Someone who lives in well-being – mind, body, and soul. A coach is equipped with the knowledge, tools, and self-awareness necessary to help a person express their potential for health and happiness and overcome their self-imposed limitations.
Our Program
Designed based on the research of the Anthropedia Institute Anthropedia’s well-being coach certification program provides comprehensive training for individuals who are interested in an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to health and well-being. Adopting a rigorously scientific approach, the certification program focuses on the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the person every day of the training.
At the heart of our method is the Know Yourself DVD series, which is a course in well-being designed to help people increase self-understanding, manage stress, and find deeper contentment in their lives. It teaches exercises to foster calmness, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mind-body health.
At the end of our program, participants walk away with enhanced personal well-being and expert knowledge on cutting-edge practices to foster their clients’ growth in well-being.
