Forgiveness Coaching Program

The Forgiveness Coaching Program is a rigorous advanced program which offers a profound, embodied understanding of forgiveness and how to guide others in forgiveness work. The training is designed for those who wish to teach forgiveness, become forgiveness coaches and/or integrate forgiveness into other work they are doing.  Participants have included lawyers, mediators, therapists, ombudsmen, peacemakers, activists, nurses and educators.

The program is based on a research-based step-by-step forgiveness process.  Students will gain a deeper, embodied understanding of forgiveness and nuances likely to be encountered, as well as practical tools, and opportunities for practice.

This program provides an in-depth exploration of forgiveness and the nuances of guiding others through the process as well as demonstration and opportunities for practice. There will be recommended reading and homework in between sessions.

Students are expected to continue their own forgiveness work and healing on an ongoing basis, and will be provided with opportunities to do so, as this creates the foundation for working with others.

Class sizes are small and final scheduling of dates/times will take into account the scheduling preferences of those who enroll early!


Forgiveness has literally changed my life! The first time I met Eileen, something in me knew this was going to be the next step in my personal life and career. So much has shifted since then. My perspective on life itself has gone from negative to positive. There is nothing holding me back any longer.

Eileen’s coaching program is very rich and very valuable. I have learned a great deal not only about forgiveness and  coaching, but also about connection to my core self and emotions. It has been a wonderful journey and, thank goodness, this is just the start of something new.

I  thank Eileen from the bottom of my heart for her coaching and her wonderful and extraordinary work.
