It Is More Than Just Training...

Ashok Gupta

Clinic Director

Being a coach is a great way of learning more about yourself and consolidating your own journey, as well as a rewarding way of giving back! It is a rich journey of self-fulfilment.

We are delighted to be offering a 2-year Training to become a ´Gupta Program Coach´, and there is a real demand from our clients for more coaches at the moment, with many Coaches having waiting lists. This course 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.

 

Testimonials From Gupta Program Training Attendees

What I loved most about training as a Gupta Coach was my journey of Self-Discovery, meeting the places inside me that needed awareness and healing. Growing into an authentic person, who learnt her self worth and how to set firm boundaries and how to have a voice too. It was also lovely to make connections with those training alongside me, people I respect and feel such a connection with as we explored the topics and what they triggered inside us, learning how to face challenges together and navigate through relationships, secure and lasting friendships build on mutual trust and respect. It was such a period of growth I will never forget it. The bonus, I am now able to meet my clients in my authentic self, and support each one with their own journey towards self discovery knowing that I am able to guide them because I allowed myself to go there first. I am able to work in a vocation which fulfils my purpose and passion. The training changed me, and I will be forever grateful for that.
 
Best Wishes and Kind Regards, Julie

What an amazing process it was completing the learning, reflections and bearing witness to all my growth, healing, and expansion.

Your Supervisors

Caroline

Caroline van Lankveld

Languages: Dutch and English

Guiding people to live more consciously, more friendly and to be more free: that is the passion of Caroline. By supporting clients to bring body, head and heart more into balance. In 2016 she started her practice for coaching, body-oriented psychotherapy and traumawork. She is also a mindfulness- and compassion trainer. In the Gupta Program she guides retrainers in their recovery and supports GP coaches in training by giving personal sessions and supervision.

Life itself has been providing her a learning journey. Caroline had several burnouts, diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) and cancer. In her recovery process she learned how to use her high sensitivity and focus on her body as a key to healing. As a result she was able to allow more strength, vibrancy and joy into her life.

In her approach she works with body and mind, creating space for relaxation, insight, vitality, focus and personal strength. She treats a variety of complaints and requests for help, including guidance with stress management and burnout, dealing with chronic illness, anxiety and depression, insecurity, mourning and loss, high sensitivity, personal development and career guidance.

Her strengths are the ability to create the right atmosphere of trust, kindness, acceptance and respect and the ability to get to the core of your issues easily. This will take you to a deeper and broader understanding of yourself, your life, your strength, your relationships. Clients call her involved, warm, curious, calm, firm and sharp in her perception.

In addition to insightful conversations, she uses proven methods such as body-oriented work, traumawork (Somatic Experiencing, rescripting), mindfulness and meditation, (self) compassion, Compassion Focused Therapy, relaxation techniques, positive psychology, breath work, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), visualizations, systemic work (family constellations), gestalt and yoga.

The tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh is a big inspiration for her. She is also touched by the work of A.H. Almaas, of whom she is she student since 2005. Furthermore she practices kundalini yoga daily, which encourages her to fully live from her heart. She lives in the Netherlands next to the forest with her husband. They have three teenage children and a lovely dog.

Caroline supports clients over Zoom or Skype.
