Pillar 2 of 3 · Arukah Holistic Healer Certification

Holistic Life Coaching

Learn to guide people through the emotional, relational and spiritual sides of healing, so the changes they make actually last.

What is the Holistic Life Coaching pillar?

Holistic Life Coaching is the coaching pillar of the Arukah Holistic Healer Certification. You learn coaching fundamentals, how stress, trauma and emotions affect the body, the power of the mind in healing, the legal guidelines for holistic healers, and the five levels of the soul as a framework for caring for the whole person.

The vitamins weren’t enough

When I went through a severe thyroid crisis, I already knew a lot about nutrition and herbs. They helped, but the healing didn’t hold until I faced the worry, and later the anger, I had been carrying. Marriage coaching and life coaching changed that.

Proverbs says a joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. A healer who only works on the body will watch people get better and then slip back. This pillar teaches you to help people change their lives, with wisdom, compassion and structure.

Questions people ask

Is holistic life coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is educational and supportive. It does not replace care from a licensed mental health professional, and you learn when to refer someone who needs more help.

Do I have to share your beliefs?

No. Arukah is a holistic healing school, not a church. The five levels of the soul come from ancient Hebrew wisdom, and students from many backgrounds use them.

Can I take this pillar on its own?

Yes. Many coaches, nurses and wellness practitioners start here. You can add the other pillars later.

How long does this pillar take?

At about 5 to 7 hours a week, most students finish this pillar in about 2 months. It is self-paced.

What do I receive when I finish?

A certificate as a Certified Holistic Life Coach. Students who complete all three pillars receive a dual certification as a Naturopathic Herbalist and Holistic Coach.

What does it cost?

Tuition and payment options are shared with the waitlist and at our live events. Enrolling in all three pillars together costs less than taking them one at a time. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first when enrollment opens.

Can I get a refund?

Tuition is non-refundable. The one exception is the Finish and Flourish Guarantee on the Holisticpreneur Program. If you enroll in the full certification, the guarantee applies to the Holisticpreneur portion at its discounted bundle price.
