Masters of Embodiment Coaching
Next intake January • Tuesdays & Wednesdays 5pm UK (12pm ET / 9am PT)
Your next step after CEC...
Integrate your CEC skills, gain three advanced certifications and receive personal mentorship
Advanced Techniques, Trauma & Toolkit Certifications
Small-group support
Flexible live or recorded options
Ready to go deeper?
CEC gives you the foundations.
But if you want to embed those skills and coach at a higher level, the Masters of Embodiment Coaching (MEC) is a natural next step.
Across 15 months, MEC lets you deepen at a gentler pace. Over 2-3 hours per week – live or recorded as suits you – you’ll confidently build on what you’ve learned without overwhelm.
MEC is designed for embodiment coaches who want more practical tools and more personal attention, along with steady integration.
You’ll be part of a committed cohort, get small‑group supervision with me, and receive bonus practical marketing feedback so your coaching is deeper and more sustainable.
What you'll walk away with
By the end of MEC, you won’t just “know more” – you’ll coach more effectively, with cohesive frameworks, practical tools and personal feedback to back it up.
- Advanced Coaching Techniques Certification: Move beyond the basics with Distinction, Teleological, Humour, Emotional Flow, Body Listening and Parts Coaching to handle complex clients and create consistent breakthroughs.
- Trauma Coaching Certification: Confidently spot trauma responses, work ethically and sensitively, build self‑regulation and resilience, and know exactly when to refer.
- Embodied Toolkit Certification (all 26 poses): Master the full system and bring reliable, embodied interventions into 1-to-1 and group coaching, supporting clients to shift state quickly and embed new patterns.
- Personalised supervision & mentorship: Get my direct feedback in small groups to deepen your embodiment, sharpen client work, and cultivate real confidence session-by-session.
- Values‑aligned marketing & practice growth: Practical guidance (with Tad Hargrave) on niching, ethical marketing, money psychology, list‑building and sales pages, so your business grows without selling your soul.
Your MEC journey: structured, sustainable & supportive
MEC is designed to fit into busy professional lives – no burnout, no overwhelm, just purposeful learning:
- Four semesters over 15 months: Build steadily over an immersive journey that's long enough to truly integrate your learning, short enough to stay focused.
-
Twice-weekly live sessions (recorded for flexibility): Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 5pm UK time (6pm CET / 12pm ET / 9am PT).
Coaching supervision & marketing support runs on Tuesdays, the Certifications run on Wednesdays. - Approx. 2–3 hrs/week (plus optional peer work): Structured to support deep learning without crowding your schedule, so you can grow consistently without burning out.
- Cohort support plus flexibility: Learning alongside other experienced coaches keeps things meaningful and connected, even when you can’t attend live.
Semester 1: Trauma Coaching Certification
Develop trauma-informed coaching skills with compassion and competence. You’ll learn to recognise (and work skilfully with) trauma responses, strengthen emotional regulation, and maintain ethical boundaries as to when it’s time to refer.
This integrates what I learnt from the Sane Ukraine project and addresses trauma in a way that can be enjoyable to explore. You’ll:
- Develop trauma "superpowers" as a coach, turning the worst things that happened to you into your greatest strengths
- Understand trauma at a deeper, embodied level, recognising subtle signs and responses in clients
- Confidently use specialised trauma-informed embodiment practices to help clients build resilience and self-regulation
- Learn clear, ethical boundaries for trauma-informed coaching, knowing exactly when to refer to therapy
Semester 2: Advanced Coaching Techniques Certification
Go beyond CEC basics and develop powerful new approaches to coaching, helping you to handle complex client needs and create consistently impactful sessions. The 6 new techniques are:
- Distinction Coaching: Probably the coaching tool I use most personally
- Teleological coaching: If Aristotle coached...
- Humour Coaching: The method behind my madness 😉
- Emotional Flow Coaching: Okay, okay, feelings matter…
- Body Listening Coaching: The wisdom of the body and all that (similar to Focusing)
- Parts Coaching: Fashionable now but something I’ve done for years - part of me wants X, part wants Y, so learn how to integrate...
