Michaelle Peacock30 May 2024 This was a rich and fulfilling program! It has given me incredible tools to help unleash transformation with my clients! I have gained many valuable skills, receive helpful support and grown tremendously! I am very grateful for the invaluable ways this program has prepared me to empower others! Laura Bruno17 May 2024 I have to admit this journey was truly inspiring and enlightening! I loved working with MBFI to become a certified life coach, their structure and online format are easy to navigate and pace the student for the best outcome possible. Thank you! Ads Diver6 May 2024 This has been a wonderful experience, the videos available to help you learn are phenomenal. The service you receive is second to none if you need support in any way. I have enjoyed how thorough the workbooks are, it gives you a feeling that you are cared about, and that MBFI want you to be able to say where you trained because you will be brilliant at what you are doing and people will either give you greater feedback or want to improve themselves and get trained by them too. Great company, great staff, great support. I couldn't be happier that I found MBFI. Sophie Popa6 May 2024 What an incredible and transformational journey it was to receive my certification as a Holistic Life Coach and Mind Body Practitioner! I am so thankful to have come across this institution as I feel it has fully equipped me to go ahead with my business, and connected me with incredible people from all over the world! Adrian Quintarelli4 May 2024 This course has meant so much to me! I am eternally grateful to Viki and the MBFI team! It is, by far, the best course I've ever done! I was challenged from start to finish, and learned more in 12 months than I did in in my undergraduate and postgraduate university studies, and in 35 years of Corporate life! The course notes, live webinars, 'vault' recordings, FB group, and coaching feedback are all incredibly helpful, and the material is so engaging and well-presented that I found it easy to absorb, continually craved more, and happily applied myself 100%! I always felt encouraged and supported, and knew I'd receive guidance whenever I was stuck. Those closest to me have seen and supported my transformation from ‘career-stuck mid-lifer’ to ‘passionate MindBody advocate’! ‘Catch, Challenge, Change' is forever etched in my thoughts. Thanks Viki Thondley 😊 Aysun Karakus29 April 2024 My journey with the Mindbodyfood institute started because of my own health issues. After healing my eczema/psorias, which I suffered from for over 20 years, I started my healthy lifestyle in 2018. Six months later not only had I lost 16kg's, I also had healed my eczema/psoriasis. No Doctor could help me. I did. In that moment I had only one wish, sharing this with the world and in order to be able to do that, I had to have a qualification. I searched the web, seen so many institutions, only one stood out for me, The Mindbodyfood institute. I enrolled and I am so grateful I did. Everyone here is so encouraging and so supportive it's amazing. So much knowledge and the way this course is designed, is very well thought through. I learnt so much, I learnt about things I wasn't even aware of. There is so much I could write here...If you are looking to study to become a Health Coach, do not hesitate. What an amazing journey this was. Thank you so much to everyone from Mindbodyfood institute. If I say this course has transformed me, I am not lying. I will definitely sign up for other courses, I am interested in, in the future. Thank you to all from the bottom of my heart :) Kristy Rowland29 April 2024 I loved this self paced course, not only did I learn how to help others I went through my own transformation while doing the training and put this into practice, i highly recommend MBFI! Lauren Kopua24 April 2024 This journey started because I met a Business and Life Coach, I loved how she spoke and she was genuinely interested in depth about people and acknowledged their successes, this lady became a mentor in my Life. To Jackie, I say thank you. I chose Holistic Life Coaching and Mind Body practitioner Course or did it choose me? I grew so much though this course, nobody had ever asked me what was important in my life, I was always trying to fit in other people's boxes. This course became a personal growth journey with a tool kit of tools that helped me navigate what life was bringing up for me. Now that I have completed my courses I look forward to helping others on their journey of discovering who they are and unleashing their true essence. Thank you to Mind Body Food Inst. Vicki and the team for creating a beautiful well structured nurturing course with great ongoing support and now the world is my oyster. Cheers Lauren Anna Ozolina24 April 2024 Great place to get new skills, professional staff, abundance of information. Thank you very much!

