Refine your coaching skills,

improve your client retention, and make a REAL difference in the health & wellness industry.

Let me guess:

You sat at your computer and read all the chapters, took all the tests, and read all the case studies for your nutrition and/or personal training certifications. You passed with flying colors. You acquired all of this amazing knowledge!

And then…

You were just supposed to know how to start a business coaching people!

Your certification program probably didn’t teach you much (or anything) about that part.

It didn’t teach you how to coach.
It didn’t include any practical application.
It didn’t include any internships or feedback on your coaching.
It certainly didn’t teach you how to actually start or run a business.

That’s exactly why I created The Embodied Coaches Leadership Academy.

Having tons of knowledge is not enough

to help your clients create amazing, lifelong results. In The Embodied Coaches Leadership Academy, you’ll learn to communicate effectively with different types of learners, hone your coaching skills, become a master practitioner, increase your client retention, and feel more confident and capable of delivering life-changing results.

Of course we need to have sufficient knowledge in health & wellness in order to coach it, but we also need to be masters of our craft.

And, our craft isn’t being knowledgeable. Our craft is coaching.

Hey! I’m Lara,

and I have spent most of my life mastering the art of teaching.

From 2003 when I did my first official leadership training program, through the end of my graduate program in 2015, I spent thousands of hours learning about teaching, practicing teaching, observing teaching, and receiving feedback on my teaching. I studied different learning styles, worked with a plethora of children and adults, held a graduate assistantship position, and worked alongside many of the top professors in the field.

Aside from my current job running a successful coaching business, I’ve worked as a camp counselor, a private music teacher, a tutor, a classroom teacher, an athletics coach, a trainer, and a retail manager.

Frankly, I don’t know a single other coach in health & wellness with this much practical application.

And, it doesn’t serve anyone for me to hoard all of my knowledge and experience for myself.

I’ve combined my extensive knowledge and experience in education with my certifications in health & wellness to create a top-notch mentorship program to help you become a world-class practitioner.

Imagine yourself eight months from now:

  • You feel confident in your ability to help your clients change their lives

  • You make a significant impact in the health & wellness industry

  • You understand and implement foundational business skills

  • You attract more clients and keep them for longer

  • You balance your schedule and set boundaries

  • You are connected to a network of other master coaches

  • You run a business that is in alignment with your life and values

  • You make more money and have fun doing it

You do this work because you want to help people. Let’s make sure you’re set up for success so that you can do the big things you’re meant to do!

What You’ll Learn

Mindset

Master the most important aspect of this journey — your mindset. Dig deep into your past conditioning, uncover your mental and emotional blocks, and break through your limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome so that you can fully step into an adaptable and empowered version of you.

Psychology

Understand the psychology of learning and how to implement it with your clients. Discover different learning styles, as well as the art of positive reinforcement so that you can master the skill of behavior change with your clients.

Effective Goal-Setting

Learn how to set realistic and meaningful goals with your clients. Gone are the days of progress pictures and weigh-ins; your clients want to create a better life for themselves and their people, and those things aren’t measured by photos or the scale.

The Art of Coaching

Most health coaches call themselves that without having a true understanding of what coaching actually is. In ECLA, you will learn how to be a masterful coach by using skills like motivational interviewing, open-ended questioning, and saying the hard things.

Diet Culture

It’s time to understand how diet culture has infiltrated the health & wellness industry, and to ensure that you are not bringing it into your coaching practice. We’ll explore how diet culture and fatphobia show up in healthcare, and how to support your clients in an inclusive, health-centered way.

Business Basics

Understand business basics and design a structure that works for you! Just like we can’t prescribe our clients a one-size-fits-all approach to health, we can’t expect that someone else’s business structure will work for us.

Here’s what to expect during your 8 months in this high-level mentorship program:
