A message from our Founder
In this short video, Mark Shields explores how Transformational Life Coaching goes beyond traditional coaching by working at the deepest level of beliefs, mindset, and identity. Rather than focusing solely on goals or performance, this approach enables people to break through limiting patterns and realign with their true purpose — creating genuine, lasting change.
If you’re curious about how coaching can deliver profound and sustainable results, this is a must-watch.

"Just completed level 6 course in Transformational Coaching.. I don't have the words to compliment the life practice team, just a phenomenal experience! I wished I had done it earlier. As a GP I feel that there is so much missing for our patients' health; this is where we can learn the tools we need to take it to the next level - or escape the clutches of a stressful job. Why would I choose Life Practice again? 1. Very high quality of course material and delivery. 2. Excellent content. 3. All the tutors are very supportive and compassionate - it will rub off on you. 4. How do you start your own transformational coaching business? Mark knows, after all he was a director of Barclays Bank , and he throws in a free course bundle at the end to show you how to start a business - "Doctor Sarfraz Shaheed - GP

"I chose the transformational level 6 diploma Gold. Its just phenomenal!! Everything you need to know is there. I so regret not doing this earlier! Let me explain why! First of all: you get everything about nlp, hypnosis, life coaching, EFT, business and much more. I loved my 1-1 tutor support with the incredible trainer Mr Mark Shields and you get 3 days face to face training if you choose the GOLD package.. The knowledge you get is just fascinating. The amount of information, knowledge and training in this course is incredible. But I must say the face to face training took my experience to a whole new level!! It was the best 3 days" training I’ve ever had!! What can I say: incredible trainers, big Thanks to Mark, Karen and Bobby Jo for the amazing training we had. Not only you get the content, but you get to practice too and try your scripts ( they are so patient, so helpful and so kind). I did not only come out of it feeling great, confident but I felt transformed myself! It was sensational. Because of this I utilised the mentoring and supervision offered post course. I would say if you want great content, a high level of accreditation and mastery level qualifications, this level 6 is for you! So thank you so much Cam coach 🙏 I’m forever grateful
