Create Income. Position Yourself for Success.
Learn to lead dynamic and profitable retreats.

Hi I’m Helene Van Manen, Founder and Director of www.RetreatCoaches.com Due to Covid-19 our in-person trainings, programs and retreats will not be in person until it is safe to resume gathering. We are following recommendations from the experts in science and will be making a decision based on science safety recommendations.
However, now may be the perfect time for you to work with me at a distance this summer and into the fall. The Become A Retreat Coach Homestudy Program is being updated and will be available by June 10th. This may be a perfect affordable option for you do while observing The Great Pause. And it will get you ready to lead retreats in the new year with confidence and with your new developed skill set. Or…you have the option to work with me 1:1 this summer through private coaching sessions. If this calls to you, email me at coachhelene@gmail.com and let’s see how we can create a retreat business for you that will make your dreams come true.
If you are someone that dreams of leading retreats or is currently leading them through your business, then the training at Retreat Coaches may just be for you.
If you love the outdoors and want to take people on Nature retreats, we have a training for you too.
If you want to begin and train from a distance there is the HomeStudy Program.
Keep reading and let’s get you enrolled in a learning program that will inspire your work.

“I learned the power of circles, connection and creativity on retreat. I gained powerful, practical tools to make me an expert facilitator with a variety of different groups – from professional team building to women’s rest and renewal retreats. Five years later, I often still reference my Retreat Coach training notebook with hundreds of pages of valuable materials. Coach Helene is a master coach in every sense of the word and as a mentor and friend, she has inspired me to incorporate retreat as a necessary – not optional – aspect of both my professional and personal lives.” ~ Elizabeth Barbour
