SWAT Institute Curriculum

The SWAT Certified Coaching Program is divided into three modules:

Module 1 – Building the Temple: Mind and Body

Without great health and vitality, succeeding in other areas is far more challenging. When our bodies are aligned, we have the strength to tackle the other parts of life—money, relationships, home, family, and living with purpose and passion; we have the strength to reach our highest potential.
Module 1 is composed of 3 courses
Nutrition & Physiology – This course explores the functions of various body systems as we discover the role of nutrition in health and disease management and prevention. Topics include: the sources and functions of nutrients, foundation of a balanced diet, weight management, physical activity, fitness and eastern holistic approaches to diet and nutrition. We use both Western and Eastern philosophies.

Psychology – This course explores the concepts and philosophies used in positively meeting life’s challenges, coping with stress, dealing with emotional struggles, developing self-identity, creating healthy relationships, and embracing healthier lifestyles.

Women’s Health and Wellness – Exploring the body-mind-soul connection in creating physical and emotional health and healing, this course is designed to finish off Module One in an esoteric and open-minded way. Students will learn from some of the world’s leading experts including Dr. Christian Northrup and Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz! Students must complete the 12-Week Total Transformation TeleCourse with Crystal Andrus in order to successfully graduate from the program..

Module 2: Empowerment Coaching

Module Two is spent directly with SWAT Founder, Crystal Andrus, as well as learning from some of the world’s most powerful teachers including Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, Sandra Anne Taylor and Colette Baron-Reid.

Using Crystal’s distinct style of coaching, students are introduced to the higher realms of consciousness and empowerment while addressing core beliefs, patterns, and neurolinguistics. Students learn first-hand how to identify what is holding a client back, i.e. shame, guilt, blame, fear, grief, and anger, while shifting them into courage, willingness, and faith. Students are empowered to develop their intuition, while remaining very grounded and task-oriented. A more metaphysical module than the Module One, studying universal laws, metaphysics, and energy work, students understand the emotional and spiritual components of success.

Students finish up this module with a personal sense of strength to laser in on truth, lies, and solutions! Students will do 4 weeks of practice coaching, then will send in three (3) of their recorded coaching calls to be graded.

Module 3: The Business Behind the Business!

Rarely trained with proven techniques for recruiting leads, converting sales, overcoming objections, and effective marketing, as well as voice training and building a “brand”, there are countless highly-trained and motivated counsellors and coaches struggling to get their own practice off the ground.

Graduates leave Module Three with an understanding of internet marketing, social media, branding, web design, strategic business planning and forecasting, while also understanding how to help their own clients achieve financial success. The course provides you with mastery in all aspects of business and will assist you in becoming a successful coach.

Students will be required to complete the 12-Week Total Transformation TeleCourse. This must be completed in order to successfully complete the program.

Upon graduation, a SWAT Certified Coach can choose to continue to receive on-going support via The Crystal Club — the SWAT Membership Site. This includes your own website with an e-commerce site, lead generation and continual support from The SWAT Institute — faculty and students. In addition to being SWAT Accredited, you will also be Accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).

SWAT FAQ

How Does a Virtual Classroom Work?

The SWAT Institute has set the standard in technology, experience, quality and affordability.

Technology – It’s not enough to offer tele-bridging, eBooks and email courses. The SWAT Institute relies heavily on technology. Our training utilizes the latest technology in web- based software including:

• At our learning platform at http://www.swatoncall.com we put our students first with easy access to your coursework,
assignments, and quizzes.
• We use on-line and phone access for all lectures.
• A minimum of one to two new Conference Calls monthly with faculty and special guests, with access to all recorded
calls already in our curriculum.
• Weekly Homework.
• E-mail tips from faculty and classmates easily shared on our learning platform, along with easy access to faculty and
our student community.
• Global Collaboration.
• Regular newsletters.
• On-line grading.
• Plus, we have an interactive business building membership site called The Crystal Club—that includes access to our
International SWAT Certified Coaching Directory.

Quality and Experience – Do your homework! Look at the curriculum, platform, courseware content, required reading materials, and credentials of our teachers. Compare their experience and subject knowledge. You will see our program is superior to anything on the market today. We provide the highest caliber of subject matter, coaching, software, platform, technical support, and mentoring to our students.

Affordability – After quality, consider the cost. Don’t fall for cheap scams. You can’t expect to train for a position paying $50 – $150 an hour, for the cost of a hotel room, but you shouldn’t have to refinance your car either! Education is an investment and the dividends received are proportionate to what you invest. There is no such thing as something for nothing! Your clients rely on your experience and training. If you don’t have any, they will quickly discover it and find someone who does possess the right skill-set.

What are the minimum requirements for admission to the SWAT Institute?

Skill-set requirements include: The 12-Week BODY-MIND-SOUL Total Transformation TeleCourse is a pre-requisite for Module Two in this diploma program. It is also highly-recommended to have basic CPR and First Aid

Hardware requirements include: Computer set-up with modem, duplex soundcard, phone line separate from internet access, and either a headset or microphone and speakers to participate in the class.

