I recently completed my Spiritual Life Coach Certification through the Life Purpose Institute, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. The program is well-structured and thoughtfully designed, providing everything needed to confidently begin a coaching practice.
One of the highlights for me was the sense of community. My classmates were supportive, inspiring, and genuinely committed to personal growth, which made the learning environment both enriching and enjoyable.
Our instructor, Kimberly, was exceptional. She brought warmth, wisdom, and real-world insight to every session, creating a space where everyone felt encouraged and empowered to develop their unique coaching style.
In just three months, I gained a strong foundation of practical skills, tools, and confidence to launch my own coaching practice. I highly recommend the Life Purpose Institute to anyone who feels called to coaching and wants a comprehensive, inspiring, and supportive training experience.
I am extremely satisfied with the training I received from LPI and the results are shown in my clients. This is a great training program. Don't hesitate, sign up.

I enjoyed the thoroughness of the course and the available resources. Having such a detailed manual and videos were extremely helpful as a coach-in-training. The instructor was knowledgeable and explained the techniques of coaching in a way that was relatively easy to understand. I appreciated the class practice coaching sessions and the insightful feedback provided.
The manual was very detailed and contains a great deal of valuable information for a new coach. The manual layout was helpful when I wanted to go to specific parts of a chapter. Including videos as a part of the curriculum was a great visual and audio way for coaching students to see how a coaching session is done. I think the course is fantastic and I plan to pursue my next level of coaching development with LPI. I also think that the course is tailored in a way that supports an adult learner

I didn't realize how much of an impact LPI was going to be for my personal journey and professional career transition to being a life coach. The institute prepared me for real world clients and situations, while giving me the opportunity to experience coaching for myself amongst my other peers. Special acknowledgement to my instructor Gretchen. She was more than an instructor, she was someone who challenged the entire class and pulled out what was always within me. Thank you LPI for an amazing experience.

I recently completed the Life Coach Certification Program with Life Purpose Institute and it was an amazing experience. The training not only deepened my understanding of coaching but also helped me discover so much about myself, including fears and beliefs I had been holding on to.
My instructor, Carrie Chown, exceeded my expectations. Her positive and uplifting energy immediately put me at ease and every class left me feeling energized and inspired to take on this new venture.
The manual was detailed and practical, with scripts, templates, and worksheets that were incredibly helpful. Overall, the program provided high-quality instruction, valuable resources, and a supportive environment. I highly recommend Life Purpose Institute to anyone considering life coach training.

What a powerful journey with LPI! LPI is a rare space where intention meets integrity. They really walk their talk and know how to demonstrate the power of coaching with the deepest levels of compassion. The methodology helps you to understand the power of discipline and structure, while simultaneously teaching the power of surrender. Learning how to be an effective space for another person's healing journey has been priceless! Fern has really honed in on the magic of co-creation and her teachers are top notch. I really can't say enough about LPI! What a gift! 💝💝💝

I got my Life Coach Certification with the Life Purpose Institute and I can't be happier about it. The training itself and the materials provided are great, manuals are complete and perfectly structured, and teachers were amazing. Also, I loved the safe space and little community created with my fellow students. I totally recommend them, specially because they are also ICF certified which was a must for me.

I did the Spiritual + Life Coaching 5 day intensive course.
I'll start with the positives. There is plenty of material for newbie coaches. You get templates for coaching agreements, intake forms, and coaching tools, including some powerful spiritually-focused tools. There is additional support for marketing and an alumni network. In short, you get all the structure and basics that you'll need to start out as a coach, with a spiritual flair.
As for negatives, LPI's coaching model as taught was very rigid. It often left little or no room for us to use our intuition or incorporate any existing practices into our work with others. It was taught as though LPI's model is the one and only way to coach, when there are multiple proven coaching models, and many coaches create their own programs. I didn't feel like there was much room for 'me' while meeting the course objectives. Finally, I felt as though our instructor did not embody the presence I would expect from someone leading others in a spiritual coaching program. At times, I felt there was unfair criticism, favoritism, and in general that myself and my gifts were not seen or reflected back to me by my instructor.
Despite the negatives I experienced, I would recommend LPI's spiritual coaching program to starting coaches with a couple caveats:
1) View it as a starting point rather than the only way to coach
2) Ask if you are able to meet with the instructor beforehand to see if you vibe with them or not

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful and detailed feedback about your experience in the Spiritual + Life Coaching Intensive. We’re glad to hear you found value in the resources, templates, tools, and ongoing support, and that these helped lay a foundation for your coaching journey. We also truly hear your concerns about the structure of our coaching model and the space for personal style and intuition. Because Life Purpose Institute is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), we are required to teach and evaluate students using a specific set of core competencies and coaching approaches. This ensures your training hours meet global ICF standards and can be applied toward credentialing. The structure you experienced is part of meeting those rigorous requirements, but it’s also meant to give you a strong starting point you can later adapt and blend with your own unique style, intuition, and methods as you grow as a coach.
We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel fully seen or supported by your instructor. That’s not the experience we want for any of our students, and your feedback is important for us to review internally so we can continue improving both our teaching approach and the learning environment. We appreciate your recommendation to others to view the program as a strong starting point and to connect with the instructor beforehand. Those are valuable suggestions, and we’ll take them into consideration as we refine our processes. Wishing you all the best as you integrate your training with your personal gifts and create a coaching practice that is uniquely yours.

I took the 3-month regular Life Coaching course with LPI and really learned a lot. I investigated a lot of courses before choosing this one because there are a lot of scams out there. I also wanted to be able to qualify for the International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials without spending too much money (relatively speaking).
While I can't say I loved any of the back-end staff I interacted with, they got the job done. But my instructors were all fabulous! I mainly had Juliette, who was such a treat! We also had at least one substitute I also thought was great. I've interacted with some other LPI instructors as well at other trainings LPI offered and they have all been top-notch!
I'm now doing my mentoring to qualify for my ICF ACC (1st level of credentials). My mentor coach said I am already (at least in some ways) coaching at almost a PCC level (the 2nd level up). And at least once, she told me something I did was MCC level (the highest level). Admittedly, I have experience in behavioral health, so I wasn't brand new to this type of thing, but still, I think I got a very good educational experience at LPI and I would recommend it.

I was privileged to take both the Life and Relationship certification programs, and I must say, "This is one of the best decisions I have made in my life!"
The care and high level of intentionality for growth and success that's put into each of the programs I took is a testament to the high integrity of LPI.
The work might seem like a lot, but upon completion, students walk away not only with head knowledge but with cutting-edge tools and a high level of confidence to stand out in the world as coaches.
Thanks to Fern, Gina, my instructors/coaches, and other members of staff.

For me it was life changing. You get the education, skills & training (practice) that you need to become a successful coach, all while coaching yourself through the process. Win-win! I would absolutely recommend anyone wanting to get certified as a coach, to do it through LPI; the sessions are incredibly well curated, such a safe space to learn + share, and the material is top-notch.
