Knowing how to work with a client’s neurochemical state can drastically increase your effectiveness. Clients will better remember and be able to apply your recommendations and utilize your expertise when they are functioning from the part of their brain that receives information, stores information, and applies information. If you work with other people, and want your work to work better for your people – NeuroEmotional Coach Training is for you.

This training can be done a la carte, or as part of our comprehensive certification.

NeuroEmotional Coaching is different from therapy in that…

Though we also practice deep listening, and emotional exploration, we never offer advice as to what a client should do with their life. Instead we help clients regularly get into a brain state where they know what they should do with their life.

NeuroEmotional Coaching is different from life-coaching in that…

Though we will look into the future with clients and help them act according to their life vision, we will never do that instead of, or before, helping clients process the feelings that stand in the way of that vision.

Our modality offers a distinct approach by bridging the gap between traditional therapy and life coaching, integrating neuroscience, emotional coprocessing, and nervous system reprogramming to support deep, sustainable change.

Here’s what makes NeuroEmotional Coaching different and more successful than other approaches:

1. Focus on Emotional Processing and Brain Rewiring
   Our modality is designed to help clients identify and shift deep-rooted emotional patterns at a neurological level. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses primarly on processing past trauma, NeuroEmotional Coaching employs methods like emotional exploration and co-processing, nervous system titration and regulation, as well as practical neuroplasticity exercises to rewire the brain's responses. The goal is to create new synaptic pathways that support healthier emotional outcomes.

2. Integrative Approach to the Nervous System
   Especially relevant for clients who struggle with chronic overwhelm, anxiety, or depression – NeuroEmotional Coaching goes beyond the cognitive focus of life coaching by acknowledging and working directly with the body's nervous system responses. Among other approaches, techniques involve somatic work, which helps clients recognize and recalibrate their nervous system responses to activating stimuli, fostering greater resilience and emotional stability in real time.

3. Tools for Immediate, Practical Application
   NeuroEmotional Coaching equips clients with tools designed for quick integration into daily life. While therapy can sometimes remain abstract and life coaching can be overly goal-centric, our modality teaches actionable strategies, allowing clients to work with and regulate their emotions on the go. This includes tools that work with Survival, Emotional, and Executive Brain states, helping clients to consciously respond rather than primally react.

4. Goal-Oriented, Yet Healing-Focused
   While NeuroEmotional Coaching, like life coaching, is forward-driven and goal-oriented, it doesn't overlook the healing and integrative aspects often emphasized in therapy. Our modality supports clients to address and mend emotional wounds that block them from reaching their goals, balancing self-awareness, personal growth, and actionable outcomes.

5. Client Agency and Self-Regulation
   NeuroEmotional Coaching emphasizes client agency by training them in techniques that promote their own emotional regulation and adaptive interdependence, blending the reflective nature of therapy with the proactive structure of coaching. This empowers clients to not just process emotions in healthy ways, but to also actively reshape how they experience and manage them. Our modality is also designed to support clients to consciously and consistently activate their own Executive Brain state, so they are clear, focused, and able to act in full alignment with who they authentically are.

This modality is well-suited for high achievers who need effective, scalable strategies to address both personal and professional challenges, making it a powerful blend of healing, growth, and performance. When our clients want to be their best self doing their best work, there's no better set of tools than NeuroEmotional Coaching.

After completing NeuroEmotional Coach Training, students have a variety of pathways they can pursue, depending on their personal goals and professional interests. The combination of emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and coaching skills, opens doors across multiple industries and sectors. Here are several potential directions you can take:

1. Ask for a Raise for your Current Position

Emotional Intelligence and neuroemotional skills often result in improved leadership, better team dynamics, enhanced conflict resolution, and increased productivity. When you're able to clearly show how this training has enhanced your value to the company, a 20% raise is reasonable

2. Raise the Rates for your Current Offerings and Services

With NeuroEmotional methods included in your practice your clients will likely experience deeper emotional shifts, cognitive rewiring, and quicker, more profound results. Clients appreciate and often expect their coach to continue learning and growing. You can justify charging more for your services because you're bringing cutting-edge, science-backed techniques to your coaching practice.

Typical coaching rate increases after significant training or certification can range from 10-30%. For example:

• If you're currently charging $100 per session, you could raise your rate to $110–$130.

• If you're charging a package rate of $1,500, increasing to $1,950 may feel appropriate after factoring in the added value of NeuroEmotional Coaching.

3. Secure a Position in a Support Field

NeuroEmotional Coach Training can lead to a variety of job opportunities, particularly in roles that require strong interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, leadership, and emotional regulation. Here are some examples:

Leadership and Management Roles, Human Resources (HR), Customer Service and Client Relations, Education and Teaching, Sales and Marketing, Healthcare

4. Expand an Existing Coaching Practice

If students are already working as coaches in another modality (life coaching, executive coaching, health coaching, etc), NeuroEmotional Coaching can be an additional tool to:

• Enhance client outcomes by integrating emotional regulation, emotional processing, trauma-informed approaches, and client empowerment.

