How to Lead Transformational Group Programs for Health Coaches
A step-by-step guide to design and deliver your signature group coaching program
Are you ready to lead transformational groups and create healing environments for your clients?
In the last 13+ years of being in the healing arts I’ve come to learn that a key component of healing is having supportive connections with other people. It’s because of witnessing this simple fact that I’ve spent years creating and delivering group coaching programs in my practice and have seen amazing and truly transformational results.
I love groups because they allow us to see ourselves reflected in another, they create community and meaningful connection, and allow you as the practitioner to share your wisdom and knowledge with more people in less time.
The problem is, we don’t often get training in our practitioner programs on how to lead groups effectively, so we’re left with a lot of knowledge and confidence gaps when it comes to creating and delivering group programs.
If we’re deciding to hold space for others it’s our responsibility to make sure we are well equipped to be the leaders our clients need and I’m passionate about helping people find the tools to create spaces that allow for healing to occur.

“Christina’s depth and insight into group coaching is second to none. By far the best education I’ve recieved in group coaching - I use the skills and lessons every day in my practice. This program is a masterclass.”
Learn to hold transformative space
If you’re here I know you’re feeling the call to lead groups and create environments for healing to occur. But you might be:
Overwhelmed by the logistics of group creation (How much do I charge? How do I structure my program? How many live calls do I offer? Help!)
Unclear about how to make a group offering uniquely your own
Feeling nervous to lead groups because you haven't learned space-holding skills in your 1:1 coaching training
Confused about how to translate personalized support into a group setting
If you’re feeling any of these things, I’ve got you!
Instead of winging it and leading groups unprepared (a recipe for disaster and potential harm), or learning facilitations skills that don’t relate directly to health coaching, I want to equip you with a robust group coaching toolkit that supports not only your clients but also YOU as the space holder. These skills are essential tools for any coach’s toolkit and will open up the magical world of group coaching for you and your practice!
Offering groups is also an amazing way to maximize your time and scale your business! But only if you have cultivated the ability within yourself to hold the power and responsibility of a group with integrity and skill. When we run groups in this way clients feel the difference and can’t wait to sign up for your transformational offerings.

There is something special that only YOU can offer the world, are you ready to uncover it?

In order to offer powerful and aligned group programs we must deeply understand our clients and their unique needs. I will take you through exercises to get to know your ideal client and gather important information together that will make your clients feel seen and say "Wow, this is for me!"

This program is specifically teaching the skills around delivering health, nutrition and lifestyle coaching groups. Although many of the same skills apply to group space holding, the focus is not on running support groups, therapy groups, or AA type groups.

Good question! This course is 6 modules long and is designed to be completed in the span of 6-8 weeks (it may take you a little longer than a week to get through the 10 essential coaching skills module).
I provide step-by-step videos so I’m by your side creating every step of the way! Because we all move at different paces, you have access to the curriculum for a spacious 12 months to go at your own speed and refer back to the materials as much as needed.
But here’s the deal, this course is very intentionally not an “open-ended” course because I really want you to take the steps to create your program and get it out in the world! I know with 100% certainty that the world needs more healing communities NOW and that the world needs you!
I help people create (imperfect) action and get the ball rolling, so that’s what we’re going to do together in this program and I can’t WAIT to see what you create!
