You Matter inspirational quote with pampas grass, self-care, and personal transformation message from YourOwnUniversity.com.

You Know You Are Here to Help People. Now Learn How.

You may already be the person people come to for perspective, encouragement and guidance. You have lived through experiences that changed you. You have studied, grown, worked, led, or built something of your own. Now you want to turn what you know into work that helps other people move forward.

HTCC was created for people who do not fit neatly into one coaching niche.

Through the Amazing YOU Method, you will learn professional coaching foundations while developing skills across six connected areas of human development: physical health, mindset, emotional maturity, energy, relationships, and business and purpose.

Dr. Lisha Antiqua, Ph.D., is your primary teacher and guide. Her background in transpersonal psychology, trauma-informed education, holistic health and human development shapes an approach that respects both the complexity of the person in front of you and the professional boundaries of coaching.

You will also experience the Amazing YOU Method personally. Before you learn how to guide someone else through meaningful change, you will have the opportunity to examine your own patterns, choices, relationships, purpose and growth.

This is where your life experience meets professional training.

THE AMAZING YOU METHOD

One Method. Six Areas of Human Development.

A client’s life does not happen in separate compartments. Physical health influences thoughts and emotions. Relationships affect confidence and choices. Money, work and purpose often expose beliefs about worth, safety and possibility.

The Amazing YOU Method gives you a holistic framework for seeing these connections while helping clients determine what they want to change and how they want to move forward.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Habits, wellness, body awareness, stress, self-care and sustainable behavioral change.

MINDSET

Beliefs, identity, thought patterns, focus, decision-making and intentional thinking.

EMOTIONAL MATURITY

Emotional awareness, regulation, responsibility, resilience and healthy expression.

ENERGY

Energy awareness, mind-body practices, Reiki-informed concepts and holistic approaches to personal energy.

RELATIONSHIPS

Communication, boundaries, connection, intimacy and patterns within personal and professional relationships.

BUSINESS & PURPOSE

Purpose, leadership, money, visibility, meaningful work and professional growth.

You are not being trained to become six separate coaches. You are learning one integrated coaching method that helps you recognize the connections between the major areas of a client’s life without losing sight of professional scope, client autonomy or the coaching relationship.

THE HTCC EXPERIENCE

Experience It. Learn It.
Practice It. Present It.

HTCC is designed to take you beyond studying coaching concepts. You experience the work personally, learn how to coach through the Amazing YOU Method, practice your skills with real people, and develop the professional foundation to bring your work into the world.

01

EXPERIENCE IT

Spend one year inside the YOU Matter Mastermind while personally walking through the Amazing YOU Method.

Explore your own physical health, mindset, emotional maturity, energy, relationships, purpose and professional growth. Apply the tools to your own life, identify patterns and blind spots, and develop greater self-awareness as you prepare to support others.

02

LEARN IT

Learn professional coaching foundations and how to apply the Amazing YOU Method across six areas of human development.

Study coaching ethics, scope, agreements, trust and safety, active listening, effective questioning, client-led change, goal development and accountability. Expand your toolkit with approaches including hypnosis, timeline work, reparenting techniques and holistic mind-body practices, with clear instruction around appropriate coaching scope.

03

PRACTICE IT

Complete a minimum of 25 hours of coaching practice while developing your professional skills and receiving review and feedback from Dr. Lisha Antiqua.

Build the practical foundations of your coaching work, including client intake, agreements and forms, website development, marketing, positioning, and working through money and visibility blocks that often surface when it is time to be seen and paid for your work.

04

PRESENT IT

Turn what you know into a message you are prepared to share.

Through selected Empire Builder training, choose one professional authority project: develop a book OR create and present a signature speech. Organize your ideas, clarify your message and begin establishing the body of work you want to be known for.

By the time you complete HTCC, you have done more than study a coaching method. You have experienced the work, developed coaching skills, practiced with real people, built professional foundations and begun communicating your own body of work.