• Address deeper brain wiring that may be preventing change, which other coaching methods do not tackle directly.

• Attract a broader client base, especially those seeking help with emotional overwhelm, stress, grief, or history of trauma.

5. Start a Private Coaching Practice

Graduates can launch their own coaching business, offering NeuroEmotional Coaching services to clients seeking help with emotional regulation, stress management, the effects of trauma, or personal growth. They can specialize in:

• Personal coaching: Supporting individuals in emotional healing, building emotional resilience, and achieving personal goals.

• Career coaching: Helping professionals improve emotional regulation at work, navigate career transitions, and build leadership skills.

• Relationship coaching: Assisting individuals or couples in developing emotional intelligence in relationships, enhancing communication, and resolving conflict.

6. Work in Organizational Development or Corporate Coaching

Many organizations are increasingly focusing on emotional intelligence, leadership development, and mental health. NeuroEmotional Coaching skills can be applied in:

• Executive coaching: Working with leaders and managers to enhance their emotional intelligence, communication skills, and leadership effectiveness.

• Team building and conflict resolution: Offering coaching or consultation to improve team dynamics, resolve conflicts, and foster a culture of emotional awareness.

• Stress management and employee wellness: Providing services to help employees manage stress, avoid burnout, and maintain emotional well-being.

7. Combine NeuroEmotional Coaching with Therapy or Counseling

For students who are also licensed therapists, counselors, or social workers, NeuroEmotional Coaching provides additional tools to support clients. They can:

• Integrate neuroemotional coaching techniques and concepts with therapeutic approaches to guide clients through emotional and cognitive rewiring.

• Offer trauma-informed coaching to help clients process past distress in a safe and supportive way.

• Incorporate brain-based coaching methods to enhance therapy outcomes.

8. Collaborate with Health and Wellness Professionals

NeuroEmotional Coaching can complement other wellness practices, and graduates may collaborate with professionals such as:

• Nutritionists and personal trainers: Supporting clients with emotional blocks related to their health goals.

• Yoga instructors or bodyworkers: Integrating emotional regulation into mind-body practices, helping clients release stored emotional tension through movement or breathwork.

• Holistic health practitioners: Working with clients on the emotional and mental aspects of their healing journey.

9. Offer Trauma-Informed Coaching for Special Populations

With their neuroemotional approach, graduates can work with specific populations that may be dealing with significant emotional or trauma-related challenges, including:

• Veterans: Assisting with emotional regulation, emotional processing, and symptoms of PTSD.

• Survivors of domestic abuse or violence: Offering safe spaces to heal emotional wounds and rebuild capacity and resilience.

• First responders: Helping police, firefighters, and healthcare professionals manage emotional stress and manage symptoms of trauma.

10. Continue into Advanced Certification

For students looking to deepen their expertise, after this training, they may pursue the NeuroEmotional Coach Certification path.

• Certification Graduates may Enhance Emotional Intelligence Programs for Schools or Nonprofits

  • Graduates passionate about education or community work can work as a consultant on programs to help:

    • Students and educators: Foster emotional regulation, improve focus, and reduce anxiety in educational settings.

    • Nonprofit organizations: Provide emotional wellness programs for underserved populations, addressing issues like trauma recovery, emotional health, or stress management.

• Certification Graduates May Write, Teach, or Create Content

  This could include:

  • Creating online courses: Sharing NeuroEmotional Coaching techniques, emotional intelligence insights, or neuroscience-based coaching strategies with a wider audience.

  • Developing educational content: Producing blog posts, articles, videos, or podcasts on the topics we teach.

NeuroEmotional Coach Training provides a versatile toolkit that can be applied in numerous fields, from one-on-one coaching to corporate leadership development, trauma work, or wellness practices. The flexibility of the skill set allows graduates to tailor their career path to their passions, whether that’s personal development, emotional healing, or creating systemic change.

In NeuroEmotional Coaching, the word “client” applies to all the people with whom we interact and whom you choose to support.

Your clients may include your:

• Employees

• Team Members

• Organizations

• Systems

• Clientele

• Customers

• Students

• Spouses

• Children

• Family Members

• Community Members

• Neighbors

• Strangers

If the person you support has a body, a nervous system, and a brain –
then this training applies to your relationship and work with them!

Students in NeuroEmotional Coach Training will develop a broad range of skills that combine emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and coaching techniques. The skills they gain will enable them to help others manage emotional states, resolve the effects of trauma, and create more sustainable emotional and cognitive patterns.

