WHY THIS CERTIFICATION EXISTS

Coaching isn’t just inspiration. It’s guidance with responsibility.

The ROOT & RISE Methodology was built for people who are ready to stop circling the same patterns and start building a life that actually fits — from the inside out. This certification prepares you to coach that shift with a clear framework and the confidence to lead clients through real change.

You won’t be left guessing what to say in session, how to structure a transformation, or how to hold someone through resistance. You’ll learn a method — and you’ll practice it until it becomes yours.

WHAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

  • Confidently lead clients through a structured 12-week ROOT transformation experience

  • Facilitate coaching sessions that build clarity, emotional resilience, and aligned action

  • Identify patterns, narratives, and internal blocks — without crossing into therapy

  • Use trauma-aware, ethical coaching practices that prioritize safety and agency

  • Create coaching containers (intake, agreements, goals, accountability) that protect both coach and client

  • Deliver coaching with a signature approach that feels grounded, professional, and effective

WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR

 

This certification is a fit if you are:

  • Called to coach professionally and want a structured methodology to lead with

  • A current coach who wants a clearer framework and stronger client outcomes

  • A leader, mentor, facilitator, or helping professional who wants to expand impact

  • Ready to be supervised, coached, challenged, and refined — not just “certified”

 

This program may not be a fit if you are looking for:

  • A casual course with minimal practice requirements

  • A purely self-paced experience with no feedback or supervision

  • A therapy training or clinical credential

  • A certification without real client coaching

FAQs

Is this ICF accredited?
This is a proprietary certification in the ROOT & RISE Methodology. If you pursue ICF credentials, this training may support skill development, but it is not presented as an ICF credential unless explicitly stated.

Do I need coaching experience to apply?
Not necessarily. This program is designed to train you through both methodology and coaching skill — but applicants must demonstrate readiness for supervised practice.

 

How much time will this take each week?
Expect time for training sessions, practicum coaching, documentation, and study/practice. (Exact hours depend on your schedule and client load.)

 

How do I find 8 practice clients?
You’ll receive a practicum enrollment plan and messaging templates. Some cohorts also choose to recruit together. (We can structure this clearly.)

 

What happens if a practice client drops out?
You’ll have a replacement plan and policies to ensure you can still meet certification requirements.

 

Is this therapy training?

No. ROOT & RISE coaching is not therapy, and coaches are trained to stay within ethical coaching scope and refer out when appropriate.

 

When do I receive certification?

Certification is awarded upon successful completion of all training and practicum requirements.
