  • "Wisdom of the Whole coaching academy has allowed me to deepen my personal narrative around self-healing while positively affecting all of my relationships and practices, both personal and public. My understanding of the human psyche in relationship to the evolution of the earth and humankind has been elevated exponentially. I truly feel holistically aware and one with our existence."

    -Elsa, New York

  • "I felt so much support and acceptance in my classes from my instructor and the other students. It was a relaxing, fun, and stimulating environment to learn in and I felt our closeness grow as the weeks flew by. Coaching will definitely enhance my work and deepen my relationships with my patients and overall in my life."

    -Patty, Nurse, Arizona

  • "I love this program. It is teaching me to be whole in order to recognize the wholeness of my clients."

    -Theresa, Nurse, New York

  • "Wisdom of the Whole integrates personal ways of knowing oneself thereby empowering oneself the capability to do this for others."

    -Sharon, Nurse, Ohio

  • "Wisdom of the Whole's Advanced Tools course offers an amazing, hands-on education of fun and practical tools that expand consciousness, help coaches, clients, and perhaps more beings than we can imagine."

    -Zachary, North Carolina

  • "A great course to expand your practice. This must be integrated into classes everywhere! Phenomenal. Empowering. My life is forever changed."

    -Regina, Nurse, California

  • "I’m very grateful for the Wisdom of the Whole program. This program has positively influenced my life, personally and professionally. From a nursing stand point, this program really embodies what it means to be a nurse. I feel like the program really steers nursing as a whole back to the way that Florence Nightingale, the founder of nursing, intended it to be."

    -Kimberly, Nurse, Louisiana

  • "I am so glad I took this program. If this is something you are thinking about doing, DO IT!"

    -Andrea, Nurse, California

  • "Wisdom of the Whole Coaching is a very thoughtful program that feels like the gift of a life's work from Linda Bark. It has made a meaningful difference in my Midwifery practice supporting women to feel empowered and find their own path."

    -Kiana, Hawaii

  • "I have greatly enjoyed every minute of this course. I had not anticipated the many ways that the course would help me grow not only in a professional sense but in my personal life as well."

    -Tobias, Minnesota

  • "The integral perspective is for this now moment. The structures of consciousness provide a valuable framework for drawing attention to the various multiform layers of wisdom that we may consult from within."

    -Benjamin, California

  • "The Wisdom of the Whole coaches and staff have set me up for success as a life coach. When I first attempted coaching, I felt like I had a far more limited capacity to interact and related to clients. I have a specific niche I work in and felt comfortable there but knew I needed more breadth and depth of practice. This coaching modality gifted me that. I used to lead and advise and now I am far more able to offer tools to clients who have all the answers to their questions already and simply need assistance finding them within. Linda Bark's holistic coaching modality and Heidi Ochtrup's masterful coaching instruction have really helped put me on the path toward an expansive coaching practice and ability. I used to feel limited in my coaching capacity before this series of classes; I don't feel that way anymore. And I'm grateful."

    -Sean, sex/love addiction coach, New Mexico

  • "One of the gifts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the opportunity to become part of the Wisdom of the Whole community. Not only the education and experiences I have gained, but the people I have learned from and with, have become vital new resources that I am grateful to have with me as I move ahead into this whole new world of possibilities."

    -Melissa, acupuncturist, New York

  • "The most fundamental change is the new found light-heartedness and fun that I can introduce into client sessions while still offering tools that are deceptive in their simplicity and power. Also the wonderful freedom that comes from knowing that the client knows what's best for them and all I have to do is facilitate the knowing."

    -Rosalind, United Kingdom

  • "I highly recommend this course as a life changing, career enhancing tool in deep listening, and responding to various situations during actual clinical practice, such as admission processes. I had the experience of using one of the seven magic questions with an admission and the results were amazing. The classes are very interactive, fun and packed with sophisticated content that has been tried and true, over and over again. Even if one does not go on to be a coach, this is a great class to increase communication in the clinical setting as well as for personal growth."

    -Linda, New York

  • "The Wisdom of the Whole coaching program exceeded my expectations. The hands-on practice of coaching was invaluable. I had the opportunity to coach with feedback in the moment as well as be coached. I met and worked with some amazing individuals over the last seven months. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone seeking to learn or hone in on coaching skills from the whole person perspective. Absolutely an amazing program!"

    -Stephanie, Nurse, Georgia
