ICF L1 NatureProcess Coach Training
Coaching is changing. The NatureProcess Coach Training is designed for those who believe coaching must evolve beyond the purely human-centred model, and into a practice rooted in real relationship with Earth.
This programme offers a professional, research-grounded pathway into a nature-centred coaching methodology. It sits within a wider EarthConnected coaching philosophy that recognises our relationship with Earth as core to how we live, lead and create change.
What makes this training distinct is that:
-
Earth is recognised as a primary stakeholder in our governance
-
A portion of every training investment supports land-based restoration
-
The methodology is evidence-based, informed by and contributing to published research on Earth connection, which is now fully integrated into the training
-
The learning environment is intentionally neuro-inclusive
-
The training meets ICF professional coaching standards and holds ethical practice at its core

Beyond Certification: Build a Thriving Coaching Practice
Becoming a Certified NatureProcess Coach is not just about gaining a qualification — it’s about developing the foundations to thrive as a coach in a way that aligns with who you are.
Most coaching trainings end at certification.
We’re changing that.
Previous graduates told us they needed more support after certification — so we listened and evolved the pathway.
We don’t simply train coaches.
We equip coaches to grow into their practice.
Your journey doesn’t end at graduation — it continues with structured support to help you gain your 100 coaching hours and ICF ACC accreditation through the NatureProcess Coaching Exchange. You’ll also receive guidance to establish a sustainable coaching practice, including access to a business-building programme run by our trusted business coach partner, Moe Choice.
You will learn the same core sales and marketing practices we use to grow the NatureProcess Coach Training — adapted to support you in building a meaningful and successful coaching practice of your own, in a way that feels aligned, ethical and true to your values.
For a small number of graduates who continue to deepen in this work, there is an invite-only pathway to grow with EarthSelf beyond certification. This includes opportunities to develop experience, contribute to emerging programmes and research, and, where aligned, collaborate in shaping the future of this work.
Why this approach?
Unlike traditional nature-based coaching, the NatureProcess is a coaching methodology that works in any environment.
- Coaching outdoors is a privilege – Not all clients can safely access nature, and coaching with nature should be available to all.
- Nature is intelligence, not location – This training ensures you can coach with the NatureProcess in any setting—virtual or in-person.
- Master coaching first, then apply the NatureProcess – This training develops professional coaching mastery, ensuring you work with the NatureProcess rather than depend on nature as a setting.
What Our Graduates Say About the NatureProcess Coach Training
“The NatureProcess coach training is aligned with the rigorous ICF coaching standards and also includes a wider exposure to how coaching sits in the world, in nature. That makes this programme unique and alive.”
“After years of searching for my authentic way of being of service, the ICF L1 NatureProcess Coach training became the gateway I’d been looking for.”
“I appreciated that the training covered both practising and deepening the NatureProcess as well as coaching skills, including setting up and running a coaching business. I enjoyed the academic aspect with the research base and how it was woven into the training.”
Graduates consistently share that this training not only deepened their connection with Earth, but fundamentally changed how they coach and how they show up in the world.
Who is this for?
