Empowerment Coaching is not just about helping people reach goals or create surface-level changes. It’s about guiding individuals to discover their inner power—the force that comes from truly knowing and accepting themselves, from working through the emotional, mental, and energetic blocks that keep them small, scared, or disempowered in any area of their life.

What is Empowerment Coaching?


"Empowerment Coaching" was founded in 2002 by best-selling author Crystal Andrus Morissette, and the S.W.A.T. Institute was the original "Empowerment Coach Certification" in the world premiering in 2009. 

Empowerment Coaching is about helping individuals unlock their full potential by working through emotional blocks, reclaiming their power of choice, and guiding them to live authentically and with purpose. It fosters self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and strategic decision-making, while emphasizing personal responsibility and conscious communication. The process is deeply transformational, helping clients align their lives with their highest values and truest selves.

For women, Empowerment Coaching can be especially powerful, offering a pathway to overcome societal conditioning, reclaim their voice, and stand fully in their truth and power.

 

Here are just some of the benefits of becoming an Empowerment Coach certified by the S.W.A.T. Institute:

  • Enjoy the freedom to live and work anywhere you wish. As long as you have a laptop and internet, you're good to go.
  • Accelerate your personal and professional development. After all, your clients are on a fast track which pushes you, so you end up becoming more and more empowered with each new client.
  • Make a good living. Private practice averages $150 an hour in empowerment coaching fees, with the range being between $100 to $300 per hour. 
  • Proximity is Power - Our Empowerment Coaches join an international sisterhood of support and collaboration. We're in over 45 countries. Plus our founder is constantly connecting our coaches to worldwide "movers and shakers."
  • Learn at your own pace. You can complete the Personal Empowerment Coach Certification (PECC) in less than one year or take up to three years to become a Master Empowerment Coach Certified (MECC) by the S.W.A.T. Institute – it's entirely up to you.
  • Make a difference in the lives of others. Our Mentorship Empowerment Coaches share profound rewards after completing their coaching calls. When you love what you do, it makes work your passion rather than just a job.

  • I understand my Mentorship Coach is still in training, and she must complete a minimum of 3 (three) and up to 6 (six) Mentorship Coaching Calls with me.

  • I can request a new coach if I don't connect well with my coach. However, I know that I am expected to complete a short written review of the call.

  • I can request additional Mentorship Empowerment Coaching at no charge via the S.W.A.T. Institute.

  • If I connect with my Mentor Coach, I can choose to carry on with her once she graduates for an additional fee — as per her agreement. However, this is not expected or suggested. There are no hidden fees or upsells. This is a true win-win.

Timing is everything

A year ago, I was sitting on the couch next to my husband, angry, frustrated, in pain, and exhausted. I was awake for almost 72 hours post-surgery. My Inner Victim had showed up in full swing, feeling so done with all events surrounding my life.

The magic of this is if my victim wasn't so done, if I wasn't so bored and needing a distraction from pain, if I didn't lose my job before this surgery, I might not have found Crystal. All the stars were aligning for me to reach my breaking point. I had to stop being comfortable in my misery to find my way.

Rewind to a few months prior, I had a spiritual awakening that my time of feeling completely disconnected and unhappy was up. I had an experience I still cannot put into words accurately but the mysticism of it is the sentence I remember so clearly. Thank you, Crystal, for our class this week. It brought back this memory for me!

It's time for you to be free.

Free from what? How? When? I don't know how to be any other way. What does this mean?

These were just some of the thoughts I had for another six months. I was desperately searching, doing, trying, not succeeding. Nothing was changing; I felt far from free I felt more stuck than ever. I was clinging on so tight in desperation for change that it blinded me from understanding and realizing that the timing was coming to me. That I had to be patient. A place of home was on its way.

The moment I found "Chat with Crystal" (the podcast), it started to click. Listening to call after call, I could feel my walls weakening. I understand all of this, I thought. I resonate with this work. This is what I need, what I have been searching for these past six months. THIS IS IT! This was my path to awaken my soul. Little did I know how much my life was about to change.

Now, this is where it's important to note. My life on the outside has not changed. Not in the ways I desire, not yet. It's not the time yet. But what did change is ME! The wholeness of who I am, my beauty that resides within, no longer hanging onto the beauty from the outside. My light has been seen, recognized, and validated. 

After my own "Chat with Crystal" conversation, I felt it in my whole being that I found the one that had the tools and capability to wake me up, to nudge me closer to who I needed to become. I had to remove my mask, one dialogue at a time. One archetype/shadow at a time. Loving every story, every part, every moment. My flaws and pain became less scary. Instead, they became celebrated when shared. I had to be safe to uncover my pain, my truth; I had to allow myself to be the most vulnerable I had ever been.

That was step one; step two was that I had to not only have the courage but the willingness to look deeper, to forgive bigger, and to love clearer. I had to accept all the moments that led me here. That was when I was able to look at myself in the mirror and welcome myself back.

I stared into my beautiful blue eyes and saw my soul clearer. "Welcome back," I said aloud, "you've been missed." And that is when my life began to feel less dark.

My outside circumstances did not change; the ones I love have not changed, and my scars did not disappear, but I changed. I feel and trust my life events and let all new situations wash in and out like the ocean and its waves. Hard times come and go, and so do happy times. It's the in-between, the standstill, that I found my gold!

So let me introduce to you my Real Self . . .

I am a woman who loves deeply and purely. I am my happiest when I follow my heart, the calmest when I am alone with my wholeness, and I light up the brightest when I help others. I am incredibly patient and have an awareness of timing that has served me along the way. I am devoted, merciful, and trustworthy. I am dynamic, courageous, powerful, persistent, and skilled. I am so much more than meets the eye and that makes me exactly who I am meant to be. I AM ALL OF ME!
