Holistic Coaching for Healthcare Providers
Join Kenzie Wilcox-Ingebrand, PCC, certified holistic life coach and presenter with ICF, for a powerful exploration into the world of holistic coaching for the healthcare community. In this session, Kenzie shares her integrative coaching method designed to support those who witness trauma routinely, often without emotional release or processing. You’ll learn how to help clients identify emotional states using tools like the Feelings Wheel, reframe limiting patterns, create self-awareness through prompted journaling, and implement restorative grounding exercises.
Kenzie will also demonstrate how to support clients in developing healthy boundaries rooted in their core values, while distinguishing them from reactive or self-protective barriers that can hinder wellbeing. Attendees will walk away with practical tools, coaching prompts, and body-based awareness practices that they can immediately use with clients.
Kenzie’s work reflects her unwavering belief that when healers receive healing, the ripple extends to the entire system — colleagues, partners, children, and communities.
Supervision for Wellbeing
Participants will observe a live supervision process with an experienced coach (with a particular focus on the realities of team coaching – complexity, multiple stakeholders, systemic pressure). A well‑held supervisory space enables coaches to slow down, name what they are carrying, and reconnect with their own judgement, boundaries and inner resources.
We’ll explore what actually shifted for the supervisee, what enabled that shift, and how this differs from mentoring, peer support or simple venting. We will explicitly link what happens in the room to core dimensions of practitioner wellbeing: emotional containment, reduced isolation, ethical robustness and sustainable engagement with clients and teams.
The session is designed for coaches and team coaches who are curious about supervision but may not yet have experienced it and want to explore its deeper, restorative function. Participants will leave with a clearer felt sense of what supervision can offer them personally and professionally.
What Comes After Growth Mindset
How we show up and interact, reveals what we value, what we fear, how we think and what we believe. In this session we begin by noticing. Notice how we tend to show up in conversation. We will explore four types of mindsets that influence how we engage in conversation. The characteristics produce an energetic signature. Our mindset influences tone, timing, and ultimately then, how others perceive our trustworthiness. By applying several of the ICF sub-competencies, learn how to notice when a judgement arises and pause to allow curiosity to bubble up so we can generate new awareness that is the seed of evolution. The session offers an opportunity to match mindset traits with a specific business context, key relationship(s), and professional experience, applied first to self and second to your client context.