Semester 3: Embodiment Leadership
Own the fact that you’re already a leader – of clients, groups, families and communities – and learn to lead in a way that’s honest, embodied and sustainable.
In this semester we’ll work directly with your body to move past “playing small”, impostor syndrome and fear of visibility, so you can have a bigger impact without selling your soul or burning out. You’ll:
- Clarify your authentic leadership style and values, using embodied exercises rather than just clever ideas
- Work with authority, boundaries and being seen in a leadership context
- Design and run a small real-world leadership project, so you’re not just learning about leadership but actually leading something that matters
- Learn how to coach clients around leadership themes (stepping up, people-pleasing, “who am I to lead?”, fear of success/failure) so you can support the kind of leaders the world actually needs
Semester 4: Embodied Toolkit Certification
Master all 26 powerful embodiment poses so they become intuitive tools in your practice, whether you’re working 1-to-1 or with groups. You’ll:
- Integrate Toolkit into your existing coaching
- Clearly demonstrate each Toolkit pose confidently and effectively
- Instantly help clients shift from stuck or stressed to clear and confident
- Receive personalised feedback and mentoring as you embed these poses into your work
The 26 Embodied Toolkit poses you'll learn:

What I love about MEC
As someone who’s dedicated their life to teaching embodiment, the most rewarding thing for me is developing real, meaningful relationships with my students. I love mentoring people personally as coaches and facilitators.
CEC is great, but big, and people really flourish with a bit more individual feedback. It also just takes people a bit longer to get relaxed and creative with the work.
Over the years, mentoring students has been one of my deepest joys. Really, I live for this shit 😀
MEC isn’t just sexy new techniques – it’s about connection. I go for walks, catch-up over coffees when I’m in town, give people a “behind-the-scenes” look at marketing work or live workshops, and really get to know people. I think that’s worth a lot in this inhuman age.
This personal approach is key. It allows me to nurture students in ways that simply aren’t possible in larger, more anonymous online courses.”
Personal relationships & mentoring
MEC gives us the opportunity to form real relationships over time. I get to know you and what you do personally.
Along with the live online webinars every week, I encourage MECers to get to at least one in-person event so we can hang out a bit more, too. You’ll get to be part of what we do behind the scenes, and we can go for walks, lunches, etc. too.
From what I hear, this personal touch is what many are really looking for. Expect plenty of selfies like this to be shared in our private WhatsApp group after we meet 🙂
"MEC is a program that makes a big difference for me.
Firstly, I am part of a community of coaches and facilitators, which is motivating for me, it keeps me going.
At the same time, I am growing as a person and as a coach because of the supervision, coaching from Mark and other apprentices. I have the opportunity to deepen my coaching principles and learn new techniques.
And finally, I really appreciate the regular sessions from guests who bring their know how in different areas from marketing, business building, niche to other methods of working with clients."
- Daniel Navratil (Czechia)
"I am able to focus on what will make the biggest difference in my business creation."
- Magali Barreyat-Baron (UK)
"MEC helped me to truly start embodying my business and act on it."
- Katja Le Clercq (Netherlands)
"I got the inspiration to move forward with my business."
- Kristen Huber (USA)
"Mark's approach on teaching live was a well needed reality check at the point I needed it. My confidence and opportunity has excelled quicker in months than it has for two years."
- Timothy J. Rowe (UK)
The team
Core team
Mark Walsh teaches embodiment, trauma education and resilience.
He is the author of Embodiment, The Body in Training and Coaching, Embodied Meditation and People Un-Pleasing.
He hosts The Embodiment Coaching Podcast (2 million+ downloads), and led The Embodiment Conference (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?
He co-founded the Embodied Facilitator Course, and the online Certificate of Embodiment Coaching Course. He has certified over 2000 embodiment coaches, and taught workshops in over 40 countries.
Mark gained an honours in psychology, despite been an alcoholic at the time.
He has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal).
He has worked in war zones (including founding a trauma education charity in Ukraine), and entertained over 50,000 children.
Mark has headlined International Coach Federation events, lived with the circus and in slums, taught celebrities, and kissed a princess.
