Emotional Fitness Coach Training

The Emotional Fitness Institute now offers several opportunities for training across Canada. The next classes begin in September. The course provides 120 hours of Continuing Education Units from CCPA as well as 122 hours of Continuing Coach Education Units from the International Coach Federation. Emotional Fitness takes counselling to another level, enabling counsellor and client to listen and gain insights for action at truly deep levels.

Here’s what one experienced counsellor said after a recent course: “I will never forget all the learnings, the breakthroughs and the experience. I will surely recommend this course to my network”.

Whether you are relatively new to counselling or have been a counsellor for several years and want to expand the possibilities, this training will give you the tools to draw out the inner wisdom in your clients in ways that will astound you and them.

The New Quantum Interweave©: Taking Therapy to the Next Level

Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share with you that my new book on mind-body-spirit healing has been published.  The 6 Quantum Secrets to an Amazing Life has been endorsed by Dr. Christiane Northrup and I am excited about the good that I hope it will do.
 
Using core ideas that developed as I was researching and writing the book, I have developed a new 12 credit hour Quantum Interweave workshop for clinicians (both EMDR and non-EMDR therapists.)  I have been teaching the workshop in various parts of the world this year, and wanted to make you aware that I will teach it in Toronto on Friday November 5, 2010,  followed by a shorter optional consultation day on Saturday the 16th.  I’d love to have you there!
 
Click here for a link to the workshop, on my website.  Early registration deadline is coming up, and space is limited.  The CCPA is offering 12 credit hours for the two days, and non-CCPA members may apply for transcripts of the CEUS. 

Also, if your contact info has changed, please forward me an email if you would like to be updated in the Directory of therapists on my website. (I expect people will be using the Directory in greater numbers after the release of the book, and I would like you to benefit.)

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you feel might be interested.  Click here to view workshop brochure.

Warm regards to you,
