Was Something Missing from Your Last Coach Training?

If you took a coach training or therapy program that left you feeling like something was missing, it was likely missing mind-body attunement techniques.

Most coaching and therapy techniques are what we call “top down techniques,” which means that they focus on the conscious mind and then any changes made through these processes can affect the body.

Somatic work, on the other hand, is “bottom up.” This means that techniques we do with our body affect the mind.

What is often missing from traditional coach and therapy training programs is the understanding of “bottom up” techniques and how important they are for helping clients to grow to their full potential or experience lasting healing.

I don’t have any beef against other programs that are focusing on top-down tools, because we all have our areas of expertise. The problem is that sometimes we are looking for something that can get to the root of client issues in a deeper way, just because we LOVE going deep. We feel that itch to get the core of the problem and create a lasting solve.

Top-down techniques can’t totally get us where we want to go with our clients!

And, some of us are just BORN to do mind-body work. Mind-body work is an integrated approach where we’re looking at both the top-down and bottom-up techniques as a whole so that we can create more effective and lasting shifts for our clients.

For example, in top-down work, we work with changing limiting beliefs. Sometimes, though, a belief is really hard to change when it’s rooted in nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the belief exists because we don’t have access to our whole brain in a dysregulated state.

I used to try to parent my child from a top-down perspective until I learned this concept. My little one cannot see the world through an expansive, positive lens when she is dysregulated. I might as well try to make the sun shine at night.

But, if I work with her cute little nervous system, then her mindset shifts all on its own.

Do you know what happens when someone has a mindset shift that comes from deep inside them, as a result of shiting into regulation? They feel it in their bones! They see it clearly. There’s no need to try to adopt the new mindset and convince themselves that this new way of thinking could be true. Nope! They just KNOW it.

As you can imagine, this makes your coaching work a heck of a lot easier! And, more powerful.

On top of that, when we use mind-body work, we’re showing our clients how to access their higher self - their inner wisdom - through body-based practices that actually shift how the brain is working. When the brain is functioning in a way that allows us to think creatively and imagine, we have access to our inner wisdom.

It’s weirdly simple!

This means that your clients will not only get internal shifts that land them smack into the truth without any effort on your part to work a limiting belief, but they will also get huge aha’s and insights from their inner wisdom that permanently heal old wounds.

This is why I love mind-body work!

Eventually you’re going to feel like you just sit there and watch amazing healing happen for your clients 😂. Sometimes my trainees tell me they don’t feel like they’re doing anything. This always makes me smile. This is the power of mind-body tools!

Mental shifts happen MUCH easier for our clients when we get their physiology involved. This is how we can help them heal core issues that top-down work just can’t solve.

In fact, this is how we can even help our clients heal chronic pain or illness, which, while it seems like a big claim, is actually really possible. I’ve done it for myself and helped hundreds of clients do the same.

I’m so excited to teach you a mind-body approach to working with your clients, and in my group program, I answer the question, “HOW do you help someone heal in this way, with a top-down AND bottom-up approach?”

I’ve synthesized enormous gobs of information for you into a structured, simple how-to format for working with a mind-body approach that gets to the root of why clients have the beliefs, blocks, or pain that they’re experiencing. Then we quickly help them shift the root problem so they can experience relief.

And, what’s cool about this is that mind-body work ripples out into your life. Your clients will see the relief in one area of their lives, and then they’ll want to apply it to other areas. You’ll get happy clients to want to work with you more to grow more. Your business will thrive. They will tell their friends!

When you create these sorts of transformations with people, your business can’t help but be a huge success. (And, of course, there’s the part where we actually focus on making your business super successful in my program!)