PROFESSIONAL COACH TRAINING

Learn How to Coach, Not Simply What to Teach

Knowing a method and knowing how to coach another person are different skills. HTCC teaches both.

You will study the Amazing YOU Method while developing the professional coaching skills needed to listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, establish clear agreements, support client-led insight and help clients turn awareness into action.

PROFESSIONAL COACHING FOUNDATIONS

  • Coaching ethics and professional responsibility
  • Scope of practice and appropriate referral
  • Coaching agreements, confidentiality and boundaries
  • Creating trust and psychological safety
  • Coaching presence and self-awareness
  • Active listening and observation
  • Effective questions that evoke awareness
  • Goal setting and client-led action
  • Accountability and sustainable change
  • Recognizing when coaching, education, consulting or referral is appropriate
  • Trauma-aware and trauma-informed coaching principles
  • Professional communication and client relationships

HOLISTIC TOOLS & CHANGE WORK

  • The six Amazing YOU Power Zones
  • Habit and behavioral-change practices
  • Mindset and belief work
  • Emotional awareness and regulation practices
  • Energy awareness and Reiki-informed principles
  • Relationship and communication tools
  • Purpose, business and visibility coaching
  • Hypnosis techniques
  • Timeline work
  • Reparenting techniques
  • Mind-body awareness practices
  • Integrating tools without taking away client choice or autonomy

TRAUMA-INFORMED EDUCATION

Because HTCC is a trauma-informed coaching certification, students receive dedicated education in understanding how trauma and chronic stress may influence behavior, emotions, relationships, beliefs and the coaching relationship.

  • Foundations of trauma-informed care
  • Fight, flight, freeze and protective responses
  • Nervous-system awareness
  • Triggers and activation
  • Emotional and relational safety
  • Choice, consent and client autonomy
  • Recognizing trauma-related patterns without diagnosing
  • Avoiding retraumatization and coercive coaching practices
  • Understanding the boundaries between coaching and trauma treatment
  • Knowing when referral to a licensed mental-health or healthcare professional is appropriate

Trauma-informed coaching means understanding what may be influencing the person in front of you while respecting the boundaries of coaching, the client’s autonomy and the role of licensed clinical care.

THE DIFFERENCE MATTERS.

HTCC does not train you to diagnose or treat mental-health conditions. You learn how to recognize the boundaries of professional coaching, work within your training, and refer a client to an appropriately licensed professional when their needs extend beyond coaching.

Professional coaching competencies are intentionally incorporated throughout HTCC. Graduates who choose to pursue credentials through outside professional organizations are responsible for meeting the organization’s current education, experience, mentoring, assessment and application requirements.

EXPERIENCE THE METHOD PERSONALLY

Before You Guide the Work,
Live the Work

HTCC includes one full year inside the YOU Matter Mastermind, giving you the space and support to personally move through the Amazing YOU Method while you learn to coach it.

The purpose is deeper than completing assignments. Your own life becomes a place to practice awareness, responsibility, choice and change.

As you move through the six Power Zones, you will examine the areas you will eventually help clients explore.

1 YEAR INCLUDED

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Your habits, wellness and relationship with your body.

MINDSET

Your beliefs, thoughts, identity and patterns of focus.

EMOTIONAL MATURITY

Your emotional patterns, responses and ability to work with what you feel.

ENERGY

Your awareness, practices and relationship with your personal energy.

RELATIONSHIPS

Your communication, boundaries, connection and recurring relationship patterns.

BUSINESS & PURPOSE

Your purpose, money, visibility, leadership and relationship with meaningful work.

WHY THIS IS PART OF YOUR TRAINING

A coach does not need a perfect life. Self-awareness matters.

Experiencing the Amazing YOU Method personally helps you recognize your own assumptions, triggers, beliefs and blind spots so they are less likely to take over the coaching relationship. You learn to distinguish your story from your client’s story and support their choices rather than steering them toward your answers.

