Become a certified embodiment coach

CEC is for those who want to be certified graduates and get the associated 37 ICF CCE’s. CEC requires:

• 80% live attendance at Tuesday calls
• Attend opening and graduation calls (see the schedule)
• Complete all coursework, including peer groups, practices and exam

If you don’t care about certifying or can’t make it live, then ECC may be a better choice. ECC has no live components so you can complete the learning in your own time.

NOTE: If you join CEC and special life situations arise, we can be flexible in making exceptions in individual cases, as long as you tell us ASAP (don’t wait several months and then come and ask).

MEC is a 2-year program designed for those who want everything they need to make a career out of embodiment coaching. 

CEC’s the foundation but it includes an extra live coaching and live marketing small-group call with myself (plus external experts) every week, along with:

• Access to all the courses we’ve ever made (leadership, marketing, purpose, resilience, boundaries, etc.)
• Tickets to all in-person events worldwide for two years
• Access to all new courses we offer in the next two years
• Twenty 1-to-1 coaching calls with me on topics of your choice
• Private WhatsApp community with other “MECers”
• Personal introductions to my extensive network, along with a mentor a mentor who cares
• And some more bonus stuff I’ll throw in, which my accountant will likely give me grief about 😉 

Honestly, it’s not for everyone, or even for most people, as you’ll need some space.

We’ll also need to be a good fit for one another, as we’ll be spending plenty of time interacting, which is why you’ll need to apply.

We do CEC once per year, so if you can’t join in 2025, 2026 is the next training cycle.

It will likely increase in price by about 30% for 2026.

No – you can choose to attend only one of the three weekly timeslots offered, either 9am, 6pm or 2am UK time. 

It doesn’t need to be the same time every week, and you’re also allowed to attend more than one if you want.

But to graduate CEC you must come live at least 80% of the weeks. As there are live webinars on 25 weeks, that means you must attend 20 of the live Tuesday slots over the entirety of CEC.

If this isn’t possible, you may prefer to join ECC and complete the course in your own time, as there won’t be any live components.

Yes, you get a total of 37 hours (Core Competency hours and Resource Development hours) from the ICF for graduating from CEC, as long as you complete the certification requirements (minimal live attendance, completion of coursework, etc.). 

Not at all.

We don’t imagine you’re completely new to embodiment, otherwise you wouldn’t have found your way here anyway.

CEC has four main groups of students – existing coaches, those who would like to become coaches, group teachers or facilitators, and people who simply love embodiment or personal growth. 

All are welcome!

No. You’re very welcome to use all the tools in your coaching and teaching, but if you train others, we’d ask you to mention the original sources.

You’ll notice we do this with much of what we’ve learnt too, whether it’s peacemaking from Paul Linden, embodied leadership from Wendy Palmer, trauma work from the likes of David Berceli and David Treleaven, or whatever else.

It’s basic ethics and respect.

CEC likely isn’t for you, as it requires a time commitment of 5-6 hours a week minimum. 

That being said, the majority of the course is flexible and can be done in your own time, other than the live webinars, so it could work around a busy schedule.

If you don’t have 5-6 hours per week, you may prefer to join ECC, so you can complete it in your own time.

Yes. This course is designed to give you practical tools that you can actually apply to mainstream and business environments.

Many of the facilitators have worked extensively at a high level in corporate environments around the world and with other sceptical groups.

Well, different styles suit different people. But if you’re sick of the guru-led, new-age stuff that’s out there – this course will be a breath of fresh air.

We’re one of the best when it comes to clarity and practicality too, and like to have fun while we learn. We’re happy to recommend alternative courses if this doesn’t sound like you.

Besides all of that, we’ve trained more embodiment coaches than anyone else, so we know what we’re doing!

Yes. CEC gives you some great practical tools to coach with the body confidently and safely. We are world class in teaching this.

We also recommend complete beginners attend a standard coach training in addition if they are completely new to the career. In some countries this may also be necessary for insurance.

Hell no. The team who run the course have a sense of humour and like to have fun while they teach. If you’re easily offended, this isn’t the course for you. Please go back to the safe space that spawned you 🙂

Yes. Don’t worry if you miss a few live sessions here and there, you’ll be able to catch up in your own time.

However, do make sure you attend a minimum of 80% of live calls if you want to graduate.

For ECC, the recorded sessions are what you will have access to, so there actually isn’t a requirement for live attendance.

Please know in addition to the course, we ask you to read some books that may cause additional payments.

To certify, you’ll also need to try out a few different practices with other providers that can carry small fees, and commit to a new practice starting from April, which may also have fees (depending on the provider).

If you’re keen, you may also choose to join Mark for some live in-person workshops, but they’re not required to certify. If you choose to join these, we may be able to give you a CEC discount.

Yes. Although please be mindful that working with the body can be triggering.

This course is purely educational, so if you are in need of therapy, please seek help from qualified professionals.

This course not only contains live components in the form of webinars, but also incorporates peer group meetings in real time.

By tracking your process through our purpose-built learning platform and practice journals, we help you stay focused and ensure you see the course through.

We’re proud to say that 84% of students who join CEC graduate. The personalised support we offer is what sets us apart from many other courses.

Yes. Weekly handouts, homework and occasional assignments will be issued to help you properly digest the learning.

We have found that having a live element of the course increases accountability and completion rates (as can be seen from over 80% completion rate last year). If, for some reason, however, you do not manage to complete, you can do it again next year, for a small fee to cover admin costs.

If you know in advance that you won’t be able to meet the live requirements, you may prefer to join ECC.
