Transformation Coaching Academy®

At Transformation Coaching Academy®, we train coaches to create real, lasting transformation—not just surface-level change.

Founded by Burk and Isobel, the academy is built on over three decades of combined experience in personal development, coaching, and deep transformational work. Our focus is simple: to equip coaches with the skills, understanding, and confidence to help clients achieve meaningful, sustainable results.

A Different Approach to Coaching

The coaching industry has grown rapidly in recent years, but many training programmes focus primarily on conversational techniques rather than true transformation.

At Transformation Coaching Academy®, we take a deeper approach.

Our Life Transformation Coaching Certification Course is designed to help you understand the root causes of human behaviour—how thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and subconscious patterns shape a person’s experience of life. By working at this level, coaches are able to facilitate change that is not only powerful, but lasting.

Our training integrates a range of proven disciplines, including:

• Advanced coaching methodologies
• Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
• Subconscious reprogramming techniques
• Emotional healing and release processes
• Neuroscience and neuroplasticity
• Mindset and identity transformation
• Advanced communication skills

This integrated approach ensures that our students are not limited to theory, but are able to confidently apply what they learn in real coaching situations.

Personal Transformation as the Foundation

We believe that effective coaching begins with personal transformation.

As part of the training, students are guided to work through their own limiting beliefs, emotional patterns, traumas and internal blocks. This process builds self-awareness, confidence, and authenticity—essential qualities for any professional coach.

By doing the work themselves, our students develop the ability to hold space for others in a grounded and effective way.

From Certification to Practice

In addition to developing strong coaching skills, we also support our students in building a coaching practice.

This includes guidance on:

• How to find and attract clients
• How to confidently sign up paying clients
• Structuring coaching sessions
• Building confidence as a professional coach

Our aim is to ensure that students not only qualify as coaches, but are also prepared to apply their skills in the real world. Because without the ability to sign up clients, even the best training has no real-world impact.

Global Training with Ongoing Support

Our training is delivered through an interactive online platform, making it accessible to students worldwide.

We provide ongoing support throughout the learning journey and beyond certification, creating a supportive environment where coaches can continue to grow and develop.

Final Note

We built this academy because we saw what was missing in the coaching world.

And we knew there had to be a better way.

This is that way.
