"As a physician, I see people all of the time who need this type of work, but do not know where to get it. This program allows health professionals of all types gain knowledge of how to approach true wellness. In addition, the experience of going through the coaching itself is crucial to understanding what you are providing to your clients. It also magnifies your own strengths and challenges so that you can be the best provider of wellness for your clients. It is truly a blessing that I was able to experience this! It is already adding so much value to my practice and career as well as my own personal life. Thank you Jim and Bobbie!!!!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the training program. It's a very beneficial program for a wide range of lay people and professionals. Even though I have been involved in self-care and healing for many years now, I was able to explore new layers. The 12 dimensions of wellness are organized and represented eloquently. I look forward to this new tool facilitating my client's wellness as well as my continued exploration of wellness."

"I found the training to be an exceptional experience both academically and personally. The teachers, readings, class participation and coaching sessions not only provided information and skills training, but more importantly, supported integration of the material leading to attitudinal, perceptual and personal transformation. This class not only assists the coach in the coaching process but l also helps the participant in their own personal wellness journey."

"The Wellness Inventory Certification Training is phenomenal. It is a great course for every health care provider, because it allows for deep exploration into your own aspects of wellness, so that you have more to offer clients. The course is a terrific organizational framework for wellness. As a nurse and traditional naturopathic student, I thought I knew a lot about wellness coming into the course. I quickly realized I had a lot to learn! I am leaving the course a transformed person!"

"This is the real McCoy of wellness. The authentic definition of wellness: in its practice and life skills and respect for life, the individual, and the whole. That which we all know, and have forgotten, and now gently reminded of, with care and respect."

Carole, South Carolina

"This Wellness Coaching certification course has rearranged my inner framework for understanding and integrating knowledge related to the meaning of real health and well-being. As an international educator, transformational life coach and yoga teacher for children, I was given great tools for creating my own wellness programs to suit my clients' needs, for facilitating personal and professional empowerment using an inside-out approach, and for enhancing my own awareness of growth in all areas of life. I highly recommend this training to everyone interested in going further with wellness coaching or simply wishing to enhance their whole life experience with this powerful knowledge."

Hazel Martinez, RN

"Did you happen to see the movie 'As Good as it Gets' with Jack Nicholson? I remember a quote from the film when Nicholson's character says to the woman he'd fallen in love with 'You make me want to be a better man'. Something similar rings in my ears this evening, in the sense that both of you have spirits that inspire me to grow into something bigger, some larger aspect of myself. Thank you both for that! This is a deeply important class and I am really thankful."

"I had a wonderful time learning, practicing and sharing during my recent wellness class. Not only the learning came from two awesome instructors, a great curriculum and structure but also from the well-educated and knowledgeable classmates; the telephone class instruction was set up in a nurturing and safe environment. All in all I got up to date information on overall wellness with easy to implement action steps that have made a great difference in my life. The wellness inventory web site tools are like no other I've seen for coaches and clients alike."

"While I expected to learn about wellness from a professional standpoint, I was blown away by the personal gains I made in my understanding and appreciation for how the 12 dimensions of wellness play out in my own life. The learning that I did in this class strongly supported my ability to make a number of significant changes in how I address my sense of wellness. I know that the enthusiasm that I feel about my new found sense of wellness will be easily communicated to future coaching clients."

"The Wellness Inventory Certification Course teaches you the nuts and bolts of how to use the Wellness Inventory to enhance your skills in working in the wellness field. Through experiential work with buddies, lots of readings and articles, written by the instructors, demonstrations and class discussions, participants will learn about their own level of satisfaction with wellness in their lives and have the opportunity to work on goals and experience change in their life by working with the wellness inventory, much like the people that they would use it with. Bobbie and Jim are excellent teachers, thorough, thoughtful, insightful, generous, kind and loving-perfect ingredients for two people to take us through the wellness inventory, sharing their life experiences as relevant, and most of all sharing their genuine appreciation and love of the learning and growing process. I would recommend this course highly to anyone who wants to learn about wellness, both didactically and experientially."

"If I had had an inkling of how rich and valuable this training was going to be I would have enrolled in the course when I became licensed earlier this year. The Wellness Inventory is a powerful set of tools that can best be fully realized when you begin to walk the wheel with an informed, and caring coach. Bobbie Burdett is that coach and more. As an instructor, and as a coach, she comes to the training and her students with her whole self. She takes the Wellness Inventory and guides you through it, showing you what it can do, and encouraging you to do even more. This experience has touched me personally and professionally in ways that I will always be deeply grateful for, and in ways I can not put into words. I feel blessed to be able to take it out into the world and make a difference."

"This is an excellent overview course for coaches and wellness professionals who are using, or planning to use, the Wellness Inventory for their clients. It is designed to allow these professionals to have a personal experience with the tool so that they can "walk the talk" and carry their experience into their relationships with clients. The course provides excellent information, resources and opportunities to network with other professionals in the field of wellness. As a wellness consultant who has been working with the tool for over two years in my practice, I found the course refreshing and I came away with many new ideas about how to increase the effectiveness of its use. I highly recommend this course to others practicing in the field of wellness promotion."

"The Certification Training was a life-enhancing experience personally and professionally. The resulting benefits of looking at my life with fresh eyes has been multidimensional – improving my wellness on emotional, physical, social and mental levels that I could have never imagined possible within a short period of time. The inventory was the catalyst in leading me to an inner place of resources, knowledge, wisdom and strength, I intuitively knew I possessed, but had never consciously considered as the key to my wellbeing. On a professional level I have a tool and enormous variety of resources to support my professional development and coaching. THANK YOU!"

"I was not prepared for the depth of self-knowledge and growth that resulted from doing this training. The Wellness Inventory is a powerful tool that you can dive in at any level and it was surprising to see how effective it is IF you really do the work with the right intention and true desire to know yourself more deeply. You truly get what you put in. It has been and will continue to be a journey of self-discovery for me to use this tool. Bobbie and Jim are masters at teaching this class. I can feel their sincerity and how much they have learned from "living" what they teach. It's a great experience to go through the training with like-minded classmates who are supportive and engaged. They enrich my learning. It has been a valuable experience for me."

"I’m very excited about putting to use everything I have learned in the Wellness Inventory program. I realized when I was looking back through the material just how much depth there is. I have also been taking another wellness coaching program. It doesn't come close to matching the depth of the material you offer."
