Family Practice Practitioner Certification Course

Learning to coach families is different than providing analysis or teaching someone about their design. Family Practice coaching requires skills of observation, identification of the issues, and understanding of the mechanics; and then guiding the family members to observe, experiment, and share in an active process of self-discovery.

This six-week certification course, for the Family Practice Practitioner, will provide you with the fundamentals of Family Practice coaching. During this course you will learn how to develop coaching plans for experiential discovery, using BodyGraphs of family members, along with the family PentaGraph.

This is an IHDS Certification course, and there will be a final exam. Satisfactory completion of the final exam is required for Certification. The final exam will be based upon a sample family unit and their charts. You may use the same sample family unit in the course, and for your final exam. All elements of the Final Exam will be taught, reviewed and coached throughout the course.
