Begin Wellness training with the Wellness Module that follows your foundations month. For example, if you enroll in Coaching Foundations in January, you would begin Soma Habits in February. All modules are offered twice a year.

Soma Planning. Jan/July
Soma Habits. Feb/Aug
Soma Nutrition. March/Sept
Soma Finance. April/Oct
Soma Fitness. May/Nov
Soma Business Launch. June/Dec

You have one year to complete training so if you need to miss a month, you can take the module six months later. If you do not miss any months, training can be completed and certification earned within seven months.

During Zoom and webinar trainings you will also learn how to manage coassemble elearning courses with your clients. You will directly enroll your own clients into your courses with the ability to then interact with them through the elearning platform.

The Soma Business Launch Module includes training in coaching ethics, the coaching agreement, and marketing options and resources.

Wellness module starting point always follows foundations month.
