ARCS Healing Journey

Why ARCS?

The ARCS Healing Journey is unlike any other Life Coaching Certification Program for twopredominant reasons.

Firstly, we believe that the foremost quality someone needs to be qualified to help others heal, grow and change is that they have actually “walked through” that personal process, themselves.

Let’s face it… most of us have known at least one therapist who has a PhD on their wall, but hasnever been to therapy and greatly needs it! Those of us who feel called to help others have usually endured some moments of profound emotional pain, and we receive the gifts of attuned sensitivity and increased empathy that emerge from our challenges making us uniquely skilled to guide others with compassion — once we have transcended our own struggles.

ARCS is looking for people who have these “gifts that we cannot teach” like a desire to enhance your personal awareness, an interest in healing and psychology, and a natural inclination toward caring about the suffering of others. Then, we can teach you everything else you’ll need to transform not only your life — but also the lives of those around you and of the many seeking help.

Secondly, ARCS actually follows up our Life Coaching Certification process by offering you a workfrom-home channel to build your professional coaching practice.

Other life coaching certification programs — and, for that matter, even university degree programs in the counseling disciplines — bid you a cheery farewell, after graduation: “Congratulations, and good luck building your practice!” But at ARCS, we actually “stick around” to show you how to build your coaching practice! We provide you with a professional profile and coaching dashboard on our fully automated and customized online platform, which allows you to leverage all the benefits of our online website traffic, our registration pages and our enrollment system. We license you with authorization to provide your coaching services to our enrolled students and to offer our proprietary materials and certifications to your prospective clients. We provide you with professional mentorship, live professional development classes, online professional development learning modules, various marketing streams, and administrative services including dedicated ARCS Support and insta-pay for your services.

Some graduated Coaches prefer to volunteer or to keep their coaching part-time, while many others have established their practices to the level of making well over $100,000 per year — and all while keeping the bar of entry affordable to all who are seeking restoration and well-being.

The ARCS model always strives for “win-win” (Clients-Coaches) situations, in all that we develop. So our program model does not endeavor to make “a lot from the few” — rather, we and our Coaches are dedicated to forging a purposeful career and making a good living from offering a lot for very little, to as many people who need it.

The ARCS Mission is committed to providing a pathway for both emotional and economic empowerment, to all who seek it. Our core values, our ethical code and our commitment to social justice mean that do not ascribe to any idea that emotional wellness and coaching certification should exclude individuals who live below the poverty line — particularly because we are well aware that women still endure making less than their male counterparts and many domestic abuse survivors live below the poverty line, precisely because their abusers will thwart any effort toward financial autonomy.

ARCS Healing Journey Videos

ARCS Students can venture through our online videos at their own pace — there is no pressure to embark upon the videos immediately, as some students prefer to enjoy their classes for a while before they feel ready to start their coursework. The only limit on video lesson progression is that you cannot complete more than one module per any seven day period, and this stipulation is actually set by the Certification Board to ensure that you travel through your personal empowerment and coach training thoroughly. ARCS video workbook lessons are progressively emotional in nature. It’s almost as if you start out “in the shallow end of the pool” and become equipped with emotional skills that are the equivalent of Your “floaties”, your “snorkel” and your “flippers” — by the time you’re swimming in deeper waters, you hardly notice because you are so well prepared! Essentially, the CARC Certification Program is not something that you merely study — it’s something that you live. You will progress through lessons at your own pace, and the benefits of this program will positively impact your self-esteem, your empowerment level and your relationships for the rest of your life.