Here’s a breakdown of the key skills you can expect to develop:

Emotional Regulation & Self-Awareness

Students will learn to manage their own emotional responses and teach others to do the same. This involves developing the ability to:

• Recognize and name emotions in real time.

• Regulate heightened emotional states to move through emotional overwhelm.

• Maintain emotional equilibrium, even in challenging situations.

Advanced Listening & Communication

Effective coaches excel at deep, empathetic listening and clear communication. NeuroEmotional Coach Training emphasizes:

• Active listening and reading brain state cues.

• Reflective communication, summarizing and empathizing with what clients have expressed.

• Asking powerful, transformative questions that guide clients toward deeper insights.

Nervous System Awareness & Regulation

Understanding the nervous system and its role in activation is a central skill. This includes:

• Identifying Survival Brain States (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Appease) in clients and yourself.

• Teaching techniques to regulate the nervous system to move out of a Survival Brain State, and through the Emotional Brain State, to a relaxed, lit-up Executive Brain State.

• Helping clients build resilience, capacity, and a stronger window of tolerance for a wide range of uncomfortable feelings.

Trauma-Informed Coaching Techniques

Students will learn how to work with clients who may have experienced trauma, without reactivating the trauma, focusing on:

• Recognizing trauma responses and emotional activation in clients.

• Using coaching techniques that promote safety and trust.

• Working with embodied and other practices in a client-specific manner.

Emotional Pattern Recognition & Rewiring

NeuroEmotional Coaching focuses on helping clients recognize and shift unhelpful emotional and cognitive patterns. Skills include:

• Identifying General Dynamics, Core Emotion sets, and Core Needs.

• Guiding clients to work with the personal narratives, inherited concepts, and personal history that is informing their emotional experiences.

• Using neuroplasticity principles to help clients rewire their brains for emotional responses that serve them better.

Problem-Solving & Executive Functioning Enhancement

Students will learn how to help clients access their higher-level cognitive functions after successfully moving through emotionally charged moments, by:

• Shifting clients from emotional reactivity (survival brain) to problem-solving and creativity (executive brain).

• Helping clients build mental flexibility and adaptive thinking.

• Enhancing decision-making skills through emotional self-regulation techniques.

Boundary Setting & Emotional Sovereignty

Coaches will be skilled in helping clients establish and maintain healthy boundaries, which are essential for Emotional Sovereignty:

• Teaching clients how to build and communicate boundaries in personal and professional relationships.

• Modeling for clients how to work with neurochemistry, and helping clients get back to a state of clarity and empowerment, which they can act on to design their path forward and collaborate with others.

• Supporting clients in building self-awareness and developing a strong sense of independence and empowered self-knowing.

Coaching Ethics & Client-Centered Approach

A key part of the training will focus on ethical coaching practices, including:

• Maintaining client confidentiality and respecting boundaries.

• Adopting a non-directive, client-centered approach, empowering clients to find their own solutions.

• Practicing self-care as a coach to prevent burnout and ensure long-term effectiveness.

Applied Neuroscience in Coaching

Students will gain an understanding of how the brain’s structure and function impact emotions and behaviors. They will learn to:

• Explain key neuroscience concepts in accessible language for clients.

• Use this knowledge to guide coaching techniques that leverage neuroplasticity.

• Apply brain-based techniques for habit formation, emotional regulation, and behavior change.

Empathy & Compassion-Based Approaches

Students will deepen their capacity for empathy and compassionate coaching. This involves:

• Cultivating non-judgmental, open-hearted support for clients' emotional journeys.

• Helping clients to cultivate self-compassion and reduce self-criticism.

• Building relationships rooted in trust, mutual respect, and emotional safety.

Goal Setting & Behavioral Change Techniques

Coaches will help clients fully utilize and leverage their Executive State. This includes:

• Creating achievable, emotionally-aligned goals.

• Supporting clients in breaking down goals into manageable steps.

• Using accountability structures to help clients stay on track while also maintaining emotional health.

These skills can be applied across multiple contexts, from one-on-one coaching to group facilitation, leadership development, and personal growth work. For those trained in NeuroEmotional Coaching, these tools create a powerful framework for helping individuals transform emotional patterns and lead more fulfilling lives.

NeuroEmotional Coach Training will:

• Show you how the neuro-emotional matrix functions, how to neurochemically help the human nervous system and brain feel better, and why and how the emotional support strategies we’ll teach you work for regulation, for comprehensive processing, and for deep healing.

• Train you to use the NeuroEmotional Coaching modality with all the “clients” in your life — your family members, your partner, your colleagues, and your actual clientele.

• Guide you to be with your clients in a way that drastically changes their lives without burning out your own.

As a student, you will:

• Grasp how emotions work in the brain, nervous system, and body and what that means for your client’s life – including their finances, relationships, health, and so much more.

• Find out how to work with emotions so that they don't build-up, blow up, make our clients sick, or make them do things they wish they hadn't.

