The Freedom Model Coaching Certification Program
Become certified in the most successful and proven addiction-help coaching model in the world!
If you’re a coach, therapist, or wellness professional, you know how frustrating it can be to help clients with addiction—especially when the tools available feel outdated, ineffective, or even harmful. That’s exactly why we created the Freedom Model Coaching Certification Program—a revolutionary opportunity to position yourself at the forefront of a global shift in how we address substance use and behavioral struggles.
With this certification, you’ll gain the tools, training, and credibility to deliver real, lasting change—without rehab, without endless 12-step meetings, and without shaming or labeling your clients.

Whether you’re an experienced coach, psychologist, or wellness expert, the Freedom Model Coaching Certification will help you elevate your impact, grow your services, and provide something most coaching programs can’t: a permanent, empowering solution to addiction.

When you’re trained in The Freedom Model, you’re offering your clients a proven solution to one of the most urgent issues people face today. You will have stronger marketing, more clients, more revenue , and a greater overall impact.
