  • Is professional coaching a scam? Recent articles in major publications like The New York Times and ProPublica have cast a critical eye on the life coaching industry, highlighting serious concerns about unethical practices and questionable training programs.

    Lumia is a leader in the coaching industry and we believe it's important to address these issues head-on.

    Noelle Cordeaux, PCC, CEO of Lumia Coaching, and Chris Clark, PCC, COO and instructor at Lumia, recently sat down on the Everything Life Coaching podcast to discuss these articles, the state of the coaching industry at large, how to identify reputable training programs, and the transformative impact coaching can have when practiced ethically.

  • At this time, the coaching industry is experiencing significant growth. The wellness economy is projected to surge from $5.6 trillion to $8.5 trillion by 2027. The rise in popularity of coaching has been heightened by global events like the pandemic, which sparked a collective realization about the importance of purpose and meaning in our lives.

    For those interested in enhancing their coaching mastery and credibility in the field, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) has designed a progressive system of credentials - moving from Associate Certified Coach (ACC) to Professional Certified Coach (PCC) to Master Certified Coach (MCC). This system is intentionally staircased from one level to the next based on the total number of client coaching hours that a coach has performed because coaching is a craft that requires practice to perfect.

    In this expanding market, an ICF credential serves as a way to enhance and legitimize your coaching skills. Not only that, with only 50,000 ICF credentialed coaches worldwide, this globally recognized independent seal of approval helps you stand out in an industry that is still largely unregulated, giving clients and employers confidence in your capabilities.

  • Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, recently sat down with Lumia alumni Elizabeth J. O. to explore an emerging frontier in coaching: the integration of psychedelic experiences. Elizabeth J. O. co-founded Altered States Integration, a practice dedicated to guiding individuals through their psychedelic journeys, ethically and responsibly.

    Psychedelics have long been associated with profound personal transformations, and Elizabeth emphasizes that the true potential of these experiences lies not just in the moments of revelation but in the subsequent integration process.

    Coaches can make a big impact on clients before, during, and after these experiences – but there are many elements and ethical questions to consider before diving into a psychedelic integration coaching practice.

    Elizabeth J.O. is a dynamic Holistic Dietitian Nutritionist and Change Coach with 15 years of clinical experience. A graduate of Bastyr University, Elizabeth has immersed herself in the study of human behavior, psychology, coaching, yoga, flow states, herbal science, and mindfulness-based therapies. She is the author of "Breaking Emotional Addiction: Neurohacking BPD with Ibogaine," which chronicles her personal healing journey. Elizabeth co-founded Altered States Integration to make compassionate support for processing non-ordinary states of consciousness more accessible through online support groups and individual coaching. She is growing the next wave of psychedelic leaders through the workshop "Start-2-Finish DIY Psychedelic Integration Circle," where she teaches others to create ethical peer support groups.

    As Co-Director of the Psychedelic Society of Texas, Elizabeth is building a conscientious psychedelic community through education, integration, and harm reduction. She also volunteers at festivals providing psychedelic first aid with N.E.S.T, Zendo Project, Harmonia, and other sanctuary spaces, reflecting her passion for destigmatizing challenging psychological and emotional states, whether they arise from substances or circumstances. Her current passion is to integrate Medical Nutrition Therapy with psychedelic treatment for addiction recovery, emotional eating, and other mental health struggles.
