Why Should You Get Your ICF Credential?
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
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.

The Intersection of Psychedelics and Coaching (ft. Elizabeth J. O.)
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
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.

The Power of The Stories We Tell ft. Deanna Moffitt
Friday Apr 05, 2024
Friday Apr 05, 2024
Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, and Deanna Moffitt, ACC, an ICF credentialed coach and Lumia instructor, delve into the impact of storytelling and questioning on personal growth.
This conversation explores the intricacies of personal development but also highlights the transformative nature of coaching. Listen in as Noelle and Deanna discuss Deanna’s book The Rewrite – and dive into some of our deepest human insecurities, and what we can do about them.
Deanna Moffitt, ACC, has worked as an independent consultant and entrepreneur for the past 19 years. Before that, she was a Senior IT Project Manager for a Fortune 1000 company and worked with the company’s strategic acquisitions team. She is a senior instructor at Lumia and is ICF certified at the ACC level. She’s delivered over 3,000 workshops both virtually and in person and has worked with companies and organizations throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Deanna has always been passionate about why humans act the way they act. Growing up in a chaotic household, she knew she didn’t want the same experience for her adult self. Learning how to recognize and break the chain of generational trauma, limiting thoughts and beliefs, and exploring the power of questions instead of focusing on the “right” answer shifted everything for her. The Rewrite is an extension of her desire to help people reconnect with their ability to create their internal world and in doing so the external world rises up to meet that new self.
