What is Meditation Coach Certification?
It is a personal online mentorship with Greg de Vries (Living Well USA, LLC), open to students anywhere in the US. Apply on this page.
Who is it for?
People who already work with others, or who have a practice they want to share, and want personal feedback from Greg before they teach. Yoga teachers, coaches, healthcare workers, and long-time practitioners are typical applicants.
How do I enroll?
Enroll and pay tuition on the secure checkout from the homepage (Enroll and pay tuition). The next cohort begins Wednesday, January 13, 2027. Use the questions form on the homepage if you want to talk with Greg first.
How much does it cost?
The live price is $997. Veterans and first responders receive a 25% discount if they mention their service when they enroll.
What is the refund policy?
For the founders class that begins Wednesday, January 13, 2027, here is how refunds work. We want you to enroll with confidence.
- Before the January 13, 2027 start: you get a full refund, no questions asked.
- During the first 14 days after the start: you get a full refund if you have attended no more than two sessions.
- After the first 14 days: refunds are no longer available, but you can move to a later cohort once, at no cost.
How big is each cohort?
Greg keeps the group small so mentorship stays personal. The next cohort begins Wednesday, January 13, 2027.
Is this a government license?
No. This is a personal certificate of completion from Greg de Vries. It is not a government license, not a state teaching credential, and not an accredited college or continuing-education credit.
What is the Certified Meditation Coach badge?
Teachers can already apply for a free listing on MeditationCoach.com. The Certified Meditation Coach badge, personalized Certificate of Completion, and Certified Coach listing are for people who complete all of the homework and pass their final guided meditation. That is how you go from teacher to coach.
How long does the certification take?
The course runs 12 weeks: 10 lessons plus two built-in catch-up weeks, after Lesson 2 and after Lesson 4. Life happens, so if you take a vacation, get sick, or fall behind, you can finish anytime within 16 weeks and still earn your certification. You work through the lessons and homework when it fits your life.
What happens in the weekly Google Meet?
Every Wednesday at 7:05 PM PT we meet on Google Meet. It is optional. Come to check in, ask questions, and practice guiding our small group. Certification does not depend on attendance.
How do I earn my certificate?
Two steps. First, complete all of the homework. Second, present your final guided meditation on Zoom to Greg de Vries or to the group, and Greg approves it. It works like a college final.
What if my final guided meditation is not approved?
That is okay, and it happens. If Greg de Vries does not approve your final guided meditation, you get two free resubmissions, each with his personal feedback, so you know exactly what to work on.
When does the next cohort begin?
The next cohort begins Wednesday, January 13, 2027. Everyone starts together, then works at their own pace. Enroll on the homepage. After you enroll, you will get the details for the weekly Google Meet.
