Course Description
The Transformative Life Coaches and Healing Leaders (T.Li.C.H.L.) Certification prepares Journeyers to become ethical, healing-centered coaches, facilitators, and transformational leaders. Grounded in a Healing Justice-centered, Trauma-informed philosophy, the course recognizes that healing is more than recovering from adversity; it is the lifelong practice of remembering our wholeness, reclaiming our humanity, and becoming the healing presence we once needed.
Rather than viewing coaching as a way to fix people, TLiCHL teaches Journeyers how to create Brave Spaces where individuals, families, organizations, and communities can discover their own wisdom, agency, and capacity for transformation.
Throughout this immersive experience, Journeyers travel the Yellow Brick Road through the mythical Land of WizOz, where every chamber, character, and metaphor reflects an aspect of our own healing journey. The curriculum is organized around the HEAL-IDS Framework:
• Healing
• Energy
• Affirmations
• Love
• Identity
• Dreams
• Success
and integrates the F.E.V.E.R.S. Framework:
• Frequency of Loving More
• Energy of Joy
• Vibration of Hope
• Elevation of Peace
• Reflection of Divine Purpose
• Scope of Forgiveness
Together, these frameworks invite Journeyers to move beyond survival toward becoming Cycle-Breakers who cultivate the FEVERS wherever they serve. Upon completing the certification, Journeyers will possess the knowledge, ethical foundation, practical coaching skills, and healing mindset necessary to guide themselves and others toward greater well-being and transformation.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this certification, Journeyers will be able to:
• Apply Healing Justice-centered, Trauma-informed coaching principles in individual, family, and community settings.