Software requirements include: PC Users: MS Word 97 or newer (or compatible software), Windows XP Professional, Vista, or Windows 7, including an email program supporting attachments.

Mac Users: We also provide assistance to students working within Mac environments and will offer suggestions for document conversion options.

What are the other benefits of being a SWAT Certified Coach?

• Coach Certification. Once certain program requirements are fulfilled and approved, such as satisfactory completion of
courses, client coaching hours, mentor coaching, case studies, etc., you will receive the SWAT Institute certification
for marketing and credibility purposes.

• University-level textbooks. Undoubtedly, our program uses the most comprehensive printed curriculum in the world.
Our college-level textbooks will provide you with state-of-the-art learning tools brought to life by our seasoned faculty.

• License to use our materials. Immediately start using our pre-designed forms, assessments, tools and other programs
with your clients.

• A flattened learning curve. When you are working with experienced coaches and teachers who care about your success,
you stay on track and focus on the future. With weekly TeleClasses, you will have time to both integrate and practise
what you learn, thus ensuring that these skills, concepts and phrasing are permanently a part of your coaching toolbox.

• The Crystal Club. You will be encouraged to build a strong network with other SWAT Certified Coaches via The Crystal
Club—a membership site dedicated to you and all your health, fitness, emotional, spiritual and business needs! As a
member of The Crystal Club you can purchase all our products at wholesale pricing—or sell them directly from your
website (which we will also provide you via The Crystal Club) but you keep all the profits! Additionally, SWAT graduates
are invited to join our International SWAT Certified Coaching Directory via The Crystal Club where we not only promote

you as a newly certified coach but we drive our leads your way and help you to convert them into new clients. Coaches

who haven’t been trained with us regularly ask to join this private directory…they can’t!

• Affordable pricing. We’ve kept tuition low compared to other coaching institutes. Payment plans are also available to
support you in getting started soon. There will be additional fees for books, office supplies, and required reading
materials. What is the cost? When you evaluate the SWAT Institute, including our International SWAT Certified
Coaching Directory, you can be confident that you are getting the highest quality program at an extremely reasonable
price!

What is the amount of time or courses that are live rather than taught through pre-recordings?

Our program is unique as our students are not on a fixed timeline and can start at any time that is convenient to them, also our students are from all over the world and in different time zones. Thus most of the courses will be taught via online text and pre-recorded lectures. When Crystal holds her 12 week teleseminar courses she may ask the students who are able to join live on the calls. All live calls with guest speakers will always be saved as mp3’s for our students so they do not miss out! For example Crystal just had an exciting interview with Dr. Christiane Northrup which will be saved as an mp3 for our students.

Will my SWAT Certification accreditation have real value?

You bet it does! Here’s why:

Successful professional coaching is about your client’s success. It’s about your ability to truly help an individual achieve her goals.

Our SWAT Certification course was developed by some of the most experienced professionals in the coaching industry. Combined, they have over four decades of professional experience in developing systems and programs that have helped millions of people to improve their lives and achieve a higher level of success. From this experience they have identified the very best professional coaching practices, techniques and methodologies and combined them into a practical, easy-to-use coaching system that supplies you with everything you will need to insure your clients will receive the finest coaching experience available.

What about my SWAT Coach credential? Is it real?

Yes, the SWAT Certified Coach credential is absolutely real.

There are over a half of a dozen organizations providing life coaching certifications. Their training programs range from two days to 3 years.

The truth is there is no government regulatory agency that sanctions or oversees life coaching certification. In the end, the true value of any coaching credential is measured by the recipient’s ability to deliver meaningful, successful coaching to each and every client served.

When you graduate from The SWAT Institute, you will have gained not only your SWAT & AADP certification, you will have also acquired the expert knowledge and complete confidence to fully utilize the finest professional and comprehensive coaching system available.

Will there be any additional costs other than my tuition fee?

There will be additional cost for books during your course. The average cost is $300-$400 (depending if you prefer print or e-Book version). You are not required to pay for your books all at once. As you finish one course, you move on to the next course and at that time you will pay for the corresponding books. The cost is then spread out throughout the year.

Will I be able to write a diet plan for a client?

As a life coach you will be able to empower women through changes they need to make to have success in each area of their life. You will have excellent knowledge of the foundation of a healthy diet; understanding the nutrition recommendations and guidelines for a healthy diet and weight management. You will be able to share tips to guide clients in healthy eating. You will have resources to share with your client regarding healthy eating and weight management.

Will I be able to write a fitness plan for a client?

As a life coach you will be able to empower women through changes they need to make to have success in each area of their life. You will understand the true benefits and importance of exercise and physical activity. You will be able to provide some tips of what exercise may be most suited to your client. As an example Crystal’s book Simply Woman includes a workout DVD.