• Learn how to support the development of a strong safety foundation within oneself that is unshakeable even when things are really rough.

• Understand how to improve emotional habits in a way that reprograms the brain – making your clients more capable, more resourceful, and more resilient in the face of future challenges.

• Help your people make sense of all the awful, weird, uncomfortable happenings that occur in life, and know how to manage and overcome those kinds of happenings with personal integrity.

• Support your clients to gently re-parent themselves, and dramatically heal the effects of their trauma.

As founders of the Center for Emotional Education, we’ve spent the last seventeen years supporting thousands of students and hundreds of one-to-one clients with our transformative concepts and unique modality. We’ve also been cultivating and refining our signature system of trauma-informed and science-based support through our experience and relationships with our clients – watching, listening, and learning from what works. What we’ve created through that collaboration, standing on the shoulders of the giants before us, and over the course of thousands of hours of development and innovation is an incomparable way of working with clients (of any age and in any venue) to invite optimal neural functioning, optimal healing, and optimal growth.

Even though we taught numerous, popular online courses and workshops, for many years our work was focused on the individual. We were supporting each of our clients to experience a lot less anxiety, stress, depression, and disconnection, and instead have lives of ease, intimacy, and fulfillment, but our people wanted more.

After experiencing what was possible for them and seeing how this work so utterly changed their lives, our clients began asking how they could “learn to do what you do”? They wanted to bring this way of supporting others into their work, into their homes, into their parenting and partnerships, into all the important relationships of their lives. 

So many of our beloved clients just couldn’t believe they hadn’t learned about how emotion works in early childhood, or in school, or even in therapy. They felt such deep regret that they hadn’t known sooner how to get out of survival mode and actually enjoy living. And over and over they kept expressing such deep longing for everyone to receive this life-enhancing knowledge and to be able to work these powerful neuro-emotional tools for the betterment of their lives, and families, and communities.

We used our two decades of research, our extensive training, and fifteen years of one-to-one client experience to develop a curriculum that teaches others how to do what we do. Our graduates use this training to support, nurture, and inspire the important people in their lives at a level they didn’t even know was possible before coming to work with us. Together, our people and their people are using these tools, skills, and concepts to improve emotional intelligence and self-mastery, uplevel existing systems and cultures, and cultivate neuro-psychological health at a global scale. (We call this the Emotional Revolution…)

Each year we select the most eager, earnest, and qualified students to receive the NeuroEmotional Coach Training. We have developed an incredibly authentic, supportive, emotionally-safe, and dynamic community, and it just keeps getting better. We’d love to welcome you under our empathetic and highly-skilled wings, and train you to help yourself and your people soar.

In this program, we layer your training in the modality through audio and visual presentations, experiential exercises, and direct modeling via mini-coaching sessions with volunteers – so no matter how you learn, we’ve got you covered.

NeuroEmotional Coach Training Program —
January 22 thru June 18 2025

*All recordings, outlines, templates, and other program materials are kept in a class hub that students can access as often and as long as they like, in perpetuity. If we ever decide to remove it for any reason, we will give students ample notice to be able to download any wanted materials before we remove them.

**There is a special section of class in which we model NeuroEmotional Co-Processing with a volunteer from class. This mini-coaching piece is essential for getting the best grasp on the modality. But to preserve the emotional safety of the group and for the volunteer, we do not record this section of class. If you’re unable to attend the rest of class on any given day, we recommend you at least jump in for the unrecorded part at the beginning.

The cost of NeuroEmotional Coach Training is just $6,000 US.

If you wanted to hire us for this much of our time and this much of our know-how outright, and based on our hourly rate (currently $225) you’d be starting negotiations at around $10,000 for just one of us.

But because we offer this as a group program, and as a structured course, we’re able to save you at least $5000.

And, unlike hiring us for our amazing 1:1 work, students in the NeuroEmotional Coach Training program also get both of us, for 2 hours of groundbreaking training and stellar coaching in each session, a recording of each impactful and revelatory call, and a community of like-minded and equally emotionally educated cohorts with whom to geek out on all things neuroemotional – in perpetuity! (And let me tell you – NeuroEmotional Coaches make for some seriously good community.)

So you get to keep the class materials (including recordings), the community you’ll share, and the skills you’ll learn from us for the rest of your life. Not a bad return on your $6,ooo investment, if we do say so ourselves…

We highly recommend that you treat yourself to the Plus package for this class.

For $6,500, in addition to all of the above, this comprehensive package also includes a complete outline for each session (our actual class notes!), and 5 individual coaching calls (with the certified coach of your choice) during the 5-month program. This is for those who really want to get this learning in their heart and bones.

Plus spots are limited, so if this speaks to you, we encourage you to go for it.

This training occurs once per year, don’t miss out on your chance to join the Emotional Revolution!