One year of YOU Matter Mastermind is included with your HTCC certification experience.

FROM LEARNING TO PRACTICE

You Will Coach Real People
Before You Graduate

Watching lessons does not tell you what happens when a real person sits across from you.

Your practicum gives you experience applying what you have learned with real coaching clients. You will complete a minimum of 25 hours of coaching practice and receive review and feedback from Dr. Lisha Antiqua as you develop your skills.

YOUR PRACTICUM INCLUDES:

  • A minimum of 25 documented coaching hours
  • Practicing the Amazing YOU Method with real people
  • Applying professional coaching competencies
  • Developing confidence leading coaching conversations
  • Using intake forms, coaching agreements and client documentation
  • Practicing professional boundaries and scope of practice
  • Identifying situations where referral may be appropriate
  • Review of your coaching by Dr. Lisha Antiqua
  • Feedback to strengthen your coaching skills
  • Documentation of your practicum toward HTCC graduation requirements

25+ HOURS

LIVE CLIENT COACHING EXPERIENCE

BUILD THE PRACTICE AROUND YOUR COACHING

YOU CAN BEGIN BUILDING YOUR COACHING BUSINESS BEFORE GRADUATION

You do not have to wait until you graduate to begin working with your own coaching clients.

Once you reach the practicum stage and meet the program requirements to begin coaching, you may launch your own coaching business, enroll your own clients and charge for your coaching services while completing your required practicum hours.

Your clients are your clients. You establish your own coaching business, offers and pricing. Your Own University does not employ students, provide compensation for practicum hours or guarantee clients or income.

For students progressing through the program as scheduled, this means you may begin building your coaching practice within approximately six months of starting HTCC while continuing to receive training, review and support.

Your qualifying coaching sessions may also count toward your required HTCC practicum hours when properly documented and completed according to program requirements.

Your practicum is also where your education begins becoming a professional practice. You will work on your website, message, marketing, client onboarding, and the practical systems you need to begin coaching professionally.

YOUR MESSAGE MATTERS TOO

Choose A Book Or
Signature Speech

Knowing how to coach is one part of building meaningful work. You also need to understand what you want to say, who you want to help and how to communicate your ideas clearly.

As part of HTCC, you receive selected training from Dr. Lisha Antiqua’s Empire Builder program and choose one authority-building project to develop.

BOOK

Turn your experience, expertise and ideas into the foundation of a book.

  • Your central idea and reader
  • The problem your book addresses
  • Your message and point of view
  • Organizing your ideas into a clear structure
  • Developing your chapters and content
  • Connecting your book to the work you want to become known for

SIGNATURE SPEECH

Turn your experience, expertise and ideas into a presentation you are prepared to deliver.

  • Your audience and central message
  • The problem your speech addresses
  • Your story and teaching points
  • Structuring a compelling presentation
  • Developing your speaking content
  • Connecting your speech to the work you want to become known for

YOU CHOOSE ONE.

Your goal is not to leave HTCC with another idea sitting in a notebook. Your book or signature speech gives you a concrete way to organize what you know, communicate your perspective and begin sharing your work beyond individual coaching sessions.

ONE INTEGRATED TRAINING

What Would It Take to Build This Education Separately?

You could study each area independently. You could find one program for health coaching, another for mindset, another for relationships, another for energy work, and then search for additional training in hypnosis, business, professional practice and developing your message.

HTCC brings those areas together through one methodology, one professional training pathway and one integrated certification experience.

COMPARABLE EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT VALUE SHOWN ABOVE:

The comparison is not meant to suggest these outside programs are identical to HTCC or that HTCC awards separate certifications in each specialty. It shows the approximate cost of pursuing comparable education across these areas independently.

HTCC brings the education together through the Amazing YOU Method so you learn how the areas connect rather than trying to assemble your coaching approach from unrelated programs.

