The Wellness Inventory is an online assessment and life-balancing tool that focuses on the whole person in 12 key dimensions of wellness. By participating in the training you will gain proficiency in working with clients with the 12 part Wellness Wheel (representing the Wellness Energy System).
You will also experience ongoing exploration of the Wheel as a dynamic hologram of interdependent elements, as well as its use as an organizing principle for individual and institutional wellness programs.
The process of working with the Wellness Wheel helps to develop greater coherence in your personal life and teaches you how to use the Holographic Change Process in your coaching to facilitate greater coherence in your clients' lives.
We will also focus on increasing your knowledge and proficiency utilizing the key elements of the Wellness Inventory on both the client (user) side and administrative side of the program.
On the client side, you will gain greater insight into the key elements of the program:
- the assessment questions,
- the Wellness and Satisfaction Scores,
- Personal Wellness Plan,
- My Wellness Journal,
- Self-Study Center,
- the 12 Resource Centers, and

We focus on the process of creating wellness action plans in the context of the Six Stages of Change, which leads to a much higher rate of success because it is oriented toward the areas that are the most meaningful to the client and that they are most motivated to change. You will learn basic coaching skills or how to strategically use your existing coaching skills to maximize the effectiveness of the Wellness Inventory in helping your clients achieve their goals.
On the administrative/coaching side, you will be trained to use a suite of online reporting, coaching, and communication tools designed to support implementation of the Wellness Inventory within individual, group and organizational settings for optimal results.
From a business/marketing perspective, you will learn strategies for using the Wellness Inventory to:
- Create a wellness dimension in your practice,
- Quickly determine client's "change readiness" in each dimension of wellness,
- Create the context for ongoing wellness coaching,
- Build your practice and increase client retention,
- Create new profit centers, and
- Work with individuals, groups and organizations
You will also learn strategies for using the Wellness Inventory as an organizing principle for wellness programs that can be implemented in various markets - corporate wellness, wellness centers and clinics, hospitals, spas, as well as coaching and wellness practitioner practices. This will include learning how to integrate monthly workshops on the 12 dimensions of wellness into an institutional program (corporate, healthcare, spa) to provide education and accountability, to support the coaching process, and to foster a positive outcome for participants.
The course will provide additional interaction throughout the 14 weeks via an online discussion board.

"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."

"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."

"In addition to learning about the Wellness Inventory, I learned about me. The class provided an opportunity to reach higher without a ladder, to reach inward without a scapel, to dig deeper without getting dirty. Now, I can take a spin on the wheel without falling off. I am prepared to teach others to do so as well."
