“Margaret McCraw has the leadership experience and drive to make a difference in her community. A visionary leader with a commitment to excellence, Margaret McCraw is well suited to lead and serve our community.”

“BHLD’s training in Life Coaching is of the highest quality.
The training allows me to be able to study when I have time. There are plenty of lectures, assignments, tests, and practice to ensure you are qualified and confident on completion of the course.”

James H. Stewart, MD, Division of Consultative and Diagnostic Medicine, Mayo Clinic

“Perhaps the greatest gift of becoming a Master Life Coach is the profound insights and clarity I have gained in my own life and personal journey through a traumatic childhood, divorce, and food addiction to being voted the best teacher in the country, recovery and healing, inner peace and joy.  Margaret McCraw and her professional staff were readily accessible, warm, cordial and supportive. They were committed to my success. They would not let me fail!”

“Having worked for a large, urban public school district for twenty-three years I was beyond thrilled to discover that there were Executive Life Coaches already employed as independent contractors within my own school district. Months before even completing my course with BHLD, I utilized the law of attraction and was offered an opportunity to become an independent contractor and Executive Life Coach working with school principals and others in leadership positions.”

“Now, in addition to educational consulting, being an author (Why We Teach: Learning, Laughter, Love and the Power to Transform Lives, Scholastic, Inc. 2008: Open a World of Possible, Scholastic, Inc. 2014), and enjoying my family I have fulfilled a dream of becoming a Master Life Coach and a world traveler. I enjoy being able to coach clients globally by phone or Skype. I count Margaret McCraw and BHLD as one of a myriad of blessings in my life. I am eternally grateful.”

Christine Capasso, Certified Life Coach Graduate

What was the best part of the program?
“I feel I personally learned and studied as much as I would from a two to four year college but in a much shorter amount of time. The lectures were formatted in a well thought out manner to give each student personalized attention, answer our questions, share our own experiences, and interact with each other. I especially appreciate the lessons learned regarding our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs as these components of human nature affect all aspects of life.”

What did you gain from the experience?
“The course not only provided me with the tools I needed to achieve my goals, it was therapeutic for my personal self awareness. This course has changed my life. After the life coach and holistic health practitioner training I am encountering more loving and positive experiences that are a result of what I learned in this program. As a business owner, I have much more confidence and I am much more successful than prior to taking this certification course. Margaret is a blessing to all who encounter her. You can feel her sincerity and love. Her education background, clinical knowledge, and experience along with her personal compassion for people enable her to be superlative as a trainer and coach.”

Pat Holmes, Master Life Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner

What was the best part of the program?
“The program anchored many of my understandings in a real and practical way. I found the suggested techniques incredibly helpful. And, it was good to have dedicated time with others on the same quest to explore the Law of Attraction.”

What did you personally gain from the program?
“Since working with the Law of Attraction, my attitude has changed in profound ways and my life has been enriched beyond measure. I now know that I have absolute control of my experiences and I have been delighted and joyful as evidence of this has manifested in my life.”

What did you professionally gain from the program?
“Making new connections with like-minded individuals was extremely helpful. My classmates are an incredible addition to my network and I anticipate maintaining long-term relationships with each. Adding a Life Coach certification to my credentials allows me to attract clients that may have different needs than my nonprofit groups or hypnotherapy clients. In addition, it’s more than just adding another tool to my tool box-–it is the umbrella perspective that enhances my effectiveness in working with others. Margaret is a gifted trainer and coach!”

Katha Kissman, Business Consultant and Certified Hypnotherapist

“What was the best part of the program?
Margaret McCraw is a tremendous example of the Law of Attraction concept that she espouses. She walks the walk and talks the talk! Every segment of the program represents a ‘double loop learning’ opportunity–in that she is modeling, coaching, teaching and reinforcing all at the same time. Additionally, her style of teaching is very organic and engaging.”

“The best part of the program was the ‘active/mutual/real time’ class coaching opportunities. Margaret McCraw, at the outset, assigned me a coaching partner and we worked with each other over the course of the program, coaching each other. In addition, during the second half of the program, students acted as coaches and clients in real time in the program with the class witnessing and collaborating in ‘fishbowl fashion’. I found this very effective both when I volunteered to act as coach and as client.”

What did you gain from the experience?
“Earning a certificate from a credentialed training institute (BHC) enables my work to be highly regarded with clients of all walks of life. It gives me a big boost in marketing my services. The Law of Attraction is a benefit that I did not foresee when I initially signed up for the certification program and it has paid off significantly for me in a variety of areas in my life. It is the bedrock of the BHC Program and a concept that McCraw has been quite successful in exploring in her published books as well as in her teaching and presentation style. Additionally, the introspective nature of the program has inspired me to be a much more ‘positive force’ in all of my relationships.”