Market comparisons are approximate and based on publicly available professional training prices. Outside programs, credentials, curriculum and tuition vary.

HTCC is a significant professional and personal commitment. The next step is to review the program requirements, common questions and application process before enrolling.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU APPLY?

HTCC Frequently Asked Questions

HTCC is a significant educational, professional and personal commitment. Here are answers to some of the questions prospective students ask before applying.

HOW LONG DOES HTCC TAKE?

HTCC is designed as approximately a one-year certification experience. Your exact pace may vary depending on your progress through the curriculum, personal work, practicum and graduation requirements.

DO I NEED PREVIOUS COACHING EXPERIENCE?

No. HTCC teaches professional coaching foundations along with the Amazing YOU Method, trauma-informed education and holistic coaching tools. Students are expected to practice, receive feedback and complete the required practicum before certification.

IS HTCC THERAPY TRAINING OR A MENTAL-HEALTH LICENSE?

No. HTCC is an educational coaching certification. It does not train students to diagnose or treat mental-health conditions, provide psychotherapy, or practice outside applicable professional laws or licensing requirements.

Students learn to recognize the boundaries between coaching, education and clinical treatment and to refer clients to appropriately licensed professionals when necessary.

WHAT DOES “TRAUMA-INFORMED” MEAN IN THIS PROGRAM?

Students learn foundations of trauma-informed care, nervous-system and protective-response awareness, triggers and activation, emotional and relational safety, client choice and consent, professional boundaries, avoiding coercive or retraumatizing coaching practices, and recognizing when referral is appropriate.

The goal is not to turn coaches into therapists. It is to help coaches work with greater awareness, responsibility and respect for client autonomy.

WILL I WORK WITH REAL CLIENTS?

Yes. HTCC requires a minimum of 25 documented practicum coaching hours.

Students work with real coaching clients and receive coaching review and feedback as part of the certification process.

CAN I CHARGE CLIENTS WHILE I AM STILL IN TRAINING?

Once you reach the appropriate practicum stage and meet program requirements, you may begin building your own coaching practice, enrolling your own clients and charging for your coaching services.

Qualifying paid coaching sessions may count toward your required practicum hours when properly documented and when they meet program requirements.

Your Own University does not employ students, provide practicum clients, compensate students or guarantee clients or income.

HOW SOON CAN I BEGIN MY PRACTICUM AND BUSINESS?

Students progressing according to the program schedule may be able to begin the practicum and business-building stage within approximately six months.

Individual timing varies based on completion of the required foundational work and readiness for practicum.

DO I HAVE TO WRITE A BOOK AND BECOME A SPEAKER?

No. You choose ONE authority-building pathway.

You will develop either a book OR a signature speech through selected Empire Builder training.

WHAT IS THE INVESTMENT?

HTCC tuition is $10,000 paid in full or 12 payments of $997.

The 12-payment option is a payment plan for the full certification program, not a month-to-month membership.

CAN I JUST ENROLL, OR DO I HAVE TO APPLY?

HTCC is application-only.

The application helps determine whether the program, expectations and professional scope are appropriate for you before enrollment is offered.

DOES HTCC GUARANTEE THAT I WILL BUILD A SUCCESSFUL COACHING BUSINESS?

No. HTCC provides education, coaching practice, feedback, business foundations and professional-development tools.

Individual business results depend on many factors, including continued learning, ethical practice, experience, visibility, marketing, enrollment skills, effort and consistency.

WILL HTCC QUALIFY ME FOR AN OUTSIDE PROFESSIONAL COACHING CREDENTIAL?

HTCC incorporates professional coaching competencies that may support students interested in pursuing additional credentials.

Outside credentialing organizations establish and change their own education, experience, mentoring, assessment and application requirements. Students seeking an outside credential are responsible for reviewing and meeting the current requirements of that organization.

To know yourself is the ultimate gift you can offer the world.

That is what Y.O.U. is here to help you do.