He's an aikido black belt, and also has 28 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation.
Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else.
Mark dances like your dad at a wedding, impresses cats with his stroking, and offends pirates with his swearing.
He is now tired of writing in the third person. It’s getting weird.

Core Trainer
After a career as a doctor within the National Health Service, spanning 25 years, Helen retired as consultant psychiatrist due to health challenges in 2017.
Initially she found herself floundering in a new existence, with illness, pain and fatigue, and little idea how to help herself.
Having practised yoga on and off since the age of 16, she completed her teacher training and a array of other courses, including Spiritual Coaching, with Caroline Shola Arewa and Embodiment Coaching, with Embodiment Unlimited.
Helen's Yoga training was completed with Yoga Alliance International directly with Swami Vidyanand, and also with YogaCourse, YogaRenew. She deepened her training by working with Kristine Weber of Subtle Yoga since around 2018.
As a life-long learner, Helen has and continues to complete an array of other trainings.
Since retirement she's channelled her passion into holistic wellness: yoga, embodiment, building wellness and resilience.
She particularly likes working with people with persistent health issues, pain and fatigue.
Helen also supports people with stress, overwhelm and burnout (they are often the same people!)
She offers a blend of yoga, meditation, education, and embodiment exploration practices designed to promote wellness and resilience.
Sessions are crafted to be slow and mindful, fostering a deep connection within.
Whether you're new to yoga or have long standing experience, these practices are accessible.
Practices are all about developing your 'nervous system resilience'

Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again).
He spent his late teens being schooled in a mixed bag of approaches to sales and marketing – some manipulative and some not. When that career ended, he spent a decade unlearning and unpacking what he’d been through.
How had he been swept up in it? Why didn’t those approaches work as well as advertised? Were there ways of marketing that both worked better and felt better to all involved? It took him time but he began to find a better way to market.
By 2006, he had become one of the first, full-time ‘conscious business’ marketing coaches (for hippies) and created a business where he could share the understanding he had come to: Marketing could feel good. You didn’t have to choose between marketing that worked (but felt awful) or marketing that felt good (but got you no clients).
Since 2001, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, the United States, Europe, and online, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls). Instead of charging outrageous amounts, he started doing most of his events on a pay what you can basis. He is the author of sixteen books and workbooks on marketing.
Tad currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta (traditionally known, in the local indigenous language of the Cree, as Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hill) and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan (Beaver Hill House)) and his ancestors come primarily from Scotland with some from the Ukraine as well. He is now dedicated to spending the rest of his days preserving and fostering a more deeply respectful, beautiful and human culture.

Got questions about MEC?
September 2025, with an August break after CEC ends. We all need a “winter” (even though it’s summer for most!) 🙂
Graduates or current students of CEC who want to deepen their coaching skills, master advanced techniques, and receive personalised support.
Yep, it’s designed to help you integrate and embody what you’ve learned during CEC. It provides ample repetition of key principles alongside gradually introduced new content, ensuring deep integration without overwhelm.
All live sessions are recorded, and you’ll have ongoing access to replays, the private WhatsApp community group, plus personal mentoring to ensure you keep up.
No, MEC is intentionally less intensive. Attendance at all live sessions isn’t mandatory. For certifications, you simply need to attend (or watch recordings of) the Wednesday sessions. Peer groups are optional and can fit around your schedule.
MEC is accredited by Embodiment Unlimited and includes advanced training recognised in professional coaching circles, complementing CEC.
Yes – we may be able to offer flexible, customised instalment plans to accommodate your needs. Email Virginia on support@embodimentunlimited.com to set that up.
Yes, if places are available. Spots for MEC + 1-1 are limited, so early commitment is encouraged.
- Tuesdays: Live coaching supervision, mentoring, and marketing masterminds
- Wednesdays: Structured certification sessions for Toolkit, Trauma, or Advanced Techniques
Both run live at 5pm UK (6pm CET / 12pm ET / 9am PT), with recordings available afterwards.
Still have questions? Many of you have my WhatsApp number if you want to reach out directly, otherwise email Virginia on support@embodimentunlimited.com with questions.