Is the SWAT Institute Accredited with the International Coaching Federation?

The ICF is an independent credentialing program, which The SWAT Institute recognizes as a respectable organization trying to standardize and organize coach training. We have looked into what it takes to become ICF certified and at this point The SWAT Institute chooses not to move forward with this. As our Empowerment Coaching Program is unique, it is essential to retain its integrity and flexibility to continue to meet the vision for our school and offer the highest quality program to our students. The SWAT Institute goes above and beyond what the ICF requires and at this time they do not have a process to recognize the other attributes of our school.

I have…
And I must tell you that once you discover your passion—the thing that lifts your spirit to heights unimaginable—you will never be content living a mediocre life again!

I know…
Whether it’s getting up on a stage to talk to 5, 000 people or inviting a small group of 20 women to my home retreat, when I am blessed enough to be able to share my insights, experiences, vision, and hope with others, I am exalted to a level of consciousness that I presume the word “bliss” must be describing.

I’ve found my bliss…
It is the “one thing” I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that is my calling!! Sure, I write books! I create products, work on TV, train coaches, market and produce my events, etc. etc. etc., but it’s none of these things that give me the rush I get when I walk off the stage knowing that God has just used me as His messenger! And that is precisely what I feel like…

I am a messenger…
Sometimes my message is condensed into a 90-minute talk that will give you all the tools you need to tackle any challenge in your life. Other times, it is a 5-day retreat that will, literally, leave you a transformed being.

Become A Coach

Women are different than men…everything about us from our bodies, hormones, brains, and metabolisms, to our needs and desires. We respond differently to problems and emotional demands. When we are happy, our homes are happy. When we aren’t, everyone feels it. Women are the emotional center of not only the home but of our world. “When Momma
ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!”

Over the past hundred years, women around the globe have fought (or are fighting) for the right to a fulfilling career, relationship, family, home, wealth, health, body, sex & spiritual life. Many women are still learning how to balance all these areas, while many others feel totally confused. Unless we’ve done some serious soul-searching we are competitive and far too critical. We see ourselves through extremely scrutinizing eyes and think the world does too. Our hormones are out of balance, our weight is ballooning, our relationships are complicated and our finances are a mess.

Women need specialized coaches who can see through the lenses of a woman and who understand our specific struggles and solutions.

A SWAT Certified Coach is exclusively trained to integrate these areas, while solving acute and chronic life struggles.

Proper potassium balance essential to healthy blood pressure and reduced heart attack risk

by: John Phillip

(NaturalNews) Increasing incidence of high blood pressure continues to be the most significant factor in death from a heart attack and advancing cardiovascular disease. Elevated blood pressure readings cause thickening of the coronary arteries as micro-cracks develop that the body attempts to correct with deposits of coronary plaque. Overweight and obesity, smoking, physical inactivity and stress are known contributing factors to the hypertension epidemic. Researchers publishing in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that the imbalance of potassium to sodium in the diet is a significant factor driving high blood pressure. Maintaining an optimized ratio of 2:1 (potassium to sodium) by cutting salty processed foods and increasing natural fruits and vegetables is shown to significantly lower out of control blood pressure readings.

Potassium from natural food sources has been rapidly depleted from the typical diet due to the dramatic rise in sodium-laden processed foods over the past half century. Combined with a reduction in raw vegetables and fruits that are excellent sources of potassium, the balance of potassium to sodium in the diet has shifted from an ideal ratio of 2:1 to a blood pressure raising rate of 2:3. Current potassium intake is fully one-third that of our generational ancestors and is attributed to the skyrocketing increase in high blood pressure incidence and associated cardiovascular risk.

Researchers examining the potassium intake across 21 countries including the US found that average daily consumption of the mineral ranged from 1.7 to 3.7 grams, well below the recommended daily allowance of 4.7 grams. Similarly, sodium consumption averaged 5 grams per day with many individuals taking in as much as 9 to 12 grams. The recommended sodium intake is 2,400 mg daily and 1,500 mg or less is suggested for those with established cardiovascular risk factors.

The study found that only 20% to 30 % of the adult population maintains normal blood pressure readings. The study authors found “An effective way of increasing potassium intake is to follow the guidelines for healthy nutrition more closely, including a higher consumption of vegetables and fruit. In addition, the use of mineral salts in processed foods – by which sodium is partly replaced by potassium – would contribute to an improved intake of both sodium and potassium.”

The study concluded that increasing potassium in the diet has a significant effect on lowering blood pressure and is equal to the effect seen by lowering sodium consumption. Higher potassium intake from natural sources including avocados, spinach, carrots and tomatoes and elimination of sodium-infused processed foods (snacks, soup and fast food) can combine to lower systolic blood pressure readings by 5% to 7%. Improving this single risk factor could reduce hypertension rates enough to dramatically lower cardiovascular risk and heart attack deaths.
