Help People Transform Their Lives Through The Healing Power Of Nature

Earn Your ICF Credential, Coaching Certification, & Launch Your Successful Nature-Connected Coaching Business

You feel called to help people transform their lives through the healing power of nature...

…but you don’t know what the path forward looks like, let alone whether you can make a living doing it.

You’ve been listening to the needs in the world and feel a pull to guide others towards deeper connections with nature and themselves, igniting healing and purpose.

You’ve experienced firsthand the transformational impact that nature-connection can have on people, and you’re full of creative ideas for how to help people live a more balanced, healthy life.

You’re ready to shift into work that is more aligned with your Soul.

You know, deep down, this is the work you’re meant to do.

… yet how to actually do that is one giant question mark.

How on earth do you find clients, market yourself, and create a successful practice when you aren’t a business person?
How do you stand out as a legitimate practitioner among all the other people calling themselves coaches?
And how do you know if you can really help people transform their lives in a meaningful, lasting way?

We hear you.

In fact, we’ve been you.

And we specifically help people just like you.

The Nature-Connected Coaching program changed my life.

I learned skills to bring more depth to my coaching practice. I also became more connected to myself, to nature, and to a greater sense of meaning in my life and work. The mentors and teachers at EBI were so supportive and skilled. Attending EBI was the best career decision I’ve ever made.”

What does it take to become successful as a Nature-Connected Coach?

Competency, Confidence, Clients, and Commitment! We’ve got you covered with the first three, but the last one you need bring with you. From our experience, the most successful coaches in our program are the people that have a fire and passion to do whatever it takes.

What is experiential online learning?

We love blending together modern technology with ancient teaching. During live online intensives, you can expect a learning experience that is similar to a collaborative and engaging workshop, but in your own home (no travel necessary)! Hands-on practice, feedback and dialogue are central to the experience. We’re not going to bore you with hours of online lectures. You’ll be practicing with your peers, or outside on the land practicing different nature connection exercises, then returning to the group to discuss and integrate.

Additionally, you will learn first-hand how to offer Nature-Connected Coaching to clients virtually. This will open doors and allow you to help clients from all over the world!

What does the Nature-Connected Coaching Certification Curriculum cover?

In the Foundations Units you’ll dive deep into the principle tenets, skills and practices of Professional Nature-Connected Coaching. We help you situate the healing power of nature that you already know to be true inside an experiential, evidence-informed coaching method.
In the Toolbox Units you’ll learn additional modalities and theories that inform your coaching practice. These modules include Gestalt Psychology, Partswork (Self, Soul & Spirit Model), Guiding through Trauma, Neuroscience of Change, Working with Grief & Loss, Applied Change Theory, and Long-term Coaching Models.

Do I need to already have experience as a coach to be part of this program? What if I already am a coach?

Nope! Whether you are brand new to the field of coaching or have already been working with clients in a therapeutic environment, we meet you right where you’re at.

This program is highly personalized through the NCC mentoring, business mentoring, and ICF mentoring that are layered on top of the professional Nature-Connected Coaching curriculum. We guide you through the whole learning process, from mastering the unique, ceremonial coaching method we teach to launching a high-ticket, nature-based coaching service that speaks right to your Soul!

So whether you’re doing a complete career change or already have some coaching experience, you’ll learn things here that you can’t learn anywhere else.

Is this program accredited?

Yes! Our NCC Certification is accredited for 315 hours of Level 2 (PCC) Professional Coach Education by the International Coach Federation. This means that your certification is pre-approved for an international Professional Coach Credential, making the final steps with the ICF quick and easy.

This program is also academically accredited for graduate and undergraduate credits through Western State Colorado University.

Start a journey that will transform your life & the lives of everyone you work with.
