Next Session Begins September 27, 2025! Register at link above to watch a Discovery Session.
To say we live in challenging times is an understatement. We need novel solutions to address the unique crises of our times.
Built on 50 years of research by Dr. C. Robert Cloninger and other members of the Anthropedia Institute, Anthropedia offers an evidence-based approach to health and wellness coaching for the 21st century.
With an interdisciplinary curriculum drawing on nutrition, naturopathy, neuroscience, art & culture, psychology, coaching, and many other subjects our training helps you understand the whole person and the deep interactions and interconnections of the being.
When we say integrative, it isn’t just lip-service. We focus as much on mental health and wellness as we do on more typical coaching approaches focused on diet and exercise. We explore the rational as much as the sensitive, the scientific and the spiritual, the personal and the professional.
This approach is as rigorous as it is satisfying, and our goal is to challenge you without defeating you.
If you are interested in real growth, and you aren’t satisfied with simply getting a quick certification, come experience MORE with us.
We regularly offer our virtual Discovery Session to talk about the unique work at Anthropedia, discuss our training, and answer any questions someone considering our training may have.
Learn about Anthropedia's unique approach to health and wellness promotion. It's easy to talk about integrative approaches to wellness, but few programs really address the whole person.

"The tools that I learned in the training have been invaluable to me. I've learned better communication skills. I have learned the importance of having balance in body, thought and soul, and most importantly I have learned how to model better practices for my children who are always watching."
Stephanie Stewart, NBC-HWC
"It is sustainable change. I’ve been to retreats, and maybe you notice a difference for 6 weeks, and then you’re back to the same patterns of behavior. With Anthropedia, it’s a sustainable change in your life. And that is pretty amazing.”
Cindy Wills, Former School Principal & Health and Wellness Coach
"In my opinion, the well-being coach training is invaluable for all managers, employees and HR-professionals working in today’s fast-moving, complex organizations. The well-being coach training has given me so much: better understanding of myself, increased ability to handle stressors, improved communication and relationship-building skills and overall a more harmonious approach to life."
Jonas Kullberg, HR Director

A recent study of more than 200 of our coach trainees showed our student’s well-being improved over the course of the training.
Anthropedia’s Well-Being Training and Coaching have been designed to develop a person’s character: self-directedness, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence. Growth in these character dimensions has been shown to increase one’s resilience and overall well-being, as well as improve physical and mental health. (Cloninger, Svrakic et al. 1997, Cloninger 2004, Sohar et al. 2010, Cloninger and Zohar 2011).
A recent study of 137 of our coach trainees demonstrated that there were substantial gains in character development as measured by the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). This included statistically significant (p<.01) improvement in mean character trait scores before and after the training. Our training improves the following character traits:
This training is for anyone who wants to learn the art of coaching, helps others, or help themselves.
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
You don’t have to want to be a coach to participate in our training.
Those seeking greater meaning and purpose in their current occupation.
Those who are seeking to expand their skills in helping people self-actualize
Our instructors have more to offer than their knowledge or skills, they have a lived understanding of health and well-being.
