How Spiritual Coaches Guide A Client To Healing and Transformation
When someone seeks out a spiritual coach they often want to heal some issue or improve areas of their life. They want someone who will give them spiritual perspective and support.
The approach a spiritual coach takes depends on If and where they went to school, their religion or spiritual path, and the approach they wish take around healing and spirituality.
Are all Spiritual Coaches the same?
Spiritual Coaches are not the same nor are the services they provide.
Some people proclaim themselves to be a spiritual coach or healer from their experience or taking a healing course. Some people take a reiki course, an energy healing class, a specific healing technique or a class at their church or spiritual center. Those spiritual coaches tend to work with clients for a shorter period of time and have less tools to work with to help clients. By attending a Spiritual Coach Certification Program more training and skill development is provided, more healing tools and processes are provided/ Certified Spiritual Coaches tend to be more successful and have more of a long-term practice in which they meet with clients week after week.
Some Spiritual Coaching schools teach coaches to provide more specific coaching such as Christian Coaching, Buddhist Coaching etc. Some schools are more universal in their approach.
