 March 5, 2025

By  Marianne Gernetzke

If you’re an ICF- or NBHWC-trained coach looking to deepen your coaching skills, refine your intuition, and expand your presence, I have something exciting for you! As a wellbeing coach, assessor, and mentor with a background in healthcare, I am passionate about advancing the field of coaching in a way that blends skillful practice with deeper energetic awareness. That’s why I’ve created Tuning into Transformation: Coaching with an Energetic Lens, an 8 week mentor coaching course that integrates core competency development, energetic awareness, and ancient wisdom traditions.

Update: This course is now approved by the ICF! Earn 17 Core Competency CCEs and 3 Resource Development CCEs while completing group mentor coaching hours!!

What Motivated the Creation of this Course?

Last year, a coaching colleague approached me with a dilemma. She had recently dropped out of a continuing education course, feeling deeply disappointed.

“A lot of students were drawn to this course,” she told me, “but for me, it fell flat. It felt totally transactional. I didn’t feel inspired, and there was no heart in it. Honestly, I thought of you—would you ever consider creating something better?”

That conversation stayed with me. It planted the seed for what would eventually become Tuning into Transformation: Coaching with an Energetic Lens—a mentor coaching experience designed for coaches who want to go beyond technique and step into deeper presence, intuition, and energetic awareness in their work.

What’s This Course All About?

In this educational and mentor coaching experience, participants will explore coaching through the lens of depth, presence, and expanded awareness. You’ll deepen your understanding of the ICF Core Competencies while learning to attune to the subtle energies present in every session. Through this process, you’ll cultivate holistic listening, access your intuitive wisdom, and learn to honor and support the whole client.

Through small-group discussion and coaching skills exploration, you’ll have the opportunity to refine your coaching approach in a way that moves beyond transactional conversations into more meaningful experiences for your clients.

This course is designed for ICF- or NBHWC-trained coaches who want to:

  • Deepen their coaching skills while aligning with ICF Core Competencies
  • Renew their ACC or PCC credential
