The Rooted Coach Certification
by birch & stone
This is where compassionate humans become skilled coaches, learning to lead growth with presence, strength, and grounded support.
Now Enrolling
A sustainable, relationship-based certification for humans who want to guide themselves and others with clarity, integrity, and real tools.
This is about more than learning how to coach.
It’s about learning how to hold space,
how to hear what is actually being said,
how to guide change without force,
and how to build growth that lasts.
Learn to coach in a way people can actually receive.
This is a live, relationship-based training where you build the inner steadiness and outer skill required to guide real transformation.
You won’t memorize scripts.
You won’t hide in a giant group.
You won’t be left wondering if you’re doing it right.
You will practice.
You will be coached.
You will be known.
This is for you if:
- You know personal growth must start with you
- You want real mentorship, not just information
- You are ready to stretch
- You feel called to help people in deeper ways
- You want tools that are ethical, grounded, and sustainable
This is NOT for you if:
- You want a quick certificate without practice
- You prefer anonymous, self-paced learning
- You want rigid formulas instead of human connection
- You are unwilling to look at your own patterns
What you leave with
By the end of this certification, you will be able to:
✔ regulate yourself inside emotional conversations
✔ listen without fixing or rescuing
✔ ask powerful, clean questions
✔ help people find their own truth
✔ create safety and momentum
✔ trust your coaching voice
✔ work with clients ethically and confidently
This is the work.
