Keep growing after CEC in a more sustainable way
MEC is the advanced path for CEC graduates who want more confidence, more support, and more range as embodiment coaches without the intensity of CEC.
Your next step after CEC…
MEC is the advanced path for CEC graduates who want more confidence, more support, and more range as embodiment coaches without the intensity of CEC.
CEC is rich, intense, and often life-changing. I love it, and most students do too. But it’s a start.
MEC is what helps you become truly confident as an embodiment coach.
We recommend taking MEC straight away while you still have momentum from CEC. If you’ve just finished, there’s a month off first, so don’t worry. And if CEC stretched you a bit, MEC is lighter and more sustainable. Life happens too, so it’s flexible.
MEC is for you if you want:
MEC gives you a clear way to deepen the work with more support, more personal relationship, and more confidence over time.
If you have just finished CEC, MEC helps you keep the learning alive without another full-on weekly load.
That matters, because confidence usually does not come from doing one good training and hoping it all sticks. It comes from continued practice, supervision, support, and having someone in your corner while the work becomes more natural.
MEC is designed to help your CEC foundations become more embodied, more relaxed, and more reliable in practice.
It gives you a manageable structure to:
You do not need to throw yourself into something huge.
But if you want your CEC foundation to become coaching you can really trust, MEC is the place to do that.
By the end of MEC, you won’t just “know more”.
You’ll feel more confident, more grounded, and more sure of what you’re doing with clients. And you’ll have the practical tools, personal feedback, and real support to back it up.
Go beyond the CEC basics and learn six new approaches to coaching that help you work with more complexity and create more impactful sessions: Distinction Coaching, Theoregulation Coaching, Humour Coaching, Emotional Flow Coaching, Body Listening Coaching, and Parts Coaching.
Work with authority, boundaries, visibility, being seen, fear of success, leadership style, and stepping up without burning out or selling your soul.
Get Mark’s direct feedback in small groups so your confidence, embodiment, and client work deepen over time.
Learn the full 26-pose system so that Toolkit becomes intuitive in one-to-one and group work, helping clients shift state more quickly and embed new patterns more effectively.
Learn to recognise trauma responses, work more safely and ethically, support resilience and self-regulation, and know when coaching is enough or when referral is needed.
Get practical help with ethical marketing, money psychology, niche, list-building, sales pages, and making your coaching more sustainable in the real world.
CEC and MEC belong together, but they do different jobs.
CEC gives you the foundation.
MEC helps that foundation settle, deepen, and become more refined in practice.

CEC is where you build the core.
MEC is where you deepen it, integrate it, and get more confident using it in the real world, with more supervision, more support, and more relationship along the way.
For many people, the ideal journey is about two years in total – CEC plus MEC, with breaks built in.
MEC runs over 15 months and is designed to help you deepen your coaching without another CEC-level demand on your week.
It is lighter than CEC, but still serious. That means you get the support, supervision, and relationship many people need for the work to really land… But without it taking over your life.
This is where you bring the real work.
You join live coaching supervision, reflect on cases, refine your judgement, and learn through practice rather than theory alone.
Tuesdays also include marketing development, so you get practical help with making this work real in the world, not just interesting in theory.
Wednesdays are the teaching spine of MEC.
Across the 15 months, you move through four advanced certifications – one semester at a time – so the learning has shape, progression, and enough space to land.
This is not a random bundle of extras. It is a structured long-form development path.
MEC is usually around 3 hours per week. That is deliberately lighter than CEC.
It is built this way so you can:
Sessions are live, but recordings are available when life gets in the way. Tuesdays and Wednesdays run at 5pm UK (12pm ET / 9am PT).
For many people, the ideal route is roughly two years in total – CEC plus MEC, with breaks built in.
That gives you the foundation first, then the time, support, and structure to deepen it properly.
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.”
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 🙂

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'
Host & Support
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.

Part of what makes MEC valuable is that it is not just a weekly class.
It gives you more personal support and relationship than most online trainings ever do.
One of the real strengths of MEC is that it is small enough, slow enough, and human enough for genuine mentoring relationships to form over time. You are not just another face in a giant online course. Most sessions have about 25 MECers.
Mark also actively encourages people to come to at least one in-person event, so the connection can deepen further in real life.
After joining, you will have the option to add 1-to-1 support if you want even more direct feedback, tailored guidance, and accountability alongside MEC.
Mark also offers bonus ad-hoc 1-to-1 sessions to all MECers to ensure everyone gets individual support every few months.
If you did CEC a while ago and want a serious way back into the work, MEC can still be a good fit.
Rather than ending CEC and dropping into nothing, MEC gives you structure, support, and momentum for the next stage.
That is often the difference between training that fades into memory and training that becomes part of how you actually work.
Along with three certifications, you’ll also get an extended ecosystem of support and growth worth more than $10,000…
Drop into focused mentoring with me to get immediate clarity on your questions and practice. I offer one or two each week to the group, and will ensure every gets a few coaching sessions over the journey.

May 2026, with an April break after CEC ends. We all need a “winter” 🙂
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.
