ONLINE Certified Mental Wellness Coach

I am very excited to announce “early access” to the ONLINE version of the Certified Mental Wellness Coach (CMWC).

For the NEXT TWO WEEKS ONLY (March 19-31) we are offering a very special discount for students to take the course and earn their certification before the official launch in April.

Tuition for the online CMWC is $500 – but for the next 2 weeks, “early access” will only be $300 – so we can work with a limited number of students to ensure everything works as expected.

Register here = After registering, you will receive an email with a link and code to access the class

The online CMWC is the same 16-hours of content provided in the in-person class – delivered in a SELF-PACED format and covering the Microbiome, Gut-Brain-Axis, Heart-Brain-Axis, Immune System, Mindset, Movement, Nutrition, Sleep, Metabolism, Hormone Balance, and Aging.

Watch a short video here about what the course covers.

At the conclusion of the course, students will receive their Digital Badge from Marietta College as a Certified Mental Wellness Coach – and will maintain ongoing access to the website for Continuing Education as the science of the Microbiome and Mental Wellness progresses.

We have held in-person CMWC courses around the country in Wisconsin, Charlotte, Honolulu, Orange County, Salt Lake City, and several at 3 Waves Wellness in Plymouth MA – so I am very pleased to be able to bring the online version and our training on mental wellness to more people.

Please let me know any questions – and I look forward to “seeing” you in class.

        How do us Canadians apply, there is no option for Canada when entering our billing information? 😊

      • We’re working on adding a Canada-specific option…please stay tuned!

      I would like to pay for this using my US credit card. I am a Canadian citizen and it does not offer the country Canada in the payment area. Can someone add Canada as it provides a 3% savings if we can use a US credit card. Tia

    Hi Dr Shawn,

    I am SUPER excited about this course and I have been waiting for it since you first mentioned it would go online! Thank you so much! I received a receipt after I purchased it last night… And another receipt came this morning but I haven’t received anything with the information for the course yet.

    Thanks, Julie Amestoy

    I’m so excited for this. Signed a bit ago and haven’t received my email. Maybe I’m too excited about getting started. When should we receive the email with the link?

    • Hi Sharon – so glad you’re excited – we get the unique link/code for each student from Marietta College – so as soon as we receive your registration, we send that to Marietta and they send you the link…

    Dr shawn 😃 I am super excited. I received my receipt email last night and again today, but have not received any further link as description described. Any up dates on ETA?

    And is there a work book to order or that is available ?

    Thank you so much for doing an online version.

    I am a SPED teacher at a Resident Treatment Center. Does this course have Continuing Education or Professional Development credits in addition to the Digital Badge from Marietta College as a Certified Mental Wellness Coach?

    Reply
    • Hi Laura,

      This question comes up sometimes because every single professional organization that requires periodic CEUs/CECs (continuing education units/credits) also has a totally different way to record/submit them – which makes every situation different (and confusing)! 😩 

      Any CEUs/CECs “work” for pretty much any organization that requires them – the person just needs to submit them when/how the organization wants them submitted (e.g. different forms and program descriptions for different organizations)?

      For example, I have to submit CEUs every 2 years for my nutrition license in the state of Massachusetts – there is a specific form where I have to list out the conference attended or classes completed and how many hours it was – and then sometimes they ask for a description of the content provided – and all of this is given to the students in our course in the course outline/syllabus (you could copy/paste whatever details are required on the specific form for your particular organization).

      In past classes, we have had physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, naturopaths, chiropractors, dietitians/nutritionists, personal trainers, mental health counselors, health coaches, and many more use these CEUs/CECs for their requirements – but again, they all have different forms/paperwork and requirements that are unique to each discipline.

      The actual “digital badge” is issued by Marietta College thru Credly = https://www.credly.com/org/marietta-college/badge/certified-mental-wellness-coach-cmwc

      Hope that helps?

      All best,

      Shawn

    Hello, I am learning about amare products. I haven’t joined yet. To join this course do I need to have already join amare? Will you have this discount in the future? Thank you kindly.

    Reply
    • Hi Kathi – good question – the Certification is not an ‘Amare’ program – it is run thru Marietta College (where I received my sports medicine degree) – and we cover many aspects of mental wellness including nutrition, exercise, mindset, sleep, and supplements – all of which can help support the Microbiome-Gut-Heart-Brain-Axis

    Thank you for your reply….It is not possible for me right now. Will they have a discount in the future?

    Reply
    • We might have future discounts – the “early access” discount that we have now is just to get some people using the system to make sure everything works as intended. The “regular” tuition will be $500 – which is perhaps the MOST affordable of all the “health coaching” certifications out there – and the ONLY one that is focused on Mental Wellness (and barely covers our costs for platform access, badge fees, etc). Hope you might be able to join at some point in the future…

    • Hi Bobbi – thank you for joining the online CMWC!

      You will receive access instructions from Marietta College in a day or two after registering – and the course is “self-paced” so you can start/finish it on your own schedule and convenience?

    I am super excited to take this certification, being a gut health coach and using Amare amazing products for the gut brain axis. I just wanted to confirm if this is something that we can do at our leisurely since I will be away for three weeks during April and will not be able to complete until the beginning of May?

    I would love to know how in-depth this goes for 16 hours. I’m interested, but most the programs I’ve been saving up for are tons more hours and much more money.

    Reply
    • Hi Aubrey – good question – the 16 hours is roughly the same content as you would see in a full-semester college-level course. The content of the CMWC is based on the 3-credit “Maximizing Mental Fitness” course that I taught at Marietta College and slide outline follows the chapters of my Mental Fitness book. There are approx 500 slides and 500+ pages in the workbook, including a number of “special reports” from the Global Wellness Institute.

      There are certainly lots of very expensive certifications out there for all types of “health coaches” – many costing several thousands of dollars – but my intention with this course is to provide a very solid grounding in understanding the Microbiome-Gut-Brain-Heart-Axis and its impact on Mental Wellness – and do so at an affordable price so that it is accessible to as many people as possible.

      The content is “deep enough” so students completing the course will have the tools to help themselves and help others to improve how they feel.

    I am very excited to be apart of this certification! I registered on Friday March 31 and did not receive a email with sign in and code. I did receive an email with a receipt, but no code. Is there someone to contact to get help?

    Reply
    • Hi Rachel – thanks for registering for the mental wellness coach certification – I think you will enjoy it!
      The registration instructions say, “After registering, you will receive an email with a link and code to access the class. This can take up to 2 business days” – so now that it is the weekend, I would expect you will get the access link on Monday or Tuesday from Marietta College and you can get going at your own pace.
      Hope that helps?

    I completed my registration, but never received an email with my receipt so I was afraid it didn’t go through so I registered again and the same thing happened. I just want to make sure my payment went through and only got charged once and not twice. Is there anyway to find that out?

    Thank you!!

      I can check later to make sure you are only charged once.

    How am I able to get this training for the $300 I missed while not getting the emails! I had signed up but didn’t know until I saw a friend of mine grabbed it. I’m ready to purchase the $300 course with Dr Shawn and was waiting for the email!
    I’m with Amare and want to up my street cred and learn from the best!