Why Holistic Life Coaching?
In this fast-paced, overworked and chronically stressed world there is an increasing desire to live a more purposeful, fulfilling and joyous life. This is evident in the growing number of people and businesses turning towards transformational life, health and wellness coaches in their attainment of meaning, growth and change.
Have you noticed the collective shift towards more holistic approaches in achieving a healthier and happier mindset and lifestyle?
People want more than they ever have before… more love, career options, deeper relationships, vibrant health and greater financial freedom to truly enjoy this precious life more fully.
Evidence-based behavioural neuroscience is finally reaching mainstream healthcare, while the wellbeing arena is booming with a newfound independence away from outdated approaches that often miss the bigger picture – and the root cause of mental health.
We can no longer ignore the deeper layers of human existence, or neglect to include nervous system education and mind-body practices into mainstream healthcare and wellbeing approaches.
This is where a trained Holistic Life Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner has a huge advantage in providing a much-needed service within the wellbeing space and across mental health industries.
Our Unique Evidence-Based Approach
Experience your own cognitive shift of perception, mood and attitude as you learn how to help a client tune-in and attend to their needs, values and beliefs from a whole person, solution-focused and client-centred approach that includes MIND, BODY, SPIRIT, EMOTIONS.
You’ll integrate the tools and techniques into your own life circumstances so you can learn how to free yourself from your own limited thinking and unhelpful behavioural patterns.
Experience the art of coaching for yourself to bring a awareness and personal insight into facilitating deep shifts for your clients with Viki’s 5-Step Coaching Blueprint to guide you.
With this practical integration to support your knowledge through experience, you’ll be able to confidently coach within a holistic framework using practical neuroscience, positive psychology and mind-body practices to your sought-after advantage.
Be a unique coach who understands how to apply practical neuroscience and evidence-based strategies.

As someone interested in becoming a ‘Coach’, the word itself may not actually resonate with you. In many countries, coaching is still a relatively new term, so the word ‘Coach’ simply may not align with your niche area, your clientele, your community, or even your energy.
But no-one says you have to call yourself a ‘coach’ when you’re qualified!

Support & Assessment
Absolutely! Our awesome team of passionate mentor coaches are here to help you succeed. However big or small the question, we’re here to give you the information and guidance you need, when you need it. We are all qualified industry professionals.
You bet there is – we love questions and we’re here to help you learn! As online study can often feel overwhelming or isolating, we are consciously active and involved with our students so they know there’s help available whenever they need it. As long as you reach out when you need to, we will be here to support you as much as you need. There is oodles of support in our active private Facebook group too!
No! Modules are made available in the platform every 7 days beginning the date you enrolled, thereby honouring our weekly schedule and ensuring students take their time to absorb, apply and integrate their insights and learning without rush. You are not expected to keep up with the weekly schedule as some modules are an invitation to stay awhile and allow for healing.
We don’t want to overwhelm anyone so the module tasks are designed to help you feel like you’re also growing and stretching while you’re doing the work that you’ll expect your clients to do. We always focus on small steps, consistently.
Your module tasks are much more practical than research based, so don’t worry about having to spend hours and hours reading and referencing! We’re more about the ‘doing and being’ so you can apply what you’re learning into ‘real life’.
Competency-based certification courses with practical elements require demonstration of understanding and self-application within a specified learning window. If learning is not consistent, knowledge and skills will be diminished or lost and the student may struggle to effectively demonstrate skills to meet competency.
It’s similar to how certain professions require continuing education every 1-2 years to stay relevant and knowledgeable within their field of practice. As coaching does not require CPD, the learning and application window must be contained for the best opportunity to retain information, utilise practical skills, and grow in confidence consistently.
We assess your competency based on demonstrated self-insight, self-reflection and written assessments, plus practical feedback, coaching observation, experience and core skills demonstration. You attain the core coaching competencies through in-depth theoretical training, practical experience and audio demonstration as you progress and complete the course with our mentoring to guide you. On successful completion you will receive two separate certificates to verify your accomplishments for professional recognition.
YES! In fact you’ll be trainee coaching clients from week four of the course and gaining practical coaching hours as you progress! By actioning your new skills and knowledge straight into practice, you’ll grow your confidence and coaching prowess tenfold instead of waiting until you finished, or felt ‘ready’.
Most of our graduates start taking paying clients before they’re finished – especially when they’re adding coaching into an existing profession and combining modalities, or when they’re practice clients are so happy with the results that they want to work with them straight away!

As you move through this experiential program, you can immediately start applying these coaching methodologies, communicational skills, behavioural psychology and practical mind-body tools into your own life, career and relationships.
You will get clear about your own values and goals to deepen your personal growth and competency skills in practice, all while learning how to inspire change and empower others!
Our course is the product of over twenty years of study, research, and personal and professional experience presented in an easily accessible, relatable and integrative way.
You get the information you need to know – without all the fluff – that you can immediately apply into the real world as an effective, empowering and confident behaviour change expert.