Sam Kirkland, Master Life Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner

What was the best part of the program?
“Learning more about how to apply the Law of Attraction to everyday life, for myself and for my clients. The interaction with the other helping professionals in the class who share my interest in life coaching was also an invaluable experience. We were able to learn from Margaret’s experience as a life coach, as well as learn from each other with our varying life and professional experiences.”

What did you personally gain from the program?
“I gained a much deeper understanding of how my desires and core beliefs truly reflect my reality. This training motivated me to be purposeful in moving through my life with a vision, setting positive intentions, and maintaining positive energy.”

What did you professionally gain from the program?
“I learned how to transfer the beliefs of Law of Attraction to specific life coaching techniques to help clients achieve their goals. I left the program with the tools I need to start my own life coaching practice and that felt good! Additionally, I developed a network with the other professionals at the training, which I believe will serve all of us well as we move forward in our careers.”

Jennifer Salaverri, Psychotherapist

Jen Woolford, Research Associate

What was the best part of the program?
“The Law of Attraction Life Coach Certification Program was delivered in a condensed format that I could fit in with my normal work schedule. The best part of the program was the exciting level of discussion in a small class with students who had already developed skills as health providers.”

What did you gain from the experience?
“I was personally thrilled and surprised that after years of giving lectures, doing clinical practice, and regular spiritual practice I still discovered things about myself in this program and feel I advanced as both a human being and a practitioner. I was able to start using my new skills immediately and look forward to developing my new ‘fun’ work for the next phase of my life.”

Sarah B. Hansel, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist Baltimore, MD

I was very impressed with Margaret McCraw, her knowledge, personal and professional experience and her belief and understanding of The Law of Attraction. This is more than a course. It is a program that develops cohesiveness among the students. It provided us the opportunity to align with our life purpose and to unite with like-minded thinkers and to share our ideas.”

Rena Larkin, Management

What was the best part of the program?
“The program helped me to understand how the experiences we attract can show up in our lives in various ways. This has a major impact in how I manage my life on a day-to-day basis. Margaret McCraw is an excellent trainer and coach. This is evident in her ability to convey complex information in a manner that her participants can receive and thoroughly understand.”

This is a wonderful program which has greatly impacted my life.”

Biko Sankofa, Developmental Psychologist

What was the best part of the program?
“The best part of the program was learning a new way of thinking about moving towards what you desire rather than focusing on what you don’t want. In its most simplistic form it’s as easy as snapping your fingers if you are willing to reframe your thinking and make it an on-going practice. The result is a much more satisfied, energized and fulfilled life.”

What did you gain from the experience?
“To trust in my ability to guide my clients toward desired change by coaching and tapping into my intuition. I also gained skills to improve my own life that have made an impact in just two short weeks. I realize that there are endless opportunities for each issue we face and that miracles really do happen.”

“Margaret is deeply passionate about what she teaches. She has an astonishing grasp of the material and delivers it in an easy to digest manner. She works collaboratively with her students and continually opens up the dialogue for shared thinking and experiences. Margaret is a gifted educator, coach, and mentor with a warm disposition and generous spirit.”

“Currently, I have incorporated what I learned into several health education programs such as nutrition and communicating with your health care provider. I am also creating a coaching program to help clients quit smoking and to support individuals diagnosed with cancer.”

Jill Adler, Master Life Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner

What was the best part of the program?
“No matter what job I took I manifested a salary that was less than I needed to live. Sounds odd considering I have 10 years of education and over ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. Within a week of the certification class, I manifested a job that was at least triple my income, maybe more!”

What did you gain from the experience?
“Several synchronistic events led me to Margaret and to the class. Margaret demonstrated so confidently how everything we need to know can be downloaded intuitively. I do not know how to describe the increase in confidence I have in my intuition and the change in my understanding of energy and vibration. Now I can’t imagine making a decision without checking in with my higher self.”

“Margaret gets it, she understands vibrational alignment. She trusts! It’s the understanding you can’t get from a book alone. I am so excited and happy to know a fantastic relationship, health and wealth are coming to me now. Thank you Margaret! If you want to understand the “Law of Attraction” while earning your certification then this is the class for you. By all means, do yourself a favor and give yourself a fantastic gift. Take the class now!”
