The Freedom of

Contemplative Independence

Create a learning journey that moves at your own speed.

Join our global community of students to move from ‘curiosity’ to ‘competence’ through a structured, reflective, and completely flexible environment.

This is an invitation to take ownership of your professional development. While some prefer the intensity of a live classroom, there is a practical freedom in self-study – allowing you to deep-dive into the modules whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

By choosing this pathway, you give yourself the gift of a ‘no-pressure’ environment, where the concepts have time to settle and the learning fits seamlessly into your daily routine.


  • Complete Flexibility: You have the ultimate freedom. Move through the 11 modules in any order that sparks your interest, revisiting videos and exercises as often as you need.
  • Reflective Depth: Because you are learning independently, the course is designed to be your silent mentor. Every lesson is paired with reflective questions and expert sample answers to ensure you are thinking like a coach from the very first module.
  • Structured Accountability: While you study at your own pace, you are not without direction. The end-of-module quizzes provide a clear sense of progress to help keep up your momentum and focus as you move toward your certification.
  • The Support Network: You join a community of fellow students and teacher, providing a space for ongoing connection, shared insights, and professional support.

It is a thoughtful path – one that provides a robust professional grounding while respecting the unique rhythm of your personal and professional life. – Dr Claire Maguire

This course is practical, flexible, and highly relevant to everyday life. It provides a good balance of theory and real-life application, making it easy to understand and use the concepts in both personal and professional settings. The self-paced format also makes it accessible, especially for those with busy schedules. – Vida Aba B

I have begun using the coaching techniques from the course, especially active listening and asking open-ended questions, to better support others. I am more focused on helping people set realistic goals, build healthier habits, and find practical ways to improve their wellbeing. Overall, the course has made my approach more structured, empathetic, and effective – Vida Aba B.


How The Training Works:

This is a structured, online training designed to be both robust and flexible. It allows you to follow your curiosity and respond to your own learning needs as you master the curriculum.

The Independent Rhythm:

Watch & Absorb: Each concept is taught through clear video lessons that guide you through both the theory and the practical applications of health and wellbeing coaching.

Reflect & Apply: After each lesson, you are challenged with questions that apply the concepts to your own life and realistic coaching scenarios. This builds the critical thinking skills needed for effective practice.

Compare & Expand: For every reflection, you receive thoughtful sample answers. These provide additional perspectives and insights, helping you see different ways of thinking about the material.

Verify & Progress: Knowledge-building quizzes act as a simple checkpoint for your learning. They allow you to confirm your understanding of the material as you move through the 11 modules at your own pace.

This is a fantastic course to get ready to coach, lead, facilitate or simply share these techniques in your personal and/or professional life – Laura E.


A Comprehensive Curriculum 


A Comprehensive Curriculum 

The Independent Pathway covers the exact same rigorous modules as our other pathways. While you have the freedom to move through the material at your own pace, you are studying the complete Raw Horizons curriculum – ensuring you graduate as a certified Health & Wellbeing Coach with a high standard of professional knowledge.

The part of the course I found most useful was learning about managing stress. It felt very relevant to everyday life, and I appreciated how practical and easy to apply the techniques were. Understanding how stress affects the body and mind helped me become more aware of my own triggers, as well as how to respond to them better.

This training is approved for 100 CPD Hours by the Association for Coaching, recognising the quality and professional depth of the Raw Horizons curriculum.

Upon successful completion of the Independent Pathway, you graduate as a certified Health & Wellbeing Coach. You will receive professional recognition to support your practice and showcase your training:

You’ll be awarded:

Is the Independent Path Right for You?

This pathway is often the best fit for those who recognise themselves in one of the following:

  • You value personal autonomy: You have a busy or unpredictable schedule and need the freedom to fit your learning into the gaps of your day, whenever they appear.
  • You are a self-motivated learner: You enjoy the process of independent discovery and feel confident moving through a structured curriculum without the need for live workshops.
  • You want to start immediately: You are ready to dive into the material today rather than waiting for a specific intake date or a scheduled cohort.
  • You want the space to reflect: You appreciate a “no-pressure” environment where you can pause, revisit, and contemplate the modules as many times as you need.

This might not be for you if:

  • You thrive on live interaction: You know you learn best when you can engage in real-time discussion and ask questions as they land (Our 5-Day Immersion is your path).
  • You want group accountability: You prefer to move through the curriculum alongside a cohort and want the support of a regular ‘pod’ practice (Our Integration Pathway is your path).
  • You require dual course accreditation: You need the specific registration with the Personalised Care Institute or direct membership with the AC included in your training.

A note from

Dr Claire Maguire


I created the Independent Pathway for the self-starters—the people who have a deep desire to help others but need a training that respects their personal autonomy.

I know that life can be full, and sometimes the best way to grow is in the quiet, contemplative moments of your own day. This format provides the exact same curriculum as my live courses, but it gives you the steering wheel. You have the space to pause, reflect, and revisit any part of the training as many times as you need until the knowledge truly feels like your own.

While you are moving through the modules at your own pace, I am right there with you in every video, sharing the insights I’ve gathered over a decade of training coaches. If you are looking for a professional grounding that you can start right now, exactly where you are, I would be delighted to support your journey.
