Holistic Learning Centers (HLC) is neither a church, nor a ministry, nor does HLC attest to any particular religious point of view. HLC is strictly a non-sectarian educational organization of higher learning that provides spiritual coaching courses, and educational products for spiritually awakened students. HLC offers educational programs designed for basic and advanced students, holistic practitioners, and people seeking Self-empowerment.

It is a comprehensive or “holistic” approach to Coaching that empowers clients to create the life they desire with their Coach being the conduit for that change. One of the many ways HLC teaches how to do this is using the Maieutic method of Coaching. When using the Maieutic method, the wisdom and answers come from the client herself, not from the Coach didactically imputing his or her thoughts or beliefs onto the client.

YES, HLC offers a variety of payment options, making it possible for you regardless of your financial circumstances.

A subset course contains materials and Self-Mastery Assignments from the main Spiritual Life Coaching certification course that has been sectioned off to be taken individually.

Often, a student takes a subset course because their budget or time constraints won’t allow them to enroll in the full certification course.  This allows the student to start working toward their certification piece-by-piece instead of putting their entire career path on hold until they can enroll in the full certification course.

Bonus- Students can receive tuition credit if they matriculate within 90 days to the next course. All assignments within each module can be credited toward the full certification course.

Personal Journey- Many students take the subset courses, not with the intention to become certified but for their personal journey as a way to empower and improve their lives.

First and foremost, we give students the tools to be the most impactful and effective Coach they can be, because, let’s face it, if you aren’t good at Coaching, it doesn’t matter how nice your website looks, you can’t build a successful referral-based practice if your clients aren’t seeing results. Marketing and private practice education is taught throughout the program. It is also gone over in great detail in the How to Build & Market Your Private Practice on a Shoestring Budget manual. As a bonus, HLC also provides a monthly free eBook and audiobook lesson that comes straight from the certification program that HLC graduates use to send to clients and potential clients to work with.    

HLC was established in 1993 and is the oldest life coaching and spiritual counseling certification school in North America. HLC acquired its accreditation through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners [AADP] because the International Coach’s Federation [ICF] as well as all the other current accreditation organizations did not exist.

HLC respects the ICF as a professional organization, but HLC has intentionally remained with AADP because they specialize in complementary, holistic modalities such as integrative psychiatry, massage therapy, spiritual life coaching, reflexology, Reki, etc.

Today there are several agencies that offer a life coaching accreditation: AADP, IAC, ICF, and USLCA. All of these organizations are independent privately held corporations that are not backed by anyone unifying governmental authority. Since 1993 HLC has witnessed many accreditation businesses open and close its doors, and that is why we are proud of our long-standing relationship with AADP.

The HuMethod^TM is an empowering healing modality with proprietary, clinically proven, results driven Life Coaching and Self-help training system, with decades of research and field-testing. HLC’s Life Coaches use the HuMethod™ to professionally facilitate well field-tested exercises with their Life Coaching clients, to help them quickly achieve their self-help objectives.

Essentially, the HuMethod™ training system teaches students how to use emotional, psychological, and self-nurturing exercises in order to maieutically teach the client to permanently change behaviors that no longer suit them.

The HuMethod™ title wasn’t chosen because it is our founder’s spiritual name. It was chosen because the word “Hu” refers to the subconscious, divine and quantum powers that exist within all human beings.  Mastering how to tap into these Universal Powers is why HuMethod™ Certified Coaches are able to create the permanent behavioral changes needed for their clients to manifest their self-help goals as quickly as humanly possible.

The work of people and groups such as Byron Katie or Avatar are excellent and HLC respects the work they have done.

The main difference is the level of research and testing done to create the ONLY Spiritual Life Coaching healing modality in the industry. This program compares not to other Coaching schools but to traditional healing modalities like chiropractic and follows the same level of professionalism.

No other organization invested 30 years of research, plus 15 years of clinical field testing. No other program has a spiritually-based, technically grounded healing modality that creates permanent behavioral change for anyone who performs the self-help exercises as assigned. No other program builds your confidence and skills as a Coach through practice-practice-practice along with blending your personal Self-mastery journey.

The term clinically tested means that for more than 25 years, HLC has tested hundreds of exercises on thousands of students to prove what works and what does not.

Graduates of HLC’s accredited curriculum are qualified to be Board Certified, Holistic Practitioners by AADP – the Accreditation Board of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. The AADP is a professional association, which recognizes traditional and nontraditional programs around the world.

It is a study of the whole.

HLC's program is non-sectarian and does not follow or relate to any specific religion or political group. The beautify of the program is that you can come from a religious or non-religious background and blend our program into your beliefs.

When we use the word "Spirit", it's referring to being concerning with or affecting the soul. Unlike being a Life Coach, being a Spiritual Life Coach, you go deeper with the client and help them to learn what is already inside them. 

We have defined Self-Mastery as having control over the mind to such a degree that an individual can go beyond their external circumstances to manifest their desires and think and feel better.
