Testimonials

Here are testimonials from students who attended Marlena's Introduction to Body-Centered Coaching in 2020:

I am so pleased with the Body-Centered Coaching Training I received with Marlena Field. I could not have asked for a more engaging and enriching experience, both personally and professionally. Every aspect of my experience was first class, including the training materials and sessions.

I looked forward to every session and benefited personally and professionally from each. My toolbox as a professional wellness coach has expanded tremendously with Marlena's training. I understand better than ever before the wisdom of the body and how to tap into it for myself and with my clients.

I've also learned through Marlena's training and example how to be present with my clients in ways I could not have previously imagined. Marlena has shared with me and other participants the specific tools that will allow us to be an affirming and healing presence for our clients as we support them in creating their lives going forward.

I give Marlena's training my highest recommendation. It's been such a gift!

Debra Woods, NBC-HWC, CPA Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach

I absolutely loved this class! It was exactly what I was hoping for! Marlena is a fantastic teacher who cares about this work and her students. I enjoyed working with classmates both within and outside of class!  

Abby Meyers

The Body-Centered Coaching techniques help to give voice to the subtle and sometimes not so subtle messages coming from my body. Marlena's open and non-judgmental approach in this work sets the stage to allow the body, mind and spirit to have a much needed conversation. In my experience, a calm clarity is the reward for coming into this kind of alignment with myself. Thank you for sharing this important work with the world, Marlena! 

Teresa P. LMT

This class was a win-win for me. First: I feel comfortable going deep into the body when I coach, second: I have had personal benefits with self -coaching. I now give parts of my body love and compassion and feel the healing afterwards. I am so glad I joined this class.

Ellen Corey

Although I am not yet a coach, I learned so much that has already been helpful to me in my personal life and my work as a nurse leader. I now have these tools that I can use in real-time that offer further proof of what I've known... that of the mind, body, spirit connection.

Melinda Ball, RN

I would recommend Body-Centered Coaching with Marlena Field to anyone who is interested in helping people to become whole and embodied.

Corinne Gerber

Very cohesive by way of a well held space & informing/preparing participants of the scope of the course & each call. The training framework was flexible enough to be shaped to participants evolving needs. The wisdom of the group was welcomed & honoured in a way that all seemed to benefit from. I felt the profound embodied impact of the primarily experiential delivery. What a beautiful experience! Thank you.

Shealagh King

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for to enhance my professional development, working with the body and its wisdom in a digestible way. Your tools have inspired my creativity as well as increased my confidence because I have put some very concrete tools in my toolbox after this class. Personally, I have come to peace with my next steps and will continue to develop as a Body-Centered Coach. I also want to mention how comforted I was by the organization of your class and material as well as the calm competence with which it was delivered. Thank you, Marlena.

The body-centered coaching techniques are very powerful and produce change in a short amount of time. My clients love these techniques and find them to be very memorable. To me, this series of tele-classes is a must-have for coaches. The body-centered methods are powerful and deeply transformational for the client. Thanks for sharing these powerful and effective techniques. Marlene Jones   www.stonemeadowcoaching.com

Here are student testimonials from previous years:

This class deepened my capacity to use the body as a powerful intuitive resource in coaching clients.  I was able to immediately put the skills into practice with current coaching clients, benefitting them in tapping into this already existing resource they have - their body! Hanna Cooper, MPH, PCC, CPCC, ORSCC   www.hannacooper.com

The Body-Centered tele-classes are beautifully designed to deliver maximum impact and value in a short time. The techniques have an elegant simplicity that allow clients to tap into the richness of their body’s resources, while at the same time bypass the overactive analytical mind. The result is a spaciousness and openness in the coaching that brings creativity and intuition to the fore and takes the client deeper into their experience for greater results. The class also helps coaches to further develop their own mindfulness and somatic awareness, which impacts our ability to be fully present and use our own bodies as resources in our coaching.Julia Mattern, CPCC, ACC   www.juliamatternlifecoaching.com

I am so happy that I trusted my instincts and the several coincidences that led me to Body Centered coach training. I’ve gone through three modules over the past few months and can attest to the positive changes it’s made in my coaching, and me, as a person. I feel more confident sharing what I’ve known to be true but didn’t have a coach-like way of sharing it in a structured and efficient way with my clients - these are deep, engaging and impactful processes/exercises. The classes are fun, interactive, supportive, and packed with wisdom and heart. I highly recommend this work to anyone who wants to evolve as a coach and find proven ways to integrate mindfulness and body-centered work in their coaching. Guy Reichard, MBA, ACPC, ACC  www.CoachingBreakthroughs.ca

Over the years, I have experimented with inviting clients to focus on energy and sensations as they occur in coaching sessions, and I was thrilled to hear about the Body-Centered method’s structured approach to integrating these elements into coaching. I anticipated the classes with great excitement and was not disappointed. Using the methods has deepened my own practice of mindfulness. I have also acquired language and tools that expand not only how I can be present to my clients but ways I can invite them to be more present to their own lives, challenges and successes. All three modules provided a wonderful learning experience that I would recommend to any coach wishing to add new vitality to their practice. Peg McQuarrie, M.Ed., ACPC, ACC  www.wellspringsconsulting.com

