Advanced Integrative Coach Certification; the 3 brains coach Certification

Learn a proven, effective way to enable successful, long-lasting change, based on scientific research.

Learn how our three Brains—Head, Heart and Gut—are connected for powerful decision-making and how they store our memories and emotions (like stress, fear, anger, grief, sadness and frustration).

Yes, there are three brains controlling us and our clients. 

We have an ‘enteric brain’ otherwise known as your ‘gut brain’ which controls our survival needs and acts in fear or anger hence: fight or flight responses and feeds our EGO. 

Then there’s the ‘cardiac brain’ which is your ‘heart brain’ and it controls our bonding with other people and that is where we feel love, compassion but also hate. Finally, there’s the ‘head brain’ with three brains inside it (the rational new brain or prefrontal cortex; the emotional middle brain; and the instinctual reptilian brain). 

If you are not aware of all our brains and know how to work with them, then how are you going to truly help your client to make lasting change?
