Nature-Connected Coaching

COLLABORATE WITH NATURE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLIENT’S GOALS

Earth-Based Institute (EBI) has been training Nature-Connected Coaches (NCC) since 2008. Known as the pioneer in the field, NCC is a low-residency, Level 2 ICF accredited coaching program designed to help you master the skills of Professional Coaching through a unique, nature-focused approach that is not found anywhere else.

TWO PHASE APPROACH TO A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

PHASE 1 – Build Your Skills, Confidence,
And Practice

Over the course of Phase 1, you’ll immerse yourself in our complete coaching curriculum and graduate with your NCC certification. Along the way, you’ll master nature immersion and awareness practices, develop deep listening and questioning skills, and learn how to apply neuroscience to your work.
Through experiential learning, you'll practice the theory you're learning in real time, get hands-on feedback, AND be mentored by an experienced coach. You’ll also gain advanced tools like Gestalt Therapy, Trauma-Informed Coaching, Partswork, and approaches for supporting grief and loss, taught by leading experts. By the end of Phase 1, you’ll not only feel ready to guide others, you’ll already be working with your first paid clients.
"Before this program, I had no idea how to bring my passion for nature into a real coaching practice. The training gave me the confidence to start my business, and within weeks, I had my first paying clients." – Shelly Boucher - NCC Student

Phase 2 – Expand Your Impact and Professional Credentials

Phase 2 is where you'll move towards mastery with ICF Credentialing through our Mentor Coaching program. You’ll work 1-on-1 and in small groups with our business coaches to refine your niche, strengthen your marketing, and grow your practice.
As part of our NCC Alumni Community, you’ll have lifelong access to a network of peers for collaboration, referrals, and continued learning. You’ll also have the opportunity to retake intensives at no cost, ensuring you remain current with evolving methods and maintain your edge as a nature-connected coach.
"Earning my ICF credential was a game changer for me in mastering the skills of coaching. The mentor coaching and alumni community gave me the structure and support I needed to grow my business while staying true to my values and my love of working in nature." – Justin Silver, NCC Alumni

  • Is your coaching certification program accredited?
    Yes! The NCC program is accredited as a Level 2 with the International Coaching Federation. ICF offers three levels of credentialing to coaches: ACC (Associate Certified Coach), PCC (Professional Certified Coach), and MCC (Master Certified Coach). Each level requires a certain amount of education hours, mentoring hours, as well as professional experience hours.

    Our NCC program meets and exceeds all the standards for issuing PCC level certification and sets our students up for pursuing MCC.

    Due to the amount of professional experience hours required for credentialing, most students achieve ACC level credentialing before the end of year 2.

    These credentials are internationally recognized, which allows you to work with clients all over the world. The core competencies of Professional Coaching are the gold standard in the coaching field and can be applied into many modalities, including Nature-Connected Coaching.These credentials are internationally recognized, which allows you to work with clients all over the world.
