Becoming a life coach

Following the birth of my daughter Olivia in 2015 and the journey of figuring out and supporting her allergy diagnosis, and then my husbands cardiac arrest and the two months he spent in hospital in 2016…I was burnt out, exhausted and with a deep knowing that I didn’t want to go back to the work I had been doing pre-baby in the same way.

When I weaved the different threads of my passions and experience and worked with my own coach around purpose and bringing more joy into my life, I felt a calling to be a coach myself. With an interest in supporting my own health and families health and to explore the world of coaching, I signed up in 2017 to train to be a health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.

However at the end of that time, I still felt like there was something missing, and that my heart was calling me to work both with women’s bodies and their spirit, and I wanted to deepen my tools in life coaching.

Beautiful You Coaching Academy

Somehow I discovered the world of the Beautiful You Coaching Academy. Immediately I felt an alignment with their vision to support heart centred people to become life coaches with love, creativity, passion and community. The founder and lead trainer of the Beautiful You Life Coaching Academy Julie Parker oozes these values herself, as does her amazing team of trainers (and I believe the trainer team is getting even stronger every year!).

The Beautiful You Life Coaching Course isn’t your run of the mill coaching course. It is for people who want to make a difference, see others grow and shine, work with people they love and feel connected to, and build a business and life that they love. I feel that is was a real foundation for me to create and build my business, and work with the amazing women I get to dance, play and create magic with in Wise, Wild & Whole.

The course covers both the skills and tools you need to be an amazing coach, whilst also the steps to take to build a coaching business. It brings together the practical (you will coach and be coached during the course), and the theory, with the trainers and recorded interviews bringing real world experience and insight across figuring out who you want to work with, running events, speaking, marketing and so much more. It also incorporates diversity and inclusion work, and awareness of many of the traps and failings of the coaching industry (hint – there is no quick, easy 5 step method to create a coaching business and any course that says there is you should run away from!).

I loved that while the community is world-wide, it is grounded in the Southern Hemisphere with the founder Julie Parker and most of the trainers living in Australia. This means that the course provides timings for live calls which can work for those of us in New Zealand and Australia, not just those in the Northern Hemisphere. It also meant that there is a strong community based over this side of the world, which you can connect to in person at the Beautiful You Coaching Academy Inspiration Days and through the alumni networks. This community and the local connections I have made, have been so supportive on my journey, and really have made a massive difference in building the confidence to really step into the work I am passionate about.
