Life Coach / Health & Wellness Certification Programs

Course Description

Instructor: Margaret McCraw, MBA, LCSW-C, BCC

BHLD offers a credentialed consulting certification in relationship wellness for professionals. Our consulting certification is stream-lined for professional learners to enable a flexible schedule and to save you time. The program requires reading material and taking an exam based on the material you’ve reviewed.

Consulting is different than coaching or counseling. Consulting provides a foundation for you to take your expertise into a training environment. You share your expertise with others via workshops, seminars, conferences, teleconference training, webinars, expos, keynote speaking, authoring books, writing blogs and other online learning opportunities.

Margaret McCraw’s Harmonic Matching Process is the foundation for consulting training. Harmonic Matching is a comprehensive four-step model to deliberately focus our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in a positive direction in order to align with our desires. These courses are intended to teach participants vibrational principles and tools combined with other life enhancement skills, deepening the participant’s understanding of how to create fulfilling relationships at home and at work.
