Do you dream of becoming a certified embodiment coach to make a difference in a way that truly matters?
Imagine using your coaching skills or embodied practice to create real, lasting change – helping more people become deeply connected to themselves, each other, and the planet.
Many of us know how powerful embodiment can be. The question is: how can we use it to make the world kinder and more connected?
Becoming an embodiment coach is one answer. Coaching with the body is deeply transformative. It creates insights that lead to sustainable change because it connects people to the most concrete, authentic part of themselves.
Through the Certification of Embodiment Coaching (CEC), you’ll build the confidence and skills to become an effective embodiment coach.
CEC begins with a deep dive into your own embodiment. You’ll embark on a powerful personal growth journey where you master techniques from multiple modalities and integrate them into daily life. From there, you’ll learn how to guide others through lasting transformations.
The Certification of Embodiment Coaching includes:
Weekly live webinars and peer groups
Self-paced videos and daily practices
Real-life client work to refine your skills
This isn’t just another online course – it’s a global community. It’s also a step toward a fulfilling career… if that’s what you’re seeking.
Guided by our experienced, multicultural team, you’ll master the principles behind the techniques we teach on the Certification of Embodiment Coaching, empowering you to blend them with your existing practices and create your own unique approach.
If you’re already a coach or trainer, CEC helps you integrate embodied practices to deepen your work. Talk alone isn’t always enough. Embodied tools allow for meaningful, lasting shifts in your clients.
For group facilitators or teachers, CEC provides the skills to coach 1-to-1 and lead groups with confidence. Expand your offerings, stand out in a crowded marketplace, and meet your students’ needs in new ways.
And if you simply love embodiment, CEC offers a transformative personal growth journey. You’ll learn the tools to teach what you know and effectively support others.
Embodiment coaching isn’t just work – it’s potentially a fulfilling, ethical, and deeply rewarding career. Ready to get certified by 2026?

Clear structure that fits into busy lives
Peer group accountability that participants love
Dedicated course manager (shoutout to German uber-organiser Alina!)
Distraction-free discussion platforms off social media
Tech hosts and multilingual learning assistants for every call
CEC isn’t just another online course. Years of refining the online experience have made our sessions engaging. They’re anything but the usual “boring Zoom calls.” There will even be humour and bad jokes, so CEC may also not be for the easily-offended.
But… this program isn’t for everyone. We’re looking for students ready to commit and put in the effort.
I promise it’ll work if you do. And if you fully engage but don’t learn to coach with the body competently and safely, I’ll refund you personally.”
We bring together diverse views on embodiment and let you decide what resonates, never pushing a single "right way."
While we take the work seriously, we believe learning should be enjoyable. A sense of humour is essential for any of our courses.

You can’t just read your way into embodiment. Most of the learning is practice-based, both solo and with others.
Led by a culturally-diverse team, we approach learning with care, consent, and a trauma-informed lens.
We teach tools that work – no fluff, no jargon, and no "new-age" or "woke" nonsense.

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.

“Training embodied facilitators is my life’s work.
I do a lot: trauma education in Ukraine, corporate work, and even some embarrassing dad-disco dancing at weddings. But this? This is what I do best. I wrote the book, led the biggest conference, and host the longest-running podcast on embodiment. I love it.
My mission is simple: I want a saner, kinder, more embodied world. And I believe those things go hand in hand.
We have a unique style – practical and down-to-earth. If you’re looking for something ultra-spiritual or super “woke,” this isn’t it. And if you’re easily offended, you might want to skip this one – we make bad jokes, have fun, and keep it real.
That said, you won’t find a better embodiment coaching course. If you’re ready to learn, grow, and laugh along the way, I hope to see you on the Certification of Embodiment Coaching.”
