About

We are a group of mental health professionals and master life coaches got together in 2019 and formed the American Life Coaches Association.  We differ from International Coaching Federation in that we are focused on the wave of mental health regulations that can affect the profession of Life Coaching, and make sure we meet the standard of excellence that will be required if and when Life Coaching becomes regulated.  We are a US company, located in three states, and are looking to have affiliates in all the states in order to watch the mandates that are required for professional coaching. 

We follow similar core competencies of ICF, however, we look at a coaching session having different components.  Such as where there is a speciality, like health coaching, wellness coaching, birthing coaching, executive coaching, etc., we realize that people are seeking out these different coaches to also get best practices, therefore we instituted a dynamic where there is a section of the coaching session that is built upon best practices based on the exepertise of the coach.  We also ask for all coaches to have orientation in the first session and we will have specific outlines of how to do that.  Lastly the bulk of the coaching session will have core competencies similar to ICF.
