Specialized health coaching education for practitioners who work with women, combining established coaching methodology, Menstrual Cycle Awareness, and hands-on practice.
Across 8 modules, you'll start with your own cycle, then learn the coaching relationship, behavior change, whole-person assessment and goal setting, coaching real clients, and building a practice of your own.
8 Modules
36 Lectures
Live Calls & Peer Practice
The program combines recorded lessons you watch on your own schedule with live calls and coaching practice alongside your cohort, from November 2026 to April 2027.

Each module has 3 to 7 recorded lessons with Kate, reflection questions after every lesson, a wrap-up for every module, and practice-ready templates and reference cards to use with your own clients.
2–3
60 to 90 minutes each, on Tuesdays, at alternating times so more time zones can join live. Every call is interactive, and every call is recorded after it's delivered live.
Peer
Coach and be coached by your fellow students, and get feedback as you build your own coaching voice.

What You'll Be Able to Do
Enrollment is open until November 6. The first cohort is limited to 30 students.
See Tuition & EnrollThese calls take you deeper into key topics from that month’s modules, then give you the chance to put the skill to work. You’ll be partnered with another student to practice the coaching skill being explored and receive feedback from your practice partner. It’s one of the most direct ways to build confidence in applying what you’re learning.
Each Coaching Integration Call welcomes an established coach as a guest speaker. They’ll share the knowledge, experience, and techniques behind a specific coaching skill they’ve developed in their own practice. These calls widen your perspective beyond a single teaching voice, so you can see how experienced coaches approach this work and consider what you want to bring into your own.
Office Hours give you space to bring your questions about the module content released that month. Maybe a concept didn’t quite land, or you’re wondering how it applies to a client situation you have in mind. This is your time to ask, get clarification, and leave feeling clearer about the material. Office Hours are optional, so you can join whenever you’d like extra support, with no formal teaching or skills practice to keep up with.
You can study a coaching conversation, but holding one is a different experience. At the end of your first month, you’ll be partnered with another student, and the two of you will arrange five practice sessions at times that work for you both. Each session focuses on an assigned coaching skill. You’ll each take a turn in the coach’s chair, then reflect on the experience together. All five sessions are required for certification.
To graduate, attend at least 6 of the 8 Content Teaching and Coaching Integration Calls. Office Hours are optional, and all five Peer Practice sessions are required.
Real clients rarely read like the textbook. The program covers the diagnoses, life stages and personalities women's health coaches see most, and how to coach each one within your scope.

Run a discovery call, an intake and an ongoing coaching session, each with its own job, and keep a client summary alongside your own coach notes.
Use Menstrual Cycle Awareness as a coaching framework in your sessions, from cycle-aware goals and the Monthly Map to setting boundaries by phase.
Coach behavior change with motivational interviewing, the Stages of Change and COM-B instead of relying on willpower, and work with the inner critic when it gets loud.
Recognize when something is outside a coach's role, and refer through a network you've built so she feels supported, not dismissed.
Support clients with hormonal diagnoses, through perimenopause and postpartum, and with experiences different from your own, without stepping outside your scope.
Set up the agreements, notes and boundaries a practice needs, price your first offers, and leave with a plan for your first 90 days as a coach.