Thank you so much for the powerful and distinctive tools and for offering the workshops to teach others in using them. The body-centered coaching tools fit seamless to my ORSC toolbox, I use them instantly and my clients love them. It was great learning and I'm grateful for being able to profit from the enormous experience and knowledge shared in this course. Astrid Kerkhoven, True Connections, Netherlands  www.true-connections.nl

Get mindful and learn useful tools to empower you as a Coach. Since taking the program with Marlena, I have witnessed my clients have deeper learning and greater impact. Callie Brown  www.calliebrowncoach.com

Body-Centered Coaching has giving me the concepts to work with my client on a deeper intuitive level. All the techniques easily presented with great suggestions on how to implement them. Yoli Valdes, E-RYT, Certified Life Transformational Coach  www.yolivaldes.com

I love that these techniques are so accessible. I started using them right away, and they lead to a deeper, clearer experience for my clients of what they were truly up to. As a money coach, I’ve particularly had fun with the myriad of ways that people create fusions around money. Marlena’s techniques give me some great ways to help untangle those knots. Shell Tain  www.sensiblecoaching.com

I discovered Body-Centered Coaching by chance when I was searching for resources to compliment the mind-body work I currently do. I ordered the book and started to use the tools with clients almost immediately. I was so blown away by the simplicity and power of this body-centered work that I signed up for all three modules of the tele-training without a second thought.

The tele-training is rich with exercises, examples, explanations and live demos. The combination of the book, recorded demos, and the tele-training have allowed me to feel very confident when I use the body-centered techniques with my clients. 

My coaching style has changed entirely now that I have witnessed the power of this way of working. I am so excited to help my clients - many of whom struggle in their relationship with their body - tap in to the amazing resources available to them just by helping them to become more mindful and connect more deeply with their body, mind and spirit. Simone Goudreau, Mind-Body-Life coach  www.simonegoudreau.com

I found the Body Centered Coaching classes to provide some powerful strategies and exercises to assist clients in becoming more in touch with their inner knowing in order to make better decisions and move toward more authentic lives. Kathy Richins   www.findstrengthinaction.com

I can't recommend the Body-Centered classes highly enough. I have been able to use what I learn in her classes right away in my coaching practice with professionals and executives and they love it. My clients so often get stuck going round and round intellectually and the body-centered coaching approach is a brilliant addition for helping them get out of over thinking mode so they can connect with their true self and own wisdom. Wendy Pentland PhD PCC  www.wendypentland.com

My work as a coach focuses primarily on work and career. Marlena's course has given me many new ideas and suggestions that will help my clients unlock their limiting beliefs and find work, or ways of working, that play to their strengths and energize them. Marlena's experience is evident in her presentation style, examples and demonstrations – the course is well structured and the materials are well coordinated and useful! Ingrid Bergmann  www.berlineaton.com

This class deepened my capacity to use the body as a powerful intuitive resource in coaching clients.  I was able to immediately put the skills into practice with current coaching clients, benefitting them in tapping into this already existing resource they have - their body! Hanna Cooper, MPH, PCC, CPCC, ORSCC  www.hannacooper.com

I do 10 minute laser coaching sessions for wellness coaching. I was able to use the Awareness Technique in this short time frame with ease! I was surprised and pleased when I asked my client to go stand some place in her house that "felt better" and she wound up standing in front of her refrigerator! She said she knew she ate for comfort, but did not realize the full extent of it!!! Now she is aware of it.

No judgment, just letting the body speak....and look at what she learned by listening to her body!! Kathy Fong, JD, CPCC, PCC  www.kathyfong.com

I have been in search of a differentiating style as a coach. I am a Yoga instructor as well as a coach, and I want to be able to help clients find a mind-body connection. Body-Centered Coaching delivered the method. The plan is simplicity, uncluttered and delivers results quickly. It is the KEY I have been looking for, I like being able to offer a method to help my clients find their way to a better place using their own body wisdom. Sandy Warren  www.WellnesswithAttitude.com

The Body-Centered Coaching classes over the telephone have been invaluable to me on many fronts. I live in a remote area where professional development is almost nonexistent yet I've been able to participate in a high standard of learning without leaving my home. On a personal level I've gained some life changing insights; and on a professional level, I have gained more confidence in myself knowing I have some very significant tools that I can use to help others. Jennifer Anne Sherrell  www.integratedcounsellingandkinesiology.com

The skills demonstrated in “Beyond Limits” were both easy to learn and practical. As a result of putting theses methods to use I personally experienced positive results during the course and was immediately able to use them effectively with my clients. I highly recommend her as a teacher and her methods as a tool. Tracy McMicking, Certified Wellness Life Coach  www.tracymcmicking.com

We were generously offered a plethora of materials in a variety of media as part of the highly focused body-centered coaching. You will come away with specific and easily applicable tools to complement your coaching. Kerry Woodcock  www.novalda.com

The Body-Centered Coaching Course was amazing. The techniques and tools add an enormous depth to the traditional coaching methodologies I have been learning in other programs. I can see using some of the exercises as part of initial client discovery sessions to greatly enhance the initial process of truly understanding the client and what their real desires and roadblocks are.  

Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and insights and coaching the coaches to greater self-awareness! Virginia Day  VirginiaED@shaw.ca
