2,000+ certified in 40+ countries 37 ICF CCE hours
A 6-month live online certification. Support clients to transform their lives through nervous system informed embodiment coaching.
“CEC had a huge impact by giving me tools that made my coaching so much more powerful.” — Fabiana Legradic, Coach (Switzerland)
Talking brings insight. The body makes change usable under stress.
Under stress, people revert to old patterns. That’s why we work with state: clients regain choice. You’ll learn to do this through weekly practice and feedback.
For your clients
How you learn it
Watch a short demo:
A live, practical programme built around practice, feedback and clear standards - so you’re not guessing. By the end, you’ll be able to coach beyond words, using embodied, trauma-aware tools with real people.
Months 1-2 - Foundations
Regulation tools, embodied listening, core coaching moves, and trauma-aware boundaries.
Months 3-4 - Application
Weekly practice, peer groups, and feedback - applying tools with real humans, not theory.
Months 5-6 - Integration and certification
Clear standards, recorded assessment, and support to graduate confident and competent.
Practise in breakouts every session and again in peer groups, so skill becomes embodied (not conceptual).
Small groups plus course-manager support create accountability - and it’s why most people actually finish.
Competence criteria, demos and a short recorded assessment show you what “good” looks like.
Simple body-based techniques and micro-practices clients can use between sessions, so change sticks outside the call.
Built for people who work with clients (or want to) and want somatic, trauma-aware tools that hold up under stress. Expect weekly practice, feedback, and clear standards.
A professional, trauma-aware coaching certification built around practice and clear standards. You won’t just learn tools - you’ll learn how to use them with real clients.
Counts towards ICF renewal (Core Competencies + Resource Development). Even if you’re not ICF-tracked, it’s a recognised quality marker.
A steady weekly rhythm (Feb–Aug) with three time-zone options - practice, feedback, and integration, not just watching videos.
Record a short session to clear criteria and get feedback. You finish knowing you can do this safely, not hoping you can.
Progress from core embodied skills to client application, step by step - so you’re not improvising your way through learning.
Draw from 10+ modalities to develop a grounded coaching style - without getting stuck in one method or one “right way”.
Peer practice groups plus team support in a culturally aware, multilingual environment - so you get reps, not just ideas.
A faculty of coaches, somatic educators and trauma-aware practitioners. You’ll learn from people who do this work in the real world - and can teach it clearly.

Respected voices on why embodied, trauma-aware practice matters — and how CEC turns principles into practical coaching tools.
Gabor Maté, MD
Physician & Author
“Embodiment is an essential component of healing, and Embodiment Unlimited does valuable work bringing its importance to the public. I have enjoyed working with this innovative organisation.”
So what? CEC makes embodiment a foundational, trauma-aware practice coaches can apply immediately.
Stephen Porges, PhD
Originator, Polyvagal Theory
“Challenges to our safety make us strangers in our own body. Embodiment Unlimited provides important resources informing individuals about practices leading to an effective ‘re-embodiment’ that enhances mental and physical health.”
So what? CEC trains re-embodiment tools that help clients regulate and build safety, aligned with the Polyvagal perspective.
Jamie Catto
Author & Facilitator
“The embodied work Mark and the team do is both creative and practical. As a facilitator I get a lot from teaching alongside them and love the mix of humour and pragmatism.”
So what? Expect an approach that’s creative and grounded, with pragmatic skills you can use in rooms with real people.
Training embodiment coaches is my core work. It’s what we do best.
CEC is built to be practical. You’ll practise, get feedback, and leave with tools you can use with real people.
Time-wise: plan for about 5-6 hours a week if you want the full benefit.
If you’re up for that, I hope to see you in CEC.
— Mark Walsh, Founder and lead trainer
Built for busy people to stay on track and graduate competent.
If you show up and do the work - attend, practise, submit assessments - and your coaching still isn’t at certification standard, we’ll give you clear feedback and a straightforward route to re-assess until it is. (See FAQ.)

The trauma-aware library and coaching demo's library are included as bonuses until Jan 23.

The practical questions people ask before joining CEC.
Life happens. Tuesdays are the one you need to prioritise - 80% live Tuesday attendance is required to certify. That means you can miss up to 20% and still qualify.
If you miss a Tuesday, you can watch the replay to keep up with the learning. Certification depends on meeting the attendance requirement and completing the assessment.
If something big changes (health, family, work), email us as soon as you can. We’ll look at sensible options with you, including deferring certification to a later cohort where possible.
Plan for 5-6 hours a week on average. That includes a live session, peer practise, and short integration tasks.
We keep admin light. This is skills training - you learn by doing.
Yes. Sessions are recorded and available as replays so you can stay on track if you miss something.
You submit a short recorded coaching session. It’s assessed against a clear rubric, and you get practical feedback on what to improve.
We don’t leave people guessing. You get clear criteria, feedback, and the chance to resubmit your recorded assessment if needed so you finish competent and confident.
There is no extra fee for resubmitting within the programme period.
CEC is trauma-aware and teaches scope, safety, and ethics. It is not therapy.
If you are currently in acute distress or struggling to stay resourced day to day, prioritise stabilisation first. If you are unsure, email us and we will help you think it through.
Yes - instalment plans are available at checkout, and we can provide an invoice and an employer pack for learning budgets.
CEC includes 37 ICF CCE hours, which can help with CPD and credential renewal.
We don’t make income promises. The straightforward version is: graduates usually use CEC to improve their results with existing clients, increase referrals, and/or offer more confident 1-to-1 work, workshops, or internal coaching.
Check the terms at checkout first - they include the formal policy on refunds or transfers.
If you are unsure before buying, email us and ask the awkward questions. We would rather help you make a clean decision than push you through the door.
CEC provides 37 ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours for credential renewal (Core Competencies + Resource Development).
Employers vary - many accept it as CPD when you provide a syllabus and invoice (we do).
Insurance varies by provider and country. We can provide a certificate of completion and course details, but you’ll need to confirm requirements with your insurer.
Practical, human, and a bit playful. You’ll practise a lot, get feedback, and we’ll keep it grounded.
Also: Mark occasionally swears. If that’s a hard no for you, better to skip this one.
Yes. Use them with clients.
If you’re running public workshops, attribution is appreciated, but in 1-to-1 coaching it’s not required.
There are a few books we recommend (we’ll send a list). Some people source them second-hand or via a library.
Some practise experiments involve trying things in the real world. You can keep this low-cost, but you might choose to pay for an occasional class (for example yoga or martial arts). Nothing expensive is designed into the programme.
Coaching that works with mind and body together. Beyond talk alone, we use simple state-shifters (breath, posture, gaze, micro-movement) so clients regulate under pressure, learn faster, and turn insight into action.
Train the skills, practise them live, and get assessed. CEC is a 6-month, practice-heavy training with a short recorded assessment and feedback so you finish competent, safe and confident.
Yes. CEC is a live, online programme that builds embodied and somatic coaching skills. You also get 37 ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours for credential renewal (Core Competencies + Resource Development).
