self, this will help you become an even better Integrative Wellness & Life Coach!
Feel free to move through the curriculum at your own pace, however we request that you go through NO MORE than one full module per day. It is better to process and integrate the learnings fully before moving on to the next section. Some sections have a lot of content and others have less. The second half of the course is more time consuming and intensive so please plan accordingly.
You may choose to begin your 30-Day Action Plan along with the classes and move through them simultaneously, or you can choose to begin the 30-Day Action Plan upon completion of the classes. Either way, the 30-Day Action Plan is the assignment that must be turned in along with your final exam and practicum in order to receive your certificate.
Course Materials
You will need a journal or notebook, your computer, internet connection, adobe acrobat or pdf reader, internet browser and a little time set aside daily to work on the materials and view the classes.
Course Timeframe
You will have 6 months to complete the course and turn in all assignments. If you need an extension when you are close to your deadline, please email us with how much more time you think you will need to complete the course and we can work with you on that.

Course Extras
IWLC Textbook
We also offer a textbook, the Integrative Wellness & Life Coaching Textbook, for sale that students find very helpful. The textbook is not required to complete the course or to learn the material. The online course classes are audio and video. Some people learn best from reading and this is why we also provide that option. If you are interested in purchasing a textbook, please visit our online SHOP.
Extra Bonus Videos
As an added value we have filmed part of our in person course and have provided you with the recordings IWA Training Videos. These videos are NOT the complete course and are NOT meant to replace the online course. It will be a way to deepen your understanding of the curriculum from a visual perspective as the in-person training summarizes the online curriculum and also shows some exercises.
Extra Learning Opportunities
We are constantly looking for new ways to support your journey to becoming the best Integrative Wellness & Life Coaches possible. Below are two ways we feel we can add additional support:
- Be sure to take full advantage of the student group! Connect with other students and graduates, find or start virtual study groups and volunteer to be another students practicum client. These steps will all deepen your support level and your learning.
- Consider enrolling in the 12-week business mastery course to help you build your business upon graduation IF you find you need additional business and marketing tools. You can find this course within our shop HERE
Facebook Student Community
We have created an IWA Facebook community closed group for our students.
This is a forum for you to post questions, thoughts and your experiences both with the course, assignments and exam as well as to get support from our team and the community as you begin your coaching practice. For example, you may be about to meet with a new client who is experiencing a problem which you have not dealt with yet and can post about it and request feedback from the group and our team as to their experience with it. We have seen other schools do this, and it has provided another layer of support so we have decided to add it as well.
For those of you interested in joining the Facebook group please follow the link below and send a request to join:
