Mind-Body Coach Training
Learn how to harness the power of the mind-body connection for you and your clients. With the mind-body coach training program, you can help your clients relieve symptoms associated with chronic stress or physical pain as well as learn to use their bodies as tools to access their own inner wisdom.
As coaches, we can facilitate incredible growth and change for our clients when we consider the mind and body as a single, unified entity. In the cutting-edge field of mind-body medicine, people are learning that the best way to achieve healthy and fulfilling lives is to do just that: recognize that the mind is part of the body and to treat it as a whole.
As mind-body coaches, I truly believe we are leading a powerful and transformative way to live. It’s ancient and yet it’s also brand new, because we have new knowledge and understanding to help us facilitate energetic flow between mind, body, and soul.
As a mind-body coach, you do not have to only focus on working with clients who have physical pain; This type of coaching can be applied to many mind-body issues such as weight, body image dissatisfaction, chronic stress, anxiety and much more.

Pre-Training Program Begins September 2011!
To begin learning the Healthy Life Mind-Body Tools, you’ll need to start with the Healthy Mind Toolbox Audio Course.
This course includes the basic mind-body tools. Once you have these under your belt, you can study the advanced tools with me.
Whether you have already started the Healthy Mind Toolbox Audio Course or not, you will want time to really digest and understand these tools before starting the advanced tools, so I have set up a Pre-Training Program for you. If you are just now deciding to join the program and are disappointed because the Pre-Training is already in session, do not worry! As long as there is still room in the training, you’re still welcome to join. The Pre-Training Program is recorded, and you can catch up to the group on your own time by listening to those recordings. My intention in creating this Pre-Training is all about you – to give you extra time to learn the basics before we dive in to the training itself. It’s about making everything easier for you!
*** The Pre-Training Program is required for all trainees. ***
[If you don't have the Healthy Mind Toolbox Audio Course, purchase it now.]
I loved every moment of [the mind/body coach training program]!! I loved the content calls, asking questions, coaching each other, and being coached by Abigail. I loved the forum, the community. It was the best money I have ever spent on any coach training program. No contest. It really transformed me and I have so much more confidence coaching now. I’m so thankful I didn’t miss the opportunity!!~Anu Gupta, Career Coach, Successful Scientist |

Healthy Life Mind-Body Coach Training October 2011-April 2012
- Self-Study Component: Previously recorded Advanced Mind-Body Tool Training Audio Classes
• You will be listening to last year’s mind-body coach training calls to digest the content in this course and give you extra quality time with me. Also, this means we can spend more time on my new, updated content.
- Q/A and Coaching Calls: You bring content questions and issues you’d like to be coached on – I mix together answering questions and coaching you
• To be an incredible mind-body coach, you must start with yourself. A portion of the training includes you getting coached by me. This serves two purposes – you work through your own mind-body process, and you hear repeated examples of me coaching.
- Coach Practicum Calls: You coach each other
• This is where you practice live, make mistakes, and learn a LOT! Plus, you get another chance to get coached.
- Homework: Regularly assigned homework throughout the course
• Self-Coaching Homework
• Client Practice Homework
• Group Coaching Homework (with your peers)
• These are all structured to help you practice as much as possible, without feeling completely overwhelmed. Think of the homework as a supportive part of your training, not a torture!
- Recorded Coaching Submissions
• 1 sample will be turned in to me, with feedback given by me. A second sample will be turned in to an Endorsed Coach for feedback from them.
- Final Exam
• Written Test
• 15-Minute Coaching Session – You coach Abigail.
• Mind-Body Coaching Hours Submission (50 hours required)
• Flexible additions – there may be additional requirements depending on your individual needs
I want to thank [Abigail] from the bottom of my heart, for the opportunity to take this Mind-Body Coach Training Program. It has been THE missing link to my weight loss journey. As of now, I have released 18 pounds of excess weight, in a very lovely and easy way. Not only that, but I gained a LOT for my coaching practice itself…! Along with the weight, I also let go of the fear and uncertainty about my coaching niche…~Jessica Vazquez |

Healthy Life Mind-Body Coach Endorsement
Coaches who have completed the training successfully and complete the Endorsement Process will become Endorsed Healthy Life Mind-Body Coaches.
You will not receive a certification due to legal issues around that process.
Endorsement is NOT an additional fee but is included in the training price.
To receive an endorsement, you must:
- Complete all homework assignments (homework is assigned in categories: self-coaching assignments, coaching mind-body clients, and writing assignments)
- Complete the recorded coaching samples and attend your feedback sessions about them
- Listen to all audio class recordings and attend live classes (missing a few classes is okay and understandable, within reason)
- Actively participate in the forum and Abigail’s Mind-Body Forum
- Complete the final exam successfully
- Turn in 50 paid/non-paid coaching hours (a mix is fine)
- Sign the Endorsement Agreement and “Mind-Body Coaching Code of Ethics”
Here is what endorsement includes:
- Listing on my website
- Opportunities for client referrals (Endorsed Coaches are able to apply for the Endorsed Coach Referral Program, which involves a more active referral process than just a website listing. I actively recommend and “sell” you to clients when my calendar is full.)
- Opportunities to work with me on various projects (this means you suggest ideas to me! I take them into consideration and decide what feels right for me and my business.)
- Opportunities to give your own mind-body telecourses and advertise through the Healthy Life email list
- A Healthy Life Mind-Body Coach Logo
- Free use of all Healthy-Life Mind-Body tools with your clients
- Opportunities to be hired to teach mind-body classes
Coaching with Abigail on a personal trauma experience, (which I had previously tried to dissolve with every tool in my box), convinced me beyond a doubt that learning more about the connection between our emotional processing and our cognitive and physical experience would benefit my clients – and me – greatly.This has proved to be true. The shift in my relationship with my physical being has been as significant as the shift in my relationship with my thoughts was through LCT. As a result, I have the awareness and tools to coach my clients in an additional dimension, helping them find, honor, and dissolve their pain starting at the deepest level.Abigail’s fund of knowledge and experience resonates with the fact-finder in me. She is an empathetic and easy person with whom to make mistakes (even if there are no mistakes). She is an active part of the process on- and off-call and gives great value as well as coaching.–Ann Burrish, Endorsed Healthy Life Mind-Body Coach |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I sample the course content before I sign up?
A: Yes! If you’d like to get a sample of some of the tools and techniques you can use in your coaching practice with your clients, I offer a free audio course and class handouts for you to get started.
- Audio Download: Mind Body Coaching Tools for Coaches & their Clients
- Class handouts: Mind Body Coaching Handouts
Q: I have additional questions. What’s the best way to ask them?
A: I recently recorded a Q&A call to answer any questions about the upcoming Mind-Body Coach Training program. You may download the recording here.
If your questions aren’t answered in the call recording, please email me.
Q: I’m not sure if I’m interested in/ready to be endorsed as a mind-body coach. Is there another option for me to take the training without the obligation of getting endorsed?
A: I am offering two (2) spots for coaches to audit the coursework for a slight discounted rate. This means that you may participate in the pre-work, the calls, and on the forum, but do not need to submit call recordings or homework until you are ready to be endorsed, if at all. Final extra payment will be required when/if you decide to become endorsed. The final payment will be the difference between $4,000 and your reduced auditing training fee. Please email me if you are interested in auditing this program for a reduced fee.
Q: Are there any prerequisites for joining your coaching program?
A: It is preferred that you have received your certification in the Martha Beck Life Coach Training Program (see Martha Beck’s website) as a prerequisite for this course. If you have other experiences and/or skills that you feel would give you a good foundation for this course (e.g., attended Byron Katie’s School for The Work, attended another coaching program, have experience in the field of counseling, or family therapy or alternative healing), please email me and we can schedule a short consult to discuss your request for participation.
Q: I’m not sure I’m ready to sign up. Will you be offering the mind-body coach training program again?
A: Most likely, however, at this time, I’m thinking it will be a year or a year and a half before I’ll be offering it again, due to scheduling in 2012. That’s why I’m offering it now, shortly after finishing up the recent training. Spring and Fall 2012 are shaping up to be very busy! I am currently the Life Coach Training Coordinator for Martha Beck, Inc.
Q: I’m confused by the payment and registration options, can you help clear that up for me?
A: If you pay in full, I offer you a $500 discount so you only pay $3500 for the entire training program. If you would prefer a payment plan, I offer you two options: an 8-month payment plan and a 2-installation payment plan for the full $4000 fee. Once you hold your place with a deposit of $500, you will have until October 4, 2011 to choose your final payment plan – either paying the balance of $3000 in full or selecting one of the other two payment plans. If you have questions about payment, please contact Beth at assistant@thehealthylifecoach.com.
I first became aware of Abigail in late 2008 when a friend referred me to her blog. Having suffered with chronic pelvic pain for more than 20 years, I had tried everything I could find, without lasting results. When she offered The Healthy Mind Toolbox Telecourse in spring 2009 I jumped at the chance to learn mind-body healing for myself. It saved my life.Following Abigail’s path, I got certified as a Martha Beck Life Coach in fall 2010. When Abigail offered the Mind-Body Coach Training in January 2011, I hesitated to sign up since I had recently finished the Martha Beck Life Coach Training and this class was another investment. I thought I had a good understanding of the mind-body tools from using the Healthy Mind Toolbox, being coached by Abigail and daily self-coaching. I finally convinced myself (and my husband) that this additional training would be valuable for me. I never regretted the investment.I [have] learned so much more from Abigail about mind-body coaching than I could ever have gotten on my own and I am so glad I did it! I continue to be impressed and inspired by Abigail’s innovation, creativity, courage and brilliance. I love the way she teaches; her loving kindness is so present and healing. I also liked having a small group of 10 students where we could get to know each other. I felt like I got lots of attention and feedback. The training forum is awesome. I like that continuing education is included, there is no additional fee for endorsement and the training forum stays available to graduates of the program. I truly appreciate Abigail’s generosity. I value that I can now help people who are suffering in pain syndromes heal with the tools I learned from her. The mind-body tools are so powerful, all you need is an understanding and practice of how to use the tools and it feels like you are just facilitating the client going inside and getting the information she needs to live her life more fully. I now feel like a midwife helping people birth their authentic selves.~Gail Kenny, Life Coach |
