Vision Coach Training & Certification

>>> Scroll Down for Videos about the Vision Coach Training Program

The Vision Coach Training Program tends to attract folks with strong beliefs in natural healing. Participants are typically a mix of practitioners (we've even had four MD's!), people eager to become Natural Vision Coaches or add Vision Coaching to their mix, and others who just want to improve their own eyesight and help family members.

The "buddy coaching" we do with fellow students is much more than just an exercise. For most participants, buddy coaching brings a great opportunity to take a fresh look at their lives, and find more clarity about what they want to do (and "see") next. Clarity of purpose is a great metaphor for clarity of vision! After the buddy coaching sessions, you will be surprised at how confident and successful you will feel with your "practice clients".

Greg Marsh is an engaging presenter who takes care to maintain a safe setting where people can have a rich mix of ideas and learn from each other. Each training group has a unique mix of expertise and knowledge. To learn from others in the class, we'll go a bit off the trail together sometimes. But we'll keep coming back to the rich understanding we seek of the Bates Method and complimentary approaches. Greg's teaching style is fun and unhurried, yet we'll cover a lot and end classes on time.

The core of what we will learn and explore together is the Bates Method of improving eyesight through relaxation, movement, and awareness. The Vision Coach Training will include other tools including basic EFT "tapping", guided visualization, and a simple coaching approach to support people who are improving their eyesight with natural approaches.

Some people are doubtful about EFT at first. "It didn't work for me." You certainly don't have to include EFT in your personal "toolbox", but most participants usually have surprising success with it as another way to dissolve tight muscles and tight thoughts that can hold back eyesight. Guided visualization is likewise more simple and more powerful than you might expect. And, we use a powerful uncomplicated coaching approach to help us tune in to what clients really want and need.

We will meet on Zoom. Although we have in the past had our first week of each training in person, we have adapted to the new reality of Zoom. Greg has been using platforms like Webex and Zoom for several years, and is amazed at how well a thoughtful group of humans can "connect" on video. Also, we make good use of Zoom's "breakout rooms" in smaller groups, so everyone gets to speak and share more.

If you have questions please feel free to call at +1 970-391-7957, or we can set up a zoom meeting. I promise it is not my mission to sell you on taking the Training. The aim is to help you find out if it feels like a "fit". -- Greg Marsh
