tWe are delighted to be offering a 2-year Training to become a ´Gupta Program Coach´, and it is more than just a training. You start on a personal journey that deepens your understanding in healing yourself and assist others in their healing. An important part is self-experience and bonding with your fellow Trainees. The training will unfold the core of the issues that are important in healing; first in your own life and then in working with others.  Following the Gupta Program ourselves made us deeply aware of what is needed for people with chronic illnesses. We made the Training flexible so you can design your own tempo to follow most of the parts of the Training, determined by your background and capacity to learn.

Thanks to Ashok and our team of Coaches the ´Gupta Programme´ has renewed itself and it is a joy to my professional life to be in this Gupta family team: 10 years as a coach and half of it as the designer of the Training, as Teacher and as Supervisor. Frances and I were dedicated to design this Training and in September we will start the third group.  If you are interested to join the 3 levels Training you can have a 20 minute chat with Frances or myself to pose questions and together we look if this Training fits into your life.” You can contact Frances or myself for this 20 minute chat at fjvdvijver@gmail.com or frances@theintegraltherapist.co.uk
